Movies Rewrites Demo

Description: WordPress plugin that registers a movie CPT with custom permalinks (/movies/%genre%/%postname%/), a reviews endpoint, year archive rewrite rule and a custom feed /feed/movies.

Features

• Custom Post Type: movie
• Taxonomy: genre
• Custom permalink with %genre% replacement
• Endpoint: /reviews/ for single movie
• Rewrite rules: /movies/year/<YEAR>/, /movies/genre/<slug>/
• Custom RSS feed: /feed/movies

Installation (local)

1. Clone this repo into wp-content/plugins/:

   cd wp-content/plugins
   git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/movies-rewrites-demo.git
   
   
   
   
   

Update: EP_NONE Endpoint with Custom Rewrite Rule

New Feature

• Endpoint: /behind-the-scenes/
• Purpose: Demonstrates EP_NONE usage with custom add_rewrite_rule().
• How it Works:
  • EP_NONE means the endpoint is not automatically attached to WordPress default locations.
  • A manual regex rule is added to map the URL to the correct movie post.
  • Example URL:

    /movies/action/the-avengers/behind-the-scenes/
    

  • Shows a "🎥 Behind the Scenes" section for the selected movie.

Related Code

• add_rewrite_endpoint('behind-the-scenes', EP_NONE)
• add_rewrite_rule() for matching /behind-the-scenes/ URLs.
• Logic in template_redirect hook to display endpoint content.

Testing

1. Go to Settings → Permalinks → Save Changes to flush rules.
2. Visit a movie URL with /behind-the-scenes/ at the end.
