Since you want to add something to the end of every post/page rewrite rule, you probably can just add a rewrite endpoint. These are regexes of the form /[endpoint_name](/[optional_extra_stuff])?
that are appended to the already generated rules for pages, posts, archives, …
You define on which structures you want to add them by setting the endpoint mask. This is a bitmask, so you can combine different groups using the |
operator, like this: EP_PERMALINK | EP_PAGES
will match for every page and every permalink (full post and date-based archives). The default list of endpoints can be found at the top of wp-includes/rewrite.php
.
The following code will add /remove(/(.*))?
to the existing rewrite rules for pages, posts and date-based archives (for some reason they are generated twice, once in EP_PERMALINK
and once in EP_DATE
). remove
will also be available as a public query var, so you can do $wp_query->get( 'remove' )
to get the value (if set) of the [optional_extra_stuff]
in the URL.
add_filter( 'init', 'wpse2614_init' );
function wpse2614_init()
{
add_rewrite_endpoint( 'remove', EP_PERMALINK | EP_PAGES );
}
