WordPress automatically provides REST API endpoints for custom post types. The endpoints would typically follow this format for Knowledge Base #1:

  • for a single knowledge base article.
    https://www.yourwebsite    .com/wp-json/wp/v2/epkb_post_type_1/{post_id}

Removing the URL seq_no

Copy the URL link to this section to share

When an article is assigned to multiple categories in our Knowledge Base (KB), we append a seq_no parameter to the URL. The article page includes a navigation sidebar displaying all categories and articles within the KB. To ensure the article opens under the correct category in the sidebar, the seq_no parameter specifies the desired category location.

You can avoid using seq_no in the URL in two ways:

  1. Assign each article to only one category.
  2. Add the hook provided below to your functions.php file.

 

This hook sets the article’s breadcrumbs and navigation to default to the first assigned category. Consult your web developer if you need assistance implementing this code.

WordPress Shortcode
				// Removes the seq no in URL
 add_filter( 'article_with_seq_no_in_url_enable', '__return_true');
