You're right on that, but the solution is not to  give up on this method
(and even if what you are saying is correct that interface.php does not
exist, this may be helpful). Look into the rewrite rule flags.  Those are
the things that you see in brackets [] at the end of the rewrite rule lines
- but you don't have any.

See here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html

You probably just need to put a [L] at the end of your first rewrite rule.
That will tell it to stop processing there.  What you have right now, since
the camera-selector rule is first is functionally equivalent to a [N].
 

 

The line RewriteRule ^camera-selector/([0-9]*)$
wp-content/plugins/interface/interface.php? nm=$1 is supposed to take any
number behind camera-selector (which is a page I created in Wordpress that
uses a custom plugin) and load the interface.php plugin file with the nm
variable attached. 

The problem is that as soon as I go to the page
http://www.mysite.com/digitalcamera/camera-selector I only get a blank
window with no code in it.

 

Any ideas? Is it clashing with any of the following rules?

 

Thanks guys.

 

Stefan
