    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
