Hi meteorite,

I managed to change the slug in my child theme by inserting this in my child theme’s functions.php file:

add_action('init', 'change_campaign_slug', 100);

function change_campaign_slug() {
	$args = get_post_type_object('campaign');
	$args->rewrite['slug'] = 'entrepreneur';
	register_post_type($args->name, $args);
}

function my_rewrite_flush() {
    change_campaign_slug();
    flush_rewrite_rules();
}

register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'my_rewrite_flush' );

I visited Settings -> Permalinks and save the settings and the slug was updated.

However, I am also trying to change the campaign category slug. I tried the following code in my child theme’s functions.php file:

add_action('init', 'change_campaign_category_slug');

function change_campaign_category_slug() {
	$taxonomy = get_object_taxonomies('campaign', 'names');
	$taxononmy->rewrite['slug'] = 'entrepreneur_category';
	register_taxonomy($taxonomy->name, $taxonomy);
}

function my_rewrite_flush_2() {
    change_campaign_category_slug();
    flush_rewrite_rules();
}

register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'my_rewrite_flush_2' );

but the ‘campaign_category’ does not change to ‘entrepreneur_category’. Any ideas on how to rewrite post object taxonomies?

Thank you!

Hello again Pheonix,

I think my issue has something to do with “flushing rewrite rules” but I am not sure how to go about it.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type#Flushing_Rewrite_on_Activation

I tried including the code snippet for plugin activation:

function my_rewrite_flush() {
    lm_register_campaign_post_type();

    flush_rewrite_rules();
}

register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'my_rewrite_flush' );

after this snippet of code in register-post-types.php:

if (!function_exists('lm_register_campaign_post_type')) {
...
}

but it is not working.

Do you have any idea how to go about this?

Thank you!

Hi Phoenix,

Thank you for you reply. I have modified the lines you mentioned and added this code to my functions.php file in my child theme:

$register_post_types_path = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/framework/plugins/livemesh-tools/includes/';
include_once($register_pot_types_path . 'register-post-types.php');

I visited Settings -> Permalinks after I FTPed the register-post-types.php file but the slugs did not updated. Do I need to change something in Settings -> Permalinks?

Is there anything else I should change in the register-post-types.php file to change the slugs?

Thanks again!!
