I tested this with WP 3.0.1, but in 3.1 the taxonomy query handling changed, so I don’t know whether this will work by default or if there is a better way to do it. add_action( … Read more

Check out my favorite Rewrite Analyzer plugin written by @Jan Fabry. It allows you to analyze your rewrite rules and really helps in debugging those rules.
This should work for you- function wpse28906_rewrites_init(){ add_rewrite_rule( ‘mypage/([^/]+)/?$’, ‘index.php?pagename=mypage&myslug=$matches[1]’, ‘top’ ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘wpse28906_rewrites_init’ ); function wpse28906_query_vars( $query_vars ){ $query_vars[] = ‘myslug’; return $query_vars; } add_filter( ‘query_vars’, ‘wpse28906_query_vars’ ); You can then use get_query_var( ‘myslug’ ) in your template to get your slug value.

I concur that you need to add a redirect. You can do this easily with the following function. I’m sure you will have to tweak it, but it’s a good proof-of-concept. add_action(‘parse_request’, ‘redirect_books_to_fiction’, 0); function redirect_books_to_fiction(){ global $wp; if(preg_match_all(‘~literature\/(.+)/(.+)?~’, $wp->request, $matches)){ $redirect = get_bloginfo(‘siteurl’).”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”.str_replace(‘books’, ‘fiction’, $wp->request); wp_redirect($redirect, 301); exit; } } To further answer you … Read more

the_permalink() is actually filtered in the Recommended Links plugin to echo a custom meta field called _href. If you want access to that field without echoing it, you can use get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘_href’, true ). Try something like this in your loop: global $post; // may or may not be necessary $url = get_post_meta( $post->ID, … Read more
