WordPress中具有相同URL的多个页面

Question

I have a WordPress site that has a standard Page called Places with URL

example.com/places/

And I have several child Pages called by cities

example.com/places/city-1
example.com/places/city-2

Now, I have a custom post type Place that should indicate a single place and should have permalink like

example.com/places/place-1

But then if I go to one of the previous links with city-1, city-2 I get 404 obviously because there is no place with that permalink.

Is there a way for WordPress to drop to previous permalink. So if there is no place with that name, look for a page with it.

Answer 1

You could probably use the the REFERER-value from the PHP server variable $_SERVER, but it´s not very reliable and can be altered.

I am using the plugin "Permalink Finder" in one of the pages I am maintaining and that works quite well for finding changed URL. You could give it a try and see if it works for you, too.
