   My website is http://www.saealumni.com.au/ .

   At the moment you can view the "news" category via the URL: http://www.saealumni.com.au/?category=news

   I'm attempting to make it work so that you can use the URL: http://www.saealumni.com.au/category/news/

   I also need to be able to echo the value of the variable on the page itself, via something like:
   echo get_query_var('category');

   In my functions.php file, I have the following code:

   function directory_flush_rewrite()
   {
     global $wp_rewrite;
     $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
   }
   add_action('init', 'directory_flush_rewrite');
   
   function directory_vars($public_query_vars)
   {
       $public_query_vars[] = 'category';
       return $public_query_vars;
   }
   add_filter('query_vars', 'directory_vars');
   
   function my_rewrite_rules( $rewrite_rules ) {
       $new_rules = array( 'category/([^/]+)' => 'index.php?category=$matches[1]' );
       $rewrite_rules = $new_rules + $rewrite_rules;
       return $rewrite_rules;
   }
   add_filter('rewrite_rules_array', 'my_rewrite_rules');

   But it's doing nothing. echo get_query_var('category'); does not work, and the permalinks 'aint pretty.

   Have I missed something important? I've been sitting here all morning trying a million different variations on the same sort of code, but nothing seems to have any effect.

   Any ideas?

   Thanks in advance,
   Hadyn
