Examples

#1 Change the post edit link

Suppose the front end has a form for adding and editing the “Tow Truck” post type. By default, such posts can also be edited in the admin area. To keep all the logic in one place, replace admin edit links with links that lead to the front end:

add_filter( 'get_edit_post_link', 'change_post_edit_url', 11, 2 );

function change_post_edit_url( $link, $post_id ) {

	if ( get_post_type( $post_id ) === 'evacuator' ) {
		return home_url( '/evacuator-adv/?eap=' . $post_id );
	}

	return $link;
}
