My current link is this:
http://www.norwegianfashion.no/designers/?designer=Batlak-og-Selvig&bid=9
What I want is this
http://www.norwegianfashion.no/designers/Batlak-og-Selvig/
I'm trying to use add_rewrite_rule() to achieve this.
I found this site that wxplains it pretty good: http://www.prodeveloper.org/create-your-own-rewrite-rules-in-wordpress.html
But it's not working :(
function add_rewrite_rules( $wp_rewrite )
{
$new_rules = array(
'('.$template_page_name.')/designers/(.*?)/?([0-9]{1,})/?$' => 'designers.php?designer='.
$wp_rewrite->preg_index(1).'&bid='.
$wp_rewrite->preg_index(2)
);
// Always add your rules to the top, to make sure your rules have priority
$wp_rewrite->rules = $new_rules + $wp_rewrite->rules;
}
add_action('generate_rewrite_rules', 'add_rewrite_rules');
function query_vars($public_query_vars) {
$public_query_vars[] = "designer";
$public_query_vars[] = "bid";
return $public_query_vars;
}
add_filter('query_vars', 'query_vars')
What am I doing wrong?
Before you do any of this Bacup your WordPress files and Database
Just add the following code to the .htaccess file in the root of the wordpress install.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^designers/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /designers/?designer=$1&bid=$2 [L]
then your page should be something like
http://www.norwegianfashion.no/designers/Batlak-og-Selvig/9

Why do I have to backup files and DB?
The URL is still the same when I'm testing on my local pc.
I'm using .com and point the DNS to localhost.
i ask you to backup because anything can go wrong.
try it on the live site and see what it looks like,
just this time go to
http://www.norwegianfashion.com/designers/Batlak-og-Selvig/9
@spstieng - If the .htaccess changes don't work, you can try the instructions in http://www.htmlcenter.com/blog/wordpress-creating-custom-permalinks-for-plug-ins/ to see if those help.
