   I'm attempting to have my WordPress plugin create its own permalinks and after reading through this guide (http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Queries#Custom_Archives) I copied and pasted the code almost tit for tat:

   // Permalinks
   
   function geotag_queryvars( $qvars ){
   	$qvars[] = 'geostate';
   	return $qvars;
   }
   
   global $wp_query;
   if( isset( $wp_query->query_vars['geostate'] )) {
   	echo 'Permalinks seem to be working!';
   }
   
   function geotags_flush_rewrite_rules() {
   	global $wp_rewrite;
   	$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
   }
   
   function geotags_add_rewrite_rules( $wp_rewrite ) {
   	$new_rules = array(
   	'geostate/(.+)$' => 'index.php?geostate=' .
   	$wp_rewrite->preg_index(1) );
   
   	$wp_rewrite->rules = $new_rules + $wp_rewrite->rules;
   }
   
   add_action('generate_rewrite_rules', 'geotags_add_rewrite_rules');
   add_action('init', 'geotags_flush_rewrite_rules');
   add_filter('query_vars', 'geotag_queryvars' );
   
   if(isset($_GET['geostate'])){
   	echo 'GET var is set.';
   }
   
   // End Permalinks

   So what should happen is /geostate/test/ should be seen as the same as index.php?geostate=test and hence the if(isset($_GET['geostate'])){ part should echo 'GET var is set.'

   Similarly the if( isset( $wp_query->query_vars['geostate'] )) { part should activate and echo 'Permalinks seem to be working!'.

   When I browse to /geostate/test nothing happens and $_GET remains empty. I can't understand what I'm doing wrong or not doing, any ideas?

   Does anyone have any experience or know of any plugins which create permalinks? I tried an e-commerce plugin but I couldn't find in the code where the permalinks were set.
