GET arguments

    I have created a couple of custom functions in my functions.php to process a GET argument and pass it to a page

    add_filter( ‘query_vars’, ‘addnew_query_vars’, 10, 1 );
    function addnew_query_vars($vars)
    {
    $vars[] = ‘account’;
    return $vars;
    }
    add_action(‘init’, ‘custom_rewrite_basic’);
    function custom_rewrite_basic()
    {
    add_rewrite_rule(
    ‘^staff/([^/]+)([/]?)(.*)’,
    ‘index.php?pagename=staff&account=$matches[1]’,
    ‘top’
    );
    }

    Within the page template I get the ‘account’ variable with

    $account = get_query_var( ‘account’ )

    However it stops working when I activate the Permalink Manager plugin. My guess is that the rewrite rules are overwritten by the plugin.

    Is there a way to process GET variables within the Permalink Manager plugin ?

    Thank you very much for any advice,
    Paolo

    Hi Paolo,

    could you send me a sample link where the query var is used? I will try to prepare a custom snippet to make it working.

    Best Regards,
    Maciej

    This is the main page:

    https://test.lambrate.inaf.it/test/

    and this is the URL that does not work (it redirects on the main page)

    https://test.lambrate.inaf.it/test/paolo.franzetti

    The “explicit” URL works fine;

    https://test.lambrate.inaf.it/index.php?pagename=test&account=paolo.franzetti

    Below I attached the “test” page source.

    This is the new site of my institute and it is password protected. I have created a temporary account for you;

    Username: test
    Password: ioNChi

    Thank you very much,
    Paolo

    Hi Paolo,

    could you try to disable “Canonical redirect” in Permalink Manager settings?

    Disabled, but still not working.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Paolo,

    please add this code to your snippet:

    function pm_stop_redirect($request) {
	if(!empty($request['account'])) {
		$request['do_not_redirect'] = 1;
	}

	return $request;
}
add_filter('request', 'pm_stop_redirect', 999);

    Best regards,
    Maciej

    I added the code in my “functions.php” (is this the right place?) but the direct URL still does not work.

    Hi Paolo,

    do you possibly have any staging website where I can test it? If so, please send me the credentials to my email: contact /at/ maciejbis.net.

    Trying to setup a staging website for you, I realized that your solution actually works if I use the “real” page. I am not sure why… perhaps the “test” slug is some kind of reserved name…

    Anyway it works!

    Thank you again very much,
    Paolo

    It helped my problem! Thanks!

    function pm_stop_redirect($request) {
	if(!empty($request['account'])) {
		$request['do_not_redirect'] = 1;
	}

	return $request;
}
add_filter('request', 'pm_stop_redirect', 999);
