  • this is not working as expected, using the above rule giving me only the user-id not writer name, that means for www.myblog.com/writer/001/umesh-awasthi the rule above giving me only 001 and not the writer-name Commented Jan 20, 2012 at 16:44
  • It is working as I said in my answer. If you have the user ID you don't need the username. If you want both then you can add another queryvar (like arg_username) and add it to the rewriterule: add_rewrite_rule('writer/([0-9]+)/([^/]*)','index.php?pagename=writer&args=$matches[1]&arg_username=$matches[2]','top'); (also change it in the other reriterule) Commented Jan 20, 2012 at 16:48

    may be doing some wrong due to lack of knowledge but add_rewrite_rule('writer/([0-9]+)/([^/]*)','index.php?pagename=writer&args=$matches[1]','top'); add_rewrite_rule('writer/([0-9]+)/([^/]*)','index.php?pagename=writer&args=$matches[1]&arg_username=$matches[2]','top'); add_rewrite_rule('writer/([0-9]+)/([^/]*)/page/([0-9]+)','index.php?pagename=writer&args=$matches[1]&arg_username=$matches[2]&paged=$matches[3]','top'); rule still not giving me author name.

    My bad, check updated answer (rewriterule for paged had to be on top). Commented Jan 20, 2012 at 17:31
