Numerical permalinks for post type

I need a function that will give a custom post type %post_id% permalinks. All other post types on the site use %postname%.

for custom post type %post_id% permalinks you perhaps just need the guid field

You can use 'slug' parameter of register_post_type() function in order to do that.

Normally you do that when you register your custom post type.
something like :
```
$labels = array(

     'name' => __( 'Product Categories', 'taxonomy general name' )

   );

   register_taxonomy('portfolio_cats',array('portfolio_posts'), array(

     'hierarchical' => true,

     'labels' => $labels,

     'show_ui' => true,

     'query_var' => true, 

     'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'gallery', 'with_front'=>false ),

   ));
```

  Check this out the solution is to use a filter :
```
add_filter('post_type_link', 'my_post_type_link_filter_function');
```

  I don't need a taxonomy to be in the permalink.

  Abdessamad Idrissi says:
  You don't need a taxonomy, but rather a filter to change the permalink.
  
  When you create a new post type, you use the register_post_type function. When you create a new post type through that function, WP creates a new rewrite rule base on the name you give the post type. In my case, I’ve created an issue post type, so all issues, by default, will have the permalink /issue/%issue%/ (where %issue% is replaced with the post slug). Using the rewrite argument to register_post_type, you can change the beginning of the permalink to something different (e.g., /bugs/%issue%/) should you so desire.
  
  Did you try the link I posted above?

Change your slug to:





add_filter('post_type_link', 'cpt_type_link', 1, 3);



function cpt_type_link($url, $post = null, $leavename = false)

{

    $tag = '%post_id%';



    if ($post->post_type != 'mycpt') {

        return $url;

    }



    $post_id = $post->ID;



    // replace tag with the slug: /youcpt/1234

    return str_replace($tag, $post_id, $url);

}







function cpt_add_rewrite_rules() 

{	

	register_post_type('mycpt', array(

                'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'products/%post_id%'),

                'query_var' => true // ....

            )

    );

	flush_rewrite_rules(); // call just on plugin activation

}



add_action('init', 'cpt_add_rewrite_rules');

That results in a url of "http://website.com/album/%post_id/first-post"
