I have since been looking at the rewrite for WordPress and also to use in my own custom built sites for search engine friendly URL’s. Again I found very little on the web, but currently have a working model. The rewrite script passes the URL into a variable ‘q’. So to get it out again I simply passed ‘q’ into an array with the following PHP:

When I have more time, I intend to have a deeper look at WordPress and how they do things. But for now, here is the rewrite code:

    Handy script for those Zeus users like myself. However, I’m baffled at how I need to adapt the script for use with two installations.

    I have two WordPress installations on sultanas-nights.com, one on the root, and one on /tr. I achieved SEO permalinks successfully for the root domain.

    However, I need to adapt the script to support all addresses that are under the subdirectory “/tr/” as well as the root. Currently it doesn’t fully work (ie the site isn’t loaded fully with all CSS and only text is displayed), as you’ll be able to log on and see…

    Any ideas?

    Hi Alp,

    Interesting question and I have sent you an email with a draft rewrite file, which is adapted with an IF statement to run two rules based on whether it matches the sub folder. Let me you how you get on and once working, I’ll post it on here.

      Hi Munish, do you have a URL to your test area? The script is designed for sub-FOLDERS really, but might only be a small tweak to the code to get working

    The script is not loading the images and css for wordpress multi-site sub domains how to solve.
