[wp-hackers] Rewrite rules after unknown url structure

[William Satterwhite]

Ah I see. I've done something similar, but I was actually querying for a
custom post type, but the requested URL utilized the existing page URL
structure. And FWIW I was using a custom query_var as well.

This being the live example that I'm referring to:
http://michiganfireworks.com/by-date/2013-11-01/

The ISO date is the custom query var, but the by-date portion is using your
normal page URL structure.

I agree with John; look in to endpoints.
