I simply changed it to this, and it works! add_action( ‘init’, ‘addMyRules’ ); function addMyRules(){ add_rewrite_rule(‘^people/([^/]*)/?’,’index.php?author_name=$matches[1]’,’top’); add_rewrite_tag(‘%author_name%’,'([^&]+)’); flush_rewrite_rules(); }

The easiest solution to this is to hook your add calls on to the last action which gets fired before the rules are rebuilt during the flush process. The first part of the flushing process is to delete the rewrite_rules option. When this happening the following actions will fire: do_action( ‘delete_option’, $option ); do_action( “delete_option_$option”, … Read more
