 * Hi,
    I’ve a little problem with a page template.
 * I have a simple page template named “mypage.php” used in a page named “hello”.
   Here is the code:
 * <?php
    get_header(); echo “HI “.$_GET[‘username’]; get_footer(); ?>
 * If i go to [http://www.mydomain.com/hello?username=Pennywise](http://www.mydomain.com/hello?username=Pennywise)
   i get:
 * “Hi Pennywise!”
 * The problem reguarding the modrewrite.
 * I’ve created a rule in my .htaccess like this:
 * RewriteRule ^hello/([^/]+)$ hellousername=$1
 * Then if I go to [http://www.mydomain.com/hello/pennywise](http://www.mydomain.com/hello/pennywise)
   I receive a 404 error instead of the page showed by [http://www.mydomain.com/hello?username=Pennywise](http://www.mydomain.com/hello?username=Pennywise)
 * Anyone can help me? 🙁

 * For one:
 * RewriteRule ^hello/([^/]+)$ hellousername=$1
 * needs to be
 * RewriteRule ^hello/([^/]+)$ username=$1
 * Second, you need to add:
 * RewriteEngine On
 * So the solution is:
 * RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^hello/([^/]+)$ username=$1

 * PS. How have you created a mypage.php file to load from WP? I wish to create 
   a homepage that shows latest news with a banner at the top. I edited index.php
   with a banner but it appears on everything. Also I tried adding php code to a
   WP Page post, but it just displays the php as text?
