As this is a WordPress custom post type then you need to use the same slug as far as I am aware. But instead of using the /commercial/ slug just create a page and use a shortcode, eg call the page:
Commercial For Lease (slug would be) /commercial-for-lease/
Shortcode to use is the [listing_category] Shortcode.
[listing_category commercial_listing_type=lease status=current]
Ok, understood the workaround.
But, let me point out that in WP you can have different slugs for archive and for single.
In register_post_type args you can specify both:
'rewrite' = array(
'slug' => 'property',
'with_front' => false,
'pages' => true,
'feeds' => false,
),
'has_archive' => 'properties',
the “slug” in rewrite array is the slug of single posts
the string in “has_archive” is the slug of the archive
Ah in that case you can use the epl_property_post_type_args filter to alter the defaults.
And i did not know that so thanks. I thought it was a true/false value but its also a string… 🙂
WordPress register_post_type()
The EPL_PROPERTY_DISABLE_ARCHIVE constant will let you change that value
(as we thought it was true/false the constant name could be better bout you can still use it:
How to modify the custom post type slugs for each listing type for localisation or other names
define( EPL_PROPERTY_DISABLE_ARCHIVE, 'my-new-slug' );
hmmm, doesn’t seem to work…? Ah our code is only supporting true/false
Our code is written like this. Will add this as a feature request
$archives = defined( 'EPL_PROPERTY_DISABLE_ARCHIVE' ) && EPL_PROPERTY_DISABLE_ARCHIVE ? false : true;
GitIssue: https://github.com/easypropertylistings/Easy-Property-Listings/issues/1053
What you can do in the meantime is use the filter epl_property_post_type_args
You can replace the has_archive using that filter e.g.
function my_epl_property_post_type_args( $array ) {
$array['has_archive'] = 'properties';
return $array;
}
add_filter( 'epl_property_post_type_args', 'my_epl_property_post_type_args' );
And this solution makes the feature request redundant

Yes, actually I’ve already been doing with the epl_property_post_type_args filter, for the very reason you pointed out.
But I don’t think the feature request is redundant, defining the constant would be easier for most users.
thanks anyway for the quick support!
