automattic / allow-numeric-stubs Goto Github PK

I modified the plugin code to work with CPTs. You can view my forked repository here: https://github.com/akshatkedia/allow-numeric-stubs

WordPress is now allowing numeric slugs for CPTs but when I visit a child post with a numeric slug it redirects to the parent post automatically. So for example I have a Programmes CPT. There is a parent program with the slug: programmes/city-in-visible/ and a child program with the slug: programmes/city-in-visible/2009/

Visiting programmes/city-in-visible/2009/ redirects to programmes/city-in-visible/

Can you please suggest a solution for this?

An all-numeric URL may come from part numbers, serial numbers, etc, and probably rely on search engines to index the unmodified numerical slug.

A status response of 301 creates a situation where search engines may update their index to the redirected URL /######-2/ whereas a 302 redirect will not initiate this update. And more specifically 302 has been superceded by 303 and 307 responses, with 307 likely the appropriate one.

I see that you're hooking into wp_unique_post_slug and am not sure you can control the redirect status from where you're doing this modification, so changing to 307 might not be an option. Thoughts?
