php - wordpress passing parameter to custom template -

i using wordpress. have created page dealer-profile admin , assigned template it. want pass parameter like

site-url/dealer-profile/suv 

i have added following .htaccess

rewriterule ^dealer-profile/([a-za-z0-9_-]+)(|/)$ index.php?pagename=dealer-profile&dealer=$1 [qsa] 

i have tried following

add_rewrite_rule('dealer-profile/([^/]+)', 'index.php?pagename=dealer- profile&dealer=$matches[1]', 'top'); flush_rewrite_rules(false); 

when requesting site-url/dealer-profile/suv, automatically redirects site-url/dealer-profile

please suggest, wrong.

now doing following

function themeslug_query_vars( $qvars ) {   $qvars[] = 'dealer';   return $qvars; } add_filter( 'query_vars', 'themeslug_query_vars' , 10, 1 ); function add_rewrite_rules($arules) {     $anewrules = array('dealer-profile/([^/]+)/?$' => 'index.php?pagename=dealer-profile&dealer=$matches[1]');     $arules = $anewrules + $arules;     return $arules; } add_filter('rewrite_rules_array', 'add_rewrite_rules'); 

but working digits - test/dealer-profile/234234/ working - test/dealer-profile/234234/ not working

solution

ref : http://codex.wordpress.org/class_reference/wp_rewrite

add_filter( 'rewrite_rules_array','my_insert_rewrite_rules' ); add_filter( 'query_vars','my_insert_query_vars' ); add_action( 'wp_loaded','my_flush_rules' ); // flush_rules() if our rules not yet included function my_flush_rules(){     $rules = get_option( 'rewrite_rules' );      if ( ! isset( $rules['(dealer-profile)/(.*)$'] ) ) {         global $wp_rewrite;         $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();     } }  // adding new rule function my_insert_rewrite_rules( $rules ) {     $newrules = array();     $newrules['dealer-profile/(.*)$'] = 'index.php?pagename=dealer-profile&dealer=$matches[1]';     return $newrules + $rules; }  // adding id var wp recognizes function my_insert_query_vars( $vars ) {     array_push($vars, 'dealer');     return $vars; } 

thanks lot @@jnhghy - jantea alexandri

you need create function add query variables query string , hook function query_vars hook:

function add_query_vars($avars) { $avars[] = "dealer-profile"; // represents name of variable want pass }  // hook add_query_vars function query_vars add_filter('query_vars', 'add_query_vars'); 

then need add rewrite rule: function add_rewrite_rules($arules) {

function add_rewrite_rules($arules) { $anewrules = array('dealer-profile/([^/]+)/?$' => 'index.php?pagename=dealer-profile=$matches[1]'); $arules = $anewrules + $arules; return $arules; }  // hook add_rewrite_rules function rewrite_rules_array add_filter('rewrite_rules_array', 'add_rewrite_rules'); 

getting variable:

if(isset($wp_query->query_vars['dealer-profile'])) { $smsdscat = urldecode($wp_query->query_vars['dealer-profile']); } 

and should trick, , here link "advanced rules": http://www.rlmseo.com/blog/passing-get-query-string-parameters-in-wordpress-url/ http://www.prodeveloper.org/create-your-own-rewrite-rules-in-wordpress.html

edit: let try steps have in second article: first let's create tag , add rewrite rules (this should work alpha-numeric values:

function createrewriterules() {     global $wp_rewrite;      // add rewrite tokens     $dealertag = '%dealertag%';     $wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag($dealertag, '(.+?)', 'dealer-profile=');      $keywords_structure = $wp_rewrite->root . "dealer-profile/$dealertag/";     $keywords_rewrite = $wp_rewrite->generate_rewrite_rules($keywords_structure);      $wp_rewrite->rules = $keywords_rewrite + $wp_rewrite->rules;     return $wp_rewrite->rules; } add_action('generate_rewrite_rules', 'createrewriterules'); 

then hook generate rules this:

function add_rewrite_rules( $wp_rewrite )  {         add_rewrite_rule('^dealer-profile/([^/]*)/?','index.php?page_id=12&dealer-profile=$matches[1]','top'); } add_action('generate_rewrite_rules', 'add_rewrite_rules'); 

add variable query vars:

function query_vars($public_query_vars) {     $public_query_vars[] = "dealer-profile";     return $public_query_vars; add_filter('query_vars', 'query_vars'); 

bonus: debug rules can use function:

function dev4press_debug_rewrite_rules() {   global $wp_rewrite;   echo '<div>';   if (!empty($wp_rewrite->rules)) {     echo '<h5>rewrite rules</h5>';     echo '<table><thead><tr>';     echo '<td>rule</td><td>rewrite</td>';     echo '</tr></thead><tbody>';     foreach ($wp_rewrite->rules $name => $value) {       echo '<tr><td>'.$name.'</td><td>'.$value.'</td></tr>';     }     echo '</tbody></table>';   } else {     echo 'no rules defined.';   }   echo '</div>'; } 

it's https://docs.dev4press.com/tutorial/wordpress/debug-wordpress-rewrite-rules-matching/ , should show rules in table format, include in of templates , check if above functions adding rewrite rules correctly if not, should give info didn't worked.

and can use known developer plugin inspect rules, you'll info plugin!!!
