I’ve figured this out. URL rewrites were the trick:


function wire_alternate_pdp_url()
{
global $wp,$wp_rewrite;
$wp->add_query_var('mode');
add_rewrite_rule('work/all/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?', 'index.php?post_type=project&name=$matches[2]&mode=all', 'top');

}

This rewrites /work/all/identity/my-project to the correct template based on the post_type and name. I also introduce a mode variable that flows through in the rewrite that my single-project.php template can make use of.

Works like a charm 🙂

Let me re-phrase my question since my first one really wasn’t clear.

I have a custom post type called project. In my single-project.php template I’ll have previous and next links to allow users to navigate to adjacent projects. In the case where the url to a single project is:
/all/works/identity/my-project

the next/previous links will not consider the category of the project when determining adjacent projects. In the case where the url is:
/works/identity/my-project

the next/previous links will only allow the user to navigate through projects for the identity category.

So my question is this:

How do I configure wordpress to map both URLs to the same project-single.php file?

Thanks!
