Rewrite rule and display of post

    I’m trying to create a permalink for single posts that are in a particular category called ‘Test’. So I’ve set the stub with a filter which in turn sets the permalink when the post is saved. At the moment I have it hardcoded to ‘test/post1’. Stub and permalink set just fine. I then have a rewrite rule which writes ‘test/post1/’ to ‘index.php?pagename=test/post1’ (again hardcoded just to test).

    It looks like it’s sort of working but wordpress only shows me the index with no posts (404) – so I’m seeing the all posts page rather than the single post page. Anyone know what might be wrong?

    add_filter( 'wp_unique_post_slug', 'filter_wp_unique_post_slug', 10, 4 ); 
add_filter('rewrite_rules_array','wp_insertMyRewriteRules');
add_filter('init','flushRules'); 

function filter_wp_unique_post_slug( $slug, $post )
{
    // Get the categories for the post
    $category = get_the_category($post->ID); 
    if (  !empty($category) && $category[0]->cat_name == "Test" )
    {
    	$slug = 'test/post1';
    }
    return $slug; 
};

// Adding a new rule
function wp_insertMyRewriteRules($rules)
{
    $newrules = array();
    $newrules['(.*)/(.*)/$'] = 'index.php?pagename=test/post1';
    return $newrules + $rules;
}

// Remember to flush_rules() when adding rules
function flushRules(){
    global $wp_rewrite;
    $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}

    This worked:

    add_filter( 'post_link', 'custom_permalink', 10, 3 ); 
add_filter('rewrite_rules_array','wp_insertMyRewriteRules');
add_filter('init','flushRules'); 

function custom_permalink( $permalink, $post, $leavename ) {
  $category = get_the_category($post->ID); 
  if (  !empty($category) && $category[0]->cat_name == "Test" )
  {
      $permalink = trailingslashit( home_url('test/' . $post->post_name ) );
  }
  return $permalink;
}

function flushRules(){
  global $wp_rewrite;
  $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}

function wp_insertMyRewriteRules($rules)
{
  $newrules = array();
  $newrules['^test/(.*)$'] = 'index.php?name=$matches[1]';
  return $newrules + $rules;
}
