   Hi All,

   I have an extra feed of things that I want to offer along with posts and comments. The actual script that generates this feed is here:

   http://harrymetcalfe.com/wp-content/themes/hemingway/zeitgeist/feed.php

   That, however, is horrid. I want to have that feed appear at this URI:

   http://harrymetcalfe.com/zeitgeist/feed

   After a futile hour messing with .htaccess, I figured it would be better to use template_redirect, so I added the following:

   add_action('template_redirect', 'do_template_redirect');
   
   function do_template_redirect()
   {
      global $wp_query;
   
      if($wp_query->query_vars['pagename'] == 'zeitgeist' && $wp_query->query_vars['feed'] == 'feed')
      {
         include TEMPLATEPATH . "/zeitgeist/feed.php";
         exit;
      }
   }

   In Firefox, http://harrymetcalfe.com/zeitgeist/feed works as expected. It doesn't work anywhere else, however -- my feed reader, wget and Google Reader all get a 404 when they access that URI.

   Any clues?

   I just dealt with this myself.

   You need to do something with a filter.

   For example, I was working with http://www.lightafire.net to add related pages.

   The url of these is http://www.lightafire.net/related/achievement/

   but that /related url does not exist. I coded a function that handled it using template_redirect, but a 404 was being sent before getting to that function.

   What ended up working for me is a simple bit of code - not sure if this will help you or not, but I hope so.
   

   add_filter( 'query_vars', 'addRelated' );
   function addRelated( $qv )
   {
       $vars[] = 'related';
   }

   hope this helps!

   ok... here's what you need

   add_filter( 'query_vars', 'addRelated' );
   function addRelated( $qv )
   {
       $rq = trim ( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/' );
   
       if ( $rq == 'zeitgeist/feed' )
       {
           return;
       }
       return $vars;
   }

   This means you'll need to use this same if in your template_redirect handler.
