Adding custom rewrite rules to WordPress

问题:

My WordPress site has a portfolio that is at www.mysite.com/portfolio/. The portfolio sections and items are administered through a custom plugin I created. I want to access the individual items like www.mysite.com/portfolio/my-cool-photo and have that put "my-cool-photo" into a query string like ?portfolio_item=my-cool-photo so I can read it from my code.

In the plugins activation PHP file I have this code:

function add_rewrite_rules($wp_rewrite) {
    $new_rules = array(
        'portfolio/(.+)/?$' => 'index.php?&portfolio_item=$1'
    );

    $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[] = "portfolio_item";

    return $public_query_vars;
}
add_filter('query_vars', 'query_vars');

This adds the rewrite rule to the array OK. The problem is it's not doing anything. When I go to www.mysite.com/portfolio/testing/ I get the "This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?" WordPress 404 error page. Obviously the redirect isn't working, so the query string won't be filled, but just to make sure I did this:

global $wp_query, $wp_rewrite;
if ($wp_rewrite->using_permalinks()) {
    $searchKey = $wp_query->query_vars['portfolio_item'];
} else {
    $searchKey = $_GET['portfolio_item'];
}

...and sure enough the query string isn't getting passed.

Is there something I'm missing?

After you update the WordPress rewrite rules, you need to flush them:

You can choose to flush with the $hard parameter true, and then you should be able to see your rewrite rules in the .htaccess file.

Here is the example rewriting url code. Hopefully this will help users.

In this url like http://www.domainname.com/test-page?urltags=ABCD is run as http://www.domainname.com/test-page/ABCD

<?php
function add_my_rule() {    
    global $wp; 
    $wp->add_query_var('tags');
    add_rewrite_rule('test-page/([^/]*)','index.php?pagename=test-page&urltags=$matches[1]','top');
}
function add_my_tags() {
    add_rewrite_tag('%urltags%', '([^&]+)');
}
add_action('init', 'add_my_rule');
add_action('init', 'add_my_tags', 10, 0);
?>
