WordPress also has a rewriting mechanism, it’s better to use that instead of doing it in the .htaccess file. You can add your own rewrite rules to it. In your case we want to store the cat1 part in a separate query variable, so we also need to tell WordPress to allow this query variable … Read more
The easiest solution to this is to hook your add calls on to the last action which gets fired before the rules are rebuilt during the flush process. The first part of the flushing process is to delete the rewrite_rules option. When this happening the following actions will fire: do_action( ‘delete_option’, $option ); do_action( “delete_option_$option”, … Read more
At what stage are you registering your post type? If it’s going right in the admin I’m thinking that you might be registering your post type too late. It has to be done on init to work… Also, removing the ‘pages’=>false might just fix it.

You need to make the WP site url and home url differ in Settings / General. The home url should be example.com, while the site url (where WP lives) should be example.com/wp (or wherever you put it). You can hardcode these in your config file: define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://example.com’); define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://example.com/wp’); WP should know how to take … Read more
For a page, change p=97 to page_id=97 or pagename=albums. p is for the post post type. I also suggest changing your query var to something more unique.
