wp rewrite structure

Updates the permalink structure.

In this article

Sets the post permalink structure to the specified pattern. To regenerate a .htaccess file with WP-CLI, you’ll need to add the mod_rewrite module to your WP-CLI config. For example:
apache_modules:
  - mod_rewrite

Options

<permastruct>
The new permalink structure to apply.
[--category-base=<base>]
Set the base for category permalinks, i.e. ‘/category/’.
[--tag-base=<base>]
Set the base for tag permalinks, i.e. ‘/tag/’.
[--hard]
Perform a hard flush – update .htaccess rules as well as rewrite rules in database.

Examples

$ wp rewrite structure '/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/'
Success: Rewrite structure set.
