   I'm trying to get $_Get style variable on my permalinks of just one page. It's the live events page.

   So I want links like "http://strawsmusic.loc/live/?event=1330232400" but they just get converted to "http://strawsmusic.loc/live/".

   I followed these steps in the codex, but they don't seem to work?
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Queries#Custom_Archives

   I should mention that I am running wordpress in MAMP. I tried it with Twenty Eleven to see if it was my theme, but I guess not...

   Here is the code I added to functions.php
   

   add_filter('query_vars', 'event_queryvars');
   function event_queryvars($qvars) {
     $qvars[] = 'event';
     return $qvars;
   }

   And in the relevant template file:
   

   global $wp_query;
   if (isset($wp_query->query_vars['event'])) {
   	$event = esc_attr($wp_query->query_vars['event']);
   }

   Edit: With a bit more testing, I have discovered that the variable is picked up at the root web address so: http://strawsmusic.loc/?event=1330232400 works (kinda).

   But this isn't useful for me. I want it linked to the "/live/" page...

   So when i add the code to my events.php template,
   

   global $wp_query;
   if (isset($wp_query->query_vars['event'])) {
   	$event = esc_attr($wp_query->query_vars['event']);
   	echo $event;
   }

   So it doesn't work to use "/live/?event=1330232400"

   Moving to "Plugins and Hacks." This is a question about canonical redirects, query variables, and such, not about 3.3 beta or RC.

   You can close it if you like,

   While I'd still like an answer, I found an alternative using Div IDs, JavaScript and adding # with event id to the url.

   its not ideal as the client has to be served more information then needed (which would otherwise be handled and shortened by the server...
