   I have a page called 'artworks'

   http://domain.com/artworks/

   Now I want to pass it a parameter, with nice permalinks and it will change accordingly. So what I have done now is alter the .htaccess by putting in an extra IfModule above the wordpress rules.

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /test/wordpress/
   # RewriteRule artworks/([^/.]+)$ artworks/$1/ [R]
   # RewriteRule artworks/([^/.]+)/?$ artworks/?a=$1 [L]
   </IfModule>

   However, that doesn't work, as the result is

   http://domain.com/artworks/somestring/

   Which is what I want, but wordpress interprets that as a subpage and gives me a 404. Which surprises me because I thought it would interpret ?a=somestring.

   Also, if the result is

   http://domain.com/artworks/somenumber/

   I can actually get the data via $_GET['a'], which gives me a number. But again, I don't really want to have some random number in the URL.

   Does anyone have a workaround for this? Would be most helpful, thanks. I don't really want to do this

   http://domain.com/artworks/?a=somestring

   As it doesn't fit in with the rest of the permalinks in the site.

   Thanks again
   Daz

   I am also having this problem. I need to send data from one page to the next and using $_GET would be most helpful if it worked...

   Looks like nobody needs that functionality.

   Here's a finding about posts, not pages:
