Great thanks! This worked for me.

Did you figure this out? It will be very helpful if you explain how you did it. I have a similar setup that translate /statelist to index.php?page_id=1137&input1=statelist in my .htaccess file. I then have dynamic code in my template page.php that generates the content.

How do I get rid of the original permalink for page_id=1137?

Thanks

Yes, but it’s not a nice solution. I didn’t have time to figure out how the permalink functions work. Or I couldn’t figure it out after a week of late nights. I just needed this for one page ID. I changed it in wp-includes/canonical.php. I added one line to ignore the function for my page ID. A better way is to use a custom field if you have multiple pages you want this for:

if ( $do_redirect ) {
		//CHR this line will exclude permalink translation for a single page
                  //Use it to call a page with dynamic page generation code
	    if ( get_query_var('page_id') == "1137" ) return false;
		// CHR end modification for 31 directory

		// protect against chained redirects
		if ( !redirect_canonical($redirect_url, false) ) {
			wp_redirect($redirect_url, 301);
			exit();
		} else {
			// Debug
			// die("1: $redirect_url<br />2: " . redirect_canonical( $redirect_url, false ) );
			return false;
		}
	} else {
		return $redirect_url;
	}

Remember to make a backup copy after the change. The next WordPress upgrade will overwrite this.
