We'll create fresh WordPress site with Rewrite Rule Testing installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
This plugin provides a simple interface for testing your custom rewrite rules.
The purpose of this plugin is to be able to test your own rewrite rules, so
you’re probably most interested in knowing how to do that, right? The plugin
provides a filter, rewrite_testing_tests
to add your own tests. That filter
passes an associative array of name => tests. The tests array is an associative
array of URI => expected match. In the outer array, the “name” is arbitrary and
for your own reference. In the inner array, the “URI” is the path you want to
test, and the “expected match” is what WordPress should find as a rewrite
match.
Enough chit-chat, here’s an example:
function my_rewrite_tests( $tests ) {
return array(
'Events' => array(
'/event/super-bowl/' => 'index.php?event=$matches[1]',
'/event/super-bowl/page/2/' => 'index.php?event=$matches[1]&paged=$matches[2]'
)
);
}
add_filter( 'rewrite_testing_tests', 'my_rewrite_tests' );
You can see the test_cases()
method for a full suite of tests for the “Day
and Name” permalink structure. It’s not necessary to leave these in (in fact,
the above demo would wipe them out), unless you want to make sure that your
custom rewrites aren’t affecting core rewrites. If you aren’t using “Day and
Name” permalinks, you’ll need to adjust the tests to fit your permalink
structure.
