You need to create query_var for sector and you need to create a rewrite rule with RegEX. I created a plugin for this. Create a file and add into the wp-content/plugins folder and activate it. <?php /* Plugin Name: Custom Rewrite Plugin URI: https://serkanalgur.com.tr Description: Custom Rewrite Version: 1 Author: Serkan Algur Author URI: https://www.serkanalgur.com.tr … Read more
How do you add your rewrite rule? If you are adding it manually (opening the .htaccess and adding the lines by yourself in php) then you are also supposed to remove it manually. As you suggested the best way would then be to use regex. If the rewrite rule was added through the WordPress API … Read more
Add your rules on the init action and just flush on activation, when some other code flushes them they will still be present.
I believe the rewrite rule your wanting to alter is this category/(.+?)/?$ index.php?category_name=$matches[1] category to do what you want it should just be a case of adding the following rewrite rule in your functions.php add_rewrite_rule(‘(.+?)/?$’, ‘index.php?category_name=$matches[1]’, ‘top’); this should work but might conflict with other rules so that will be worth checking.

The rewrite rules are correct, but because you are modifying the $wp_rewrite directly, you aren’t getting the benefit of being able to add the rule to the top of the stack using add_rewrite_rules. You are on the right track with the location of the rule in the array, but rules at the top are checked … Read more
The solution was to modify my regex slightly in my add_rewrite_rule. The rule was ^/mining-civil-engineering/news-events/feed/ and now reads ^/mining-civil-engineering/news-events/(feed|rss2)/?$
Found the solution. The rewrites were getting added to the db after the system was reading them from the db. Moved the code and it worked!

From the Codex: This hook is called after the query variable object is created, but before the actual query is run. The pre_get_posts action gives developers access to the $query object by reference (any changes you make to $query are … Read more
