flush_rewrite_rules() WordPress Function
The flush_rewrite_rules() function is used to refresh the permalinks in WordPress. This is useful when you change the permalink structure of your site, or when you change the URL of a post.
flush_rewrite_rules( bool $hard = true ) #
Removes rewrite rules and then recreate rewrite rules.
Parameters
- $hard
(bool)(Optional)Whether to update .htaccess (hard flush) or just update rewrite_rules option (soft flush). Default is true (hard).
Default value: true
More Information
This function is useful when used with custom post types as it allows for automatic flushing of the WordPress rewrite rules (usually needs to be done manually for new custom post types). However, this is an expensive operation so it should only be used when necessary.
