The way htaccess rewrite works (wp uses this), this drives the very first match on the list to load the targeted rewrite of URL. So answer to your question is YES, keep longer/elaborated rules at top, followed by less longer structures; alternatively you can write conditions (rewrite cond ) to match rules per blockwise.
It looks as though you are accidentally including -meaning inside your second match string. Instead of this: ^words/([^/]+)(?:/([0-9]+)-meaning)?/?$ … try this: ^words/([^/]+)(?:/([0-9]+))-meaning?/?$ And don’t forget to flush your permalinks after a change to the rules!
I’d say either change the order, put (2) before (1), or be more specific with the rules. E.g. from/([a-zA-Z]*)/?
You need to either go into Settings -> Permalinks and click Save Or if you’re doing this programmatically you need to use flush_rewrite_rules(), but make sure this is only used when you activate/deactivate the plugin, DON’T set this in code that runs (like in init, or on every page load): https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/flush_rewrite_rules/ register_deactivation_hook( __FILE__, ‘flush_rewrite_rules’ ); … Read more
I am new to WordPress rewrites, so after some StackExchange reading i have figured it out. All rewrites should be passed to index.php, then i can call the page that i want to redirect to, like this: function custom_rewrite_basic() { add_rewrite_rule( ‘validate_data.php’, ‘index.php?pagename=validate-data’, ‘top’ ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘custom_rewrite_basic’ ); In addition i wanted to … Read more
Hope this will work out for as it did for me. add_filter(‘rewrite_rules_array’, ‘insert_custom_rules’); add_filter(‘query_vars’, ‘insert_custom_vars’); function insert_custom_vars($vars){ $vars[] = ‘main_page’; return $vars; } function insert_custom_rules($rules) { $newrules = array(); $newrules=array( ‘page-name/(.+)/?’ => ‘index.php?pagename=page-name&main_page=$matches[1]’ ); return $newrules + $rules; } So, with the help of get_query_var() function, we can get value from url and use accordingly. … Read more
The problem is in your rewrite rules function, it should be function num_rewrite_rule(){ add_rewrite_rule( ‘test/([0-9]+)/?$’, ‘index.php?pagename=test&num=$matches[1]’, ‘top’ ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘num_rewrite_rule’ ); Reference add_rewrite_rule NOTE: Always remember to flush your permalinks by visiting **Settings – Permalinks **
I figured it out. I put these rewrite rules in .htaccess: RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([^/]*)&n=([^/]*)$ RewriteRule ^show/?$ /show\/%1\/%2\/? [R=301,L]
Theme’s functions.php is not the best place to do these sort of URL rewrites. Why?: because in that case WordPress will be fully loaded and then redirected to a new link and then fully loaded again to show the page. That’s a lot of delay for a page view. Instead of that, you may use … Read more
Ok managed to figure this out, instead of adding action for a rewrite. Because what I was wanting to rewrite was a taxonomy i should have been using something like this : ‘rewrite’ => array(‘slug’ => ‘listings/make’, ‘product_make_model’ => false) When registering the taxonomy, which basically rewrites the slug as the taxomomy is created/registered. Works … Read more
