   Hello

   In frontend, I want let users to see extra data for posts in a different page.

   I want to access this new page as follow:

   if the URL of a post is: <domain site>/postname
   the URL to see the extra data is: <domain site>/postname/specialdata

   I already has a plugin with a page that receive the post name and return that extra data.

   My doubt is how is recommended to associate the URL <domain site>/postname/specialdata with the plugin php page that show the extra post data.

   Any comment is appreciated.
   Thanks
   Leticia

   Hi

   Here is how I solve my problem:

   // Creating rewrite rules and query variables
   add_filter('query_vars', 'handle_query_vars');
   add_filter('rewrite_rules_array', 'handle_rewrite_rules_array');
   // Flush the rewrite rules
   add_action('init', 'handle_flush_rewrite');
   // Add filter to show template
   add_filter('home_template', 'handle_home_template');
   
   function handle_rewrite_rules_array($rules) {
       $newrules['.*/images$'] = 'index.php?showimages=1';
   
       $newrules = array_merge($newrules,$rules);
       return $newrules;
   }
   
   function handle_query_vars ( $vars ) {
       $vars[] = "showimages";
       return $vars;
   }
   
   // Function to change the home template
   function handle_home_template($template_dir) {
       if (get_query_var("showimages"))
   	'dir_to_page/custom_page.php';
       else
   	return $template_dir;
   }
   
   function handle_flush_rewrite() {
       global $wp_rewrite;
       $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
   }

   Regards
