I've got a pluggin that works fine as long as I don't use any permalink option other than default.
The problem is related to WordPresss removing the trailing portion of the requested URL.
It works fine under the default setting using a URL such as http://www.advertisite.us/?page_id=3/2584/3/
that has 3 (3/2584/3/) or more slash separated values.
I was fortunate to have found a plugin (custom permalinks) that lets me retain the beginning part of the link structure (?page_id=3)
even after changing the entire site over to a different permalink structure. Now, after changing the permalink option to numeric,
the "About" page now has the url http://www.advertisite.us/about but the plugin page is still http://www.advertisite.us/?page_id=3/
The problem ---- WP will trim everything after the 3
So where /what is causing this?
I go to the new htaccess (created when permalink numeric activated) and change the
rewrite target to another page in root like this and nothing at all happens? It seems WP creates an htaccess that doesn't do anything?
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /feedback.php/$1 [L]//changed from index.php
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
All I need is WordPress to handle the link http://www.advertisite.us/?page_id=3/2584/3/ Is that so hard? I've been working 3 days on this issue,
have not gotten one response from numerous posts on this issue.
It seems to me that WordPress is doing some internal rewriting (apart from the htaccess).
I've tried to get that premise answered here in this forum to no avail. Are the moderators not able to answer it?
But if the premise is correct, it seems totally opposite of the purpose of having plugins. If I have to get into
the internal workings of the WordPress code in order to get it to do something as basic as handle that url then something is wrong
