If you haven’t already, you’ll need to add the query variable as a public query variable otherwise using get_query_var() won’t work properly. /** * Adds the query var to public vars, making it accessible. */ add_filter(‘query_vars’, ‘query_vars’); function query_vars($public_query_vars) { $public_query_vars[] = ‘custom_route’; return $public_query_vars; } … Read more
