What I ended up doing was setting up an endpoint for food, like so: global $wp_rewrite; $wp_rewrite->add_endpoint( ‘food’, EP_PERMALINK | EP_PAGES ); $wp_rewrite->flush_rules(); function printview_query_vars($vars) { array_push($vars, ‘food’); return $vars; } add_filter(‘query_vars’,’printview_query_vars’); Then I’d get a url like http://mysite/pagename/food/fruits/shelves/ and the wp_query would contain something like food=>fruits/shelves, which then i can parse myself into a … Read more
