Yes, you sure can manipulate the URL. From what you are describing it seems rather pointless, though. The simplest approach to do what you are asking, or seemingly getting at, is to use a switch case in the header.php If you really need control of the switch case you can feed it theme option data … Read more
I eventually used this plugin to download and cache all images locally, and replace all links to the local ones.
Showing links to attachments in the desired format Loop through the attachments and generate the link you want: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘numberposts’ => null, ‘post_status’ => null, ‘post_parent’ => $post->ID ); $attachments = get_posts($args); if ($attachments) { foreach ($attachments as $attachment) { echo ‘<a href=”‘ . get_permalink() . ‘video/’ . $attachment->ID . … 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…

Anything within this block, will be overwritten by … Read more
I agree with @robin and tend to use that search & replace tool (interconnectit) for more complex DB’s. For simple installs though, I like to use Peach, since it’s a slightly less involved process. I’ll often start off trying Peach, and then move to interconnectit’s tool if there are any issues with the transfer (I’ve … Read more
Not sure I exactly understand your problem, but it sounds like what you want to do could easily be accomplished using Custom post types: http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types#Custom_Types This would basically allow you to have an entire segment just for ‘learn’ completely separated from your general posts/blog – you could even give ‘learn’ it’s own styling by using … Read more
Add an endpoint to your post permalink, name it clean. In your callback for template_redirect use a special header.php or none at all. Do not forget to call exit;; otherwise WordPress will load the default template files later.
