meebleHello,
I am trying to modify my WordPress .htaccess file and customize the mod_rewrite directives to allow for more complex URLs and passing variables to PHP while maintaining WordPress "pretty permalink" functionality.
Something like this:
http://mydomain.com/hello-world
(would work like WP does by default with pretty permalinks enabled)
http://mydomain.com/varA/hello-world
(would trick WP into displaying the same "hello-world" post as above, but also would pass the "varA" string to PHP as a variable)
http://mydomain.com/varA/varB/hello-world
(would again trick WP into displaying the same "hello-world" post as above, but also would pass the "varA" and "varB" strings to PHP as variables)
to further clarify, the mod_rewrite code would be outputting something like this:
index.php?varA=$1&varB=$2
in which case I could easily grab those variables in php using:
$a = $_GET['varA'];
$b = $_GET['varB'];
Lastly, the new mod_rewrite directives would still need to handle WordPress categories and tags which come in the form of:
http://mydomain.com/category/category1
http://mydomain,com/tag/sometag
BTW, the default WordPress mod_rewrite directives in my .htaccess file are:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
Thanks,
Devin
