assuming u is a custom query var, you have to first add it to the array of recognized query vars: function wpa_query_vars( $query_vars ){ $query_vars[] = ‘u’; return $query_vars; } add_filter(‘query_vars’, ‘wpa_query_vars’); Then add an internal rewrite rule that accepts anything appended to vendors and passes that as the u query var: function wpa_rewrite(){ add_rewrite_rule( … Read more

Your server does not have mod_rewrite enabled Or you do not have AllowOverride set correctly to allow your .htaccess file to operate correctly. You will need AllowOverride set to at least FileInfo.

Take a look at Redirection plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/ It’s a WordPress plugin to manage 301 redirections and keep track of 404 errors without requiring knowledge of Apache .htaccess files And you can use it for your other question How to: 301 Redirect /category/ to /customname/ to.
I am not sure why this happens, but you can stop all write access to your .htaccess with a simple filter: add_filter( ‘flush_rewrite_rules_hard’, ‘__return_false’ ); Neither WordPress nor any plugins calling flush_rewrite_rules() will write something into the file now.

Disable your site with a2dissite Edit the appropriate file in sites-available/ to include the AllowOverride … Read more
Htaccess is your friend in this case. You can create 301 form your old category base to the new like so: RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^old_dir/(.*) http://www.example.com/new_dir/$1 [R=301,L] Change old_dir to category example.com to your domain and new_dir to your custom name. Hope this helps. Ohad.
