Change Portfolio Link to Custom Link

Support
#1

Good afternoon,

I was able to answer part of my question in the forum from this thread: https://theme.co/apex/forums/topic/portfolio-item-page-layout-problem-no-fullwidth-band-possible/#post-37259

However… I have the portfolio items located on my home page, as well as my events calendar page, and when I click the image it doesn’t direct to the custom URL I want it to go to, like it does on the portfolio page.

Here is the page where it’s acting how I want:
http://gnplc.ca/jana/upcoming-programs/
When you click on one of the programs, it links to the page I want it to - that’s great.

However, here, on the home page, it does not. It links to the portfolio info page:
http://gnplc.ca/jana/

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello @janaroberts,

Thanks for writing in!

The given code will only apply to the portfolio page or in the http://gnplc.ca/jana/upcoming-programs/ in your case.
The code does not apply to the recent posts element which you have used in your homepage.

Please have the code updated and use this instead:

add_filter( 'post_type_link', 'x_remap_portfolio_permalink_to_project_link', 10, 4);
add_filter( 'post_link', 'x_remap_portfolio_permalink_to_project_link', 10, 4);

function x_remap_portfolio_permalink_to_project_link($post_link, $post, $leavename, $sample) {

    if ('x-portfolio' == $post->post_type) {
        $custom = get_post_custom($post->id);

        if (isset($custom['_x_portfolio_project_link']) && $custom['_x_portfolio_project_link'][0]!='')
            return $custom['_x_portfolio_project_link'][0];
    }

    return $post_link;
}

We would love to know if this has worked for you. Thank you.

Good morning!

I tried out the code provided in my child theme functions.php and I received the following error:

Your PHP code changes were rolled back due to an error on line 28 of file wp-content/themes/x-child/functions.php. Please fix and try saving again.

Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function x_remap_portfolio_permalink_to_project_link(), 3 passed in wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 286 and exactly 4 expected in wp-content/themes/x-child/functions.php:28

Hey @janaroberts,

Try replacing the previous code with the following:

add_filter( 'post_type_link', 'x_remap_portfolio_permalink_to_project_link', 10, 3);
add_filter( 'post_link', 'x_remap_portfolio_permalink_to_project_link', 10, 3);

function x_remap_portfolio_permalink_to_project_link($post_link, $post, $leavename=false) {

    if ('x-portfolio' == $post->post_type) {
        $custom = get_post_custom($post->id);

        if (isset($custom['_x_portfolio_project_link']) && $custom['_x_portfolio_project_link'][0]!='')
            return $custom['_x_portfolio_project_link'][0];
    }

    return $post_link;
}

Let us know how this goes!

Linking portfolio thumbnail to my own URL

Thank you for the updated code. That one isn’t throwing any errors, so that is great. However, when I go to test the “portfolio” items on my home page/calendar page, they are still linking to the portfolio landing page for that item, rather than the custom URL I want it to go to… like it does correctly on the “upcoming programs” page.

I was able to find a work around with the following plug-in: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-link-to-external-links-from-the-post-title-in-wordpress/

Thanks!
