I've made a WordPress website people can rent cars from brokers. So I have 2 custom post types:

• broker


• car

There are about 10 different cars on the website. All these cars are for each broker exactly the same.

So I've created a page template page-brokers.php that lists all the brokers.
If you click on a broker, you go to the detail page of the broker single-broker.php

The URL is saferental.be/broker/broker-name

On the detail page of the broker, you'll see all the 10 different cars. If you click on a car, you go to the car detail page, which is single-car.php

The URL is saferental.be/car/car-name

At the bottom of the car detail page, is a form to contact the broker you've selected previously. As you see in the URL, there is nothing mentioned of the selected broker.

When you select a broker, its information is saved in a session and pushed into hidden fields in the form.

Everything works perfectly:
- You select a broker
- You pick a car -> go to the car detail page
- Submit the car detail page form which sends the information to the selected broker.

The result I want to have:
- If you select a broker, you go to the detail page saferental.be/broker/broker-name/ (this is already okay)
- If you select a car, you go to the car detail page which should be something like this: saferental.be/broker/broker-name/car/car-name

Test website:
http://safelease.houston-1.hybridmedia.be/

The brokers are at the bottom of the homepage.

Do you want to keep that car detail page also will available under saferental.be/car/car-name?

If not, so — just put car detail page as child page to broker and url for this page will be saferental.be/broker/broker-name/car/car-name

If you want to many different urls for the same page — try to use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/mapping-multiple-urls-redirect-same-page/

I have done something similar to this myself.

This would go in your functions file:

// Setup rewrite rules something like http://yourdomain.com/broker/my-broker/car/my-car

add_action( 'init', 'rewrites_init' );

function rewrites_init() {

    add_rewrite_rule(

        'broker/([-a-zA-Z0-9]+)/car/([-a-zA-Z0-9]+)$',

        'index.php?broker=$matches[1]&car=$matches[2]',

        'top' );

}



// Add variables

add_filter('query_vars', 'add_query_vars', 0);

function add_query_vars($vars) {

    $vars = 'broker';

    $vars = 'car';

    return $vars;

}



// catch the request for this page

add_action('parse_request', 'parse_requests', 0);

function parse_requests() {

    global $wp, $wp_query;

    if(isset($wp->query_vars['broker']) && isset($wp->query_vars['car'])) {

        // find the car post

        $posts = new WP_Query( array(

            'post_type' => 'car',

            'name' => $wp->query_vars['car'],

            'post_status' => 'publish'

        ));

        if(!empty($posts) ) {

            // set the global query or set your own variable

            $wp_query = $posts;

            // set the broker variable to use in your template

            $broker = get_page_by_path( $wp->query_vars['broker'], OBJECT, 'broker' );

            // include your custom post type template

            if (include(locate_template('single-car.php', true))) {

                exit();

            }

        } else {

            // handle error

            $wp_query->set_404();

            status_header(404);

            locate_template('404.php', true);

            exit;

        }

    }

}

Then in your car template, you should be able to access the $broker post variable.

After you have setup your rewrite rules, you may need to go to Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks and save to set the rewrites.

Hopefully this helps you.
