Greetings Community, I want to show comments with the template single.php having the permalink /% postname% / since the published posts remain with the assigned name but when wanting to display the post with draft status, does it generate the URL? post_type = comments & p = 1736 a 404 error, is it possible to show this type of post in another way?
A thousand thanks.
The %postname% corresponds to the field post_slug of the table wp_posts and this field is calculated with the function wp_unique_post_slug() when you change the status to published .
In this answer propose this Function:
global $post;
if (in_array($post->post_status, array('draft', 'pending', 'auto-draft'))) {
$my_post = clone $post;
$my_post->post_status = 'published';
$my_post->post_name = sanitize_title($my_post->post_name ? $my_post->post_name : $my_post->post_title, $my_post->ID);
$permalink = get_permalink($my_post);
} else {
$permalink = get_permalink();
}
This function can be placed in your file functions.php following a tutorial like this .
