Wordpress custom post type hierarchical argument redirects to 404 page-CodePudding

I have noticed that setting "hierarchical" => true, makes my custom post types return 404. I need hierarchy.

Is there any other way around?

I tried flushing my permalinks by going to settings->permalinks, but it didn't work.
I also tried flush_rewrite_rules() but it didn't work either.

function create_hotel_post_type()
{
  $labels = array(
    'name'                  => _x('Hotels', 'Post Type General Name', 'asdf'),
    'singular_name'         => _x('Hotel', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'asdf'),
    'menu_name'             => __('Hotels', 'asdf'),
    'name_admin_bar'        => __('Hotel', 'asdf'),

  );
  $args = array(
    'labels'                => $labels,
    'public'                => true,
    'publicly_queryable'    => true,
    'show_ui'               => true,
    'show_in_menu'          => true,
    'query_var'             => true,
    'capability_type'       => 'post',
    'has_archive'           => true,
    'hierarchical'          => true,
    'menu_position'         => 1,
    'supports'              => ['title', 'thumbnail', 'page-attributes'],
    'menu_icon'             => 'dashicons-building',
    'rewrite'               => ['with_front' => false,]
  );
  register_post_type('hotel', $args);
}

CodePudding user response：

It has nothing to do with hierarchical argument.

You just needed to remove 'rewrite'=>['with_front' => false,] argument.

Let me know if you could get it to work.

And the child page:

I fixed the issue by disabling a plugin called "Polylang Slug". Seems like it was causing conflict with permalinks.

As to Ruvees answer, page opens up properly on both "true" and "false" boolean values of the "with_front" key.
