add_rewrite_endpoint() only supports static endpoint names like trackback and recipes, so if you need a dynamic endpoint name/slug, then you would want to use add_rewrite_rule() instead. And just so that you know, even if add_rewrite_endpoint() did support dynamic names/slugs, your code would not work because your function runs too early (via the init hook) and … Read more
Do you just need to redirect that one specific request (for /wp-content/uploads/2010/12/history.pdf to /about/history.pdf)? Or do you need to to handle many requests (say, for /wp-content/uploads/2010/12/* to /about/*)? If it’s the former, use a symbolic link (or, if you’re not on Unix/Linux/BSD, whatever equivalent your OS offers). If it’s the latter, use mod_rewrite (or, if … Read more
If your permalink structure is /%postname%/ with a trailing slash, you need to pass the hash like this: /faqs/#b with the trailing slash.
it’s curious that redirect_canonical doesn’t work in this case, but this will redirect everything with .html via .htaccess: RewriteRule (.+)\.html?$ http://example.com/$1/ [R=301,L] but keep in mind this will redirect everything with .html, you may need to explicitly exclude things.
You don’t need custom rewrites for that, you can simply use the permalinks settings to achieve those results. Click the Custom Structure option and enter: /blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html
A rewrite enables http://example.com/post-title/ to translate internally to the proper query vars to load the requested post. The shortlink does a 301 redirect to the pretty URL because it should not be possible to access the same content from more than one URI. This is so a search engine won’t index the same post under … 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.
You can get close to what you want by using the template_redirect hook. function my_custom_search_url_rewrite() { if ( is_search() && ! empty( $_GET[‘s’] ) ) { wp_redirect( home_url( “/search/” ) . urlencode( get_query_var( ‘s’ ) ) ); exit(); } } add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘my_custom_search_url_rewrite’ ); Then you can use a URL like http://domain.com/search/category+location/. If you then … Read more
It’s not really rewriting the URL in the conventional sense, URL parsing happens entirely within PHP. You can access the query vars in the global $wp_query->query_vars, or with the get_query_var function. Also note that parse_request is the earliest action where this info will be available.
You’d be better off adding or modifying the rewrite variable that’s being passed to your register_taxonomy() call for the custom taxonomy. You can modify the rewrites to suit your purpose. For example: $taxonomy_args = array( // All the variables and their values… ‘rewrite’ => array( ‘slug’ => ‘services/home-care’, ), // …more variables and values… ); … Read more
