Creating a custom rewrite for a single page

Thanks to the help of the link provided by @q-studio I was able to determine the correct course of action.

Firstly I setup an action to load the code in the init using the ‘init’ tags in an add_action(); within my functions.php file.

add_action( 'init', 'wpteaminfo_init' );

Then i created the function to setup my id variable with add_rewrite_tag(); then I added a rewrite rule with add_rewrite_rule();

function wpteaminfo_init()
{
    add_rewrite_tag('%id%','([^&]+)');
    add_rewrite_rule('^team-info/([0-9]{1,})/?','index.php?page_id=735&id=$matches[1]','top');
}

Finally on my page due to using a php snippet to get and style the json data I had to create a variable from the final part of the url.

this was accomplished by using get_query_var(); and putting the variable name within the brackets.

In my case i set the code up using this

$requestid = get_query_var( 'id' );

then the result was by having the url as so url/team-info/123/ it was returning the id which in this case is 123, sending it to the webpage in a usable variable $requestid.

I hope this helps anyone who finds it.
