Issue: “Nothing Found” After Listing Title Change with Custom URL Structure

General HivePress
1

Hi HivePress team,

I’ve implemented a custom URL structure for my listings as follows:

/business/{state}/{city}/{category}/{slug}/

Everything works fine — when the state, city, or category changes, the redirect works properly.
However, when I edit a listing title, the page goes to “Nothing Found” instead of redirecting to the new URL.

I want the slug to automatically update (and redirect) when the title changes, but it seems HivePress doesn’t handle this automatically for hp_listing post types.

Could you please clarify:

  1. Does HivePress provide any hooks or filters for managing listing slugs or redirection after title changes?

  2. Is there a HivePress-specific method that prevents WordPress from regenerating slugs automatically?

  3. Should I be using a different approach for maintaining custom URL structures for listings?

  4. What’s the recommended way to force slug updates (and redirection) when a title is changed for the hp_listing post type?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Hi,

If it was implemented with a custom code, please make sure that it regenerates the structure for listings when the listing is updated [especially the title field or slug on the backend, you can try this hook hivepress/v1/models/listing/update or WP-level hook save_post]. Please note that HivePress doesn’t affect permalinks on the listing level and relies on WP Settings in Settings permalinks.

Thank you for the clarification — the issue is resolved.

Could you please suggest which third-party plugins are fully compatible with the ListingHive theme and HivePress plugin?
I want to ensure the website remains stable and performs well in the long run.

Specifically, I’d like recommendations for plugins related to:

  • SEO optimization

  • Caching and performance

  • Security

  • Backup and migration

  • Contact forms or user communication

Additionally, are there any other useful plugins you would suggest adding for better scalability, user experience, or future improvements of the website?

Thank you in advance for your recommendations and guidance!

Glad we helped.

There are plenty of quality plugins to choose from based on your requirements. For SEO, consider RankMath or Yoast SEO. For caching and performance, LiteSpeed Cache is good, and for security, Wordfence can be recommended. For backups and migration, popular options include UpdraftPlus, BackupBuddy, or All-in-One WP Migration, though it’s worth checking if your hosting plan already includes backup features.

When selecting any plugin, be sure to read reviews, check the last update date, verify WordPress compatibility, and review the support activity. This helps ensure you’re choosing well-maintained, trustworthy plugins.
