Wordpress add_rewrite_rule to redirect page incorrectly

Question

I am trying to add custom rules using the wordpress add_rewrite_rule function, but they do not work. It is strange that rules are added and matched against my URL whenever I check them using the Monkeyman Rewrite Analyzer plugin.

When I try to access a page, it redirects to the wrong location.

Here is my code:

add_rewrite_tag('%cc%','([a-zA-Z]+)'); add_rewrite_tag('%id%','([0-9]+)'); add_rewrite_rule('job-details/([0-9]+)$', 'index.php?pagename=jobs&cc=show&id=$matches[1]', 'top'); global $wp_rewrite; $wp_rewrite->flush_rules(); 

As for my URLs, if I try to access the site.com/job-details/1 URL, it redirects me to / jobs /, which is the page associated with my plugin.

Here is my .htaccess file

 RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] # uploaded files RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^ - [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] 

Answer 1

It turned out that my script used a user-defined function to capture GET parameters through the $ _REQUEST object, which was nullified by wordpress.

Instead, I used the following code to capture it.

 global $wp_query; $wp_query->query_vars['cc'];
