Custom permalink in WP

Question

How to archive the URL rewrite from example.com/?special=25 to example.com/special/25 .

Answer 1

Check out the WordPress WP Rewrite class . The examples towards the bottom look like they'd get what you are trying to achieve. Sadly not used this before so can't provide an example.

Answer 2

Without any more context to the question, it's a little difficult to say; however, based on the URL scheme that you've provided, 'special' appears to be a category, custom post type, or some other taxonomy .

If that's the case, then you can use a custom permalink setting set to: /%postname%/ and that would take care of it.
