Create WordPress Endpoints

January 13, 2016

I was building a wordpress plugin for use with Rand Group’s website and other clients. One of the features of this plugin is to provide a slug for displaying resources built from Download Monitor( shown below )

`
/[content-type]/[download-slug]

e.g.

/brochure/7-mistakes-in-software-integration

// this should be interpreted by wordpress like

/?brochure=7-mistakes-in-software-integration
`

WordPress provides functions to do this pretty easily. I list this steps below

1. Identify your endpoints
2. Add your endpoint
3. Register a function to add query variables
4. Provide a handler
