Actually there is no communication happening between Apache and WordPress. The “magic” is happening in Apache mod_rewrite rules. For a standard WordPress installation, you have the following rules in .htaccess: # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # … Read more
You can do that easily. You just need to specify a redirection parameter. If you are using a login link on the homepage to go to the login page, then @sisir’s solution is correct. <?php echo wp_login_url( $_SERVER[“HTTP_HOST”] . $_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”] ); ?> If you are using a custom form on the frontpage, then inside the … Read more

Does WP keep track of a posts url history, providing rewrites/redirects for former urls? Yes it does.

You should be able to disable it with: remove_filter(‘template_redirect’, ‘redirect_canonical’); But you should really think about whether you want to do that as it is fairly complicated and performs some important SEO functions: Redirects incoming links to the proper URL based on the site url. … Read more
In WordPress, URLs don’t map to routes. They map to database queries. When using WordPress in the “default” permalinks mode, you have a set of variables in the main URL query, like ?p=1 or ?page=234 and so forth. There’s also ?s=search and many others. If you use the “pretty” permalinks, then a big set of … Read more
You can just look at url, load the file and exit. That can be done when WordPress loaded its environment, e.g. on ‘init’. add_action(‘init’, function() { $url_path = trim(parse_url(add_query_arg(array()), PHP_URL_PATH), “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”); if ( $url_path === ‘retail’ ) { // load the file if exists $load = locate_template(‘template-retail.php’, true); if ($load) { exit(); // just exit … Read more
This worked for me: remove_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘redirect_canonical’);
I was also looking for a solution for this and I found simple one. This is what you need to place into the URL field: /index.php/internal-site-name It works just fine! Best Regards Chris
As per @SinisterBeard‘s very valid comment to the question already a couple of years back now, this answer has long been outdated and the mentioned function(s) hence been replaced by a newer API: See wp_unique_post_slug. Original Answer Off the bat, I can’t give you a page/tutorial/documentation on how WP slugs are generated, but take a … Read more
