Hello, I am trying to use mod_rewrite and modify WordPress' URL handling to allow for passing variables to PHP from the URL while maintaining "pretty permalink" functionality. (on WP 3.2.1) Something like this: http:/epiclasers.com/hello-world (normal with permalinks set to /%postname%) http:/epiclasers.com/state/hello-world (WP should display the same hello-world post as above, but also would pass the state string to PHP as a variable) http:/epiclasers.com/state/city/hello-world (WP should display the hello-world post, but would pass the state and city strings to PHP as variables) I added the following mod_rewrite code to my .htaccess file: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(\w+)/(\w+)/ /index.php?st=$1&city=$2 [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(\w+)/ /index.php?st=$1 [L] which kind of works. The variables are being passed, and PHP can grab them with: $state = $_GET['st'];<br> $city = $_GET['city']; The problem is that WP is getting confused by the URL and isn't finding the post. URL's like these: http:/epiclasers.com/state/city/hello-world http:/epiclasers.com/state/ are bringing up a page not found error. Also, when entering this URL: http:/epiclasers.com/state/hello-world It redirects to: http:/epiclasers.com/hello-world which then displays the post fine. How do I modify the WP URL handling code to ignore the /state and /city parts of the URL without also breaking URLs like: http:/epiclasers.com/category/category1 http:/epiclasers.com/tag/tag1 http:/epiclasers.com/category/category2/subcategory etc. Thanks, Devin
