WordPress rewrite mechanism works in a different way, not like .htaccess rewrite rules. More information about it you can find in codex (Rewrite API, WP_Rewrite, etc.). But fast work around could be the following: First of all we need to register our query var and rewrite rule: function myplugin_add_query_var( $vars ) { $vars[] = ‘myplugin_api’; … Read more
You have to use a redirect not just a rewrite: ^dashboard(.*) wp-admin$1 [L,R=301] WordPress is using a hard coded search for wp-admin in the request URI.
You could filter ‘term_link’. just an untested idea, written directly into the answer field add_filter( ‘term_link’, ‘wpse_55476_categore_ur_filter’, 10, 3 ); function wpse_55476_categore_ur_filter( $termlink, $term, $taxonomy ) { if ( ‘category’ !== $taxonomy ) { return $termlink; } // separate the URL $parts = explode( “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”, $termlink ); // get the term $term_slug = array_pop( $parts … Read more
From what I recall, if a page is a child of another page, the pagename value is the full parent / child path. In your examples it would be pagename=questions/ask and pagename=questions/ed, though you say the first rule works, which is puzzling. also, side note – there’s a locate_template function that will correctly handle parent … Read more
Do you actually need the URL? Such URLs are needed only if you want the search to be indexed. Example: Check this. (That ‘a’ in the url comes from the search form in this page and the homepage) The ideal way for parsing a form is to use the init action hook instead of setting … Read more
Yes, while convenient, let’s rule out the variable of using the $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] trick and put in the absolute URLs. Here are some handy snippets I use when moving a site (you may want to use these to make sure everything is the same on your install): UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, ‘http://www.olddomain.com’,’http://www.newdomain.com’); UPDATE wp_posts … Read more
Could using the register_post_type parameters fit your needs? There’s an option “slug” that will do so if has_archive is set to true…

However, since you’re rewriting the URL, those URL parameters don’t technically exist (I could be wrong about this – I’m not at a … Read more
Are you using a virtual host whose document root is different from the global document root set in httpd.conf? If so, you’ll want to specify Directory rules for that other location to include AllowOverride.

The event post type should be hierarchical and should have a sub-page called “speakers” which should use a custom template that displays all the “speaker” post types assigned to that event (see the Posts 2 Posts plugin). Then you can create other sub-pages … Read more
