By the looks of it, there’s a plugin to achieve exactly this, so save you rolling your own for it. The plugin is: https://wordpress.org/plugins/permalinks-customizer/ I installed it to test that it does what you’re looking for. Here’s a screenshot that shows what you’d do:
add_rewrite_rule() allows you to turn the pretty url into variables. numbers: (\d*) section: /rid/ or /pageid/ slug: ([a-zA-Z0-9-]+ Here is a class to register the rewrite and handle the request if a match has been found. <?php if ( ! class_exists( ‘CPTURLRewrite’ ) ): class CPTURLRewrite { const ENDPOINT_QUERY_NAME = ‘pageid’; const ENDPOINT_QUERY_PARAM = ‘__pageid’; … Read more

Check out the Roots WordPress Theme. They seem to do exactly what you want with the URLs. Here’s a snippet from their roots-htaccess.php file: add_action( ‘generate_rewrite_rules’, ‘roots_add_rewrites’ ); function roots_add_rewrites($content) { $theme_name = next( explode( ‘/themes/’, get_stylesheet_directory() ) ); global $wp_rewrite; $roots_new_non_wp_rules = array( ‘css/(.*)’ => ‘wp-content/themes/’ . $theme_name . ‘/css/$1’, ‘js/(.*)’ => ‘wp-content/themes/’ . … Read more
It’s not clear from your question what you are changing in each of these files, but I presume in each case it is the upload_max_filesize PHP setting. In general, settings will be applied in this order, each over-riding the previous value: php.ini Apache directives in .htaccess calls to ini_set() However, this setting is defined as … Read more
You can actually do this from inside WordPress itself, instead of needing to come up with a confusing and overengineered .htaccess fix.
