  Hi wordpresscommunity,

  I’am trying to add a custom URL rewrite to my wordpress-site. When %25% is in located in the url, I want to forward to index.php (dont ask me why ;)). The correct rewrite I stumbled across is:

  add_rewrite_rule(‘^(.)%25%(.)$’,’index.php’, ‘top’);

  I red that the url rewrite has to be added as a plugin. My plugin looks like this:

  <?php
  /**
  * Plugin Name: Custom url rewrite
  * Plugin URI: http://URI_Of_Page_Describing_Plugin_and_Updates
  * Description: custom url rewrite
  * Version: 1.0
  * Author: Henk
  * Author URI: http://URI_Of_The_Plugin_Author
  * License: GPL2
  */
  function init() {
  add_rewrite_rule(‘^(.)%25%(.)$’,’index.php’, ‘top’);}

  It doesn’t do anything after being activated! not even after flushing my url rewrites. What do I do wrong?

  Thanks!
