20688	Forward slash in custom taxonomy rewrite causes 404s because of (unnecessary?) attachment rule	harikaram		"I implement a custom taxonomy with a rewrite that is designed to create urls like:

""/apps/about/sometag""

{{{
        $name = 'apps';
        register_taxonomy($name.'-tag', $name.'-post', array(
            'label' => ucfirst($name) . ' Tags',
            'public' => true,
            'has_archive' => true,
            'hierarchical' => false,
            'update_count_callback' => '_update_post_term_count',
            'rewrite' => array('slug' => ""$name/about"", with_front=>true)
        ));
}}}

However I was getting a 404 (yes I was flushing the rules) unless I changed the '/' to say a '-'.  Upon inspection of the rules, I found this one whose precedence was causing the problem:

{{{
'apps/[^/]+/([^/]+)/?$' => 'index.php?attachment=$matches[1]'
}}}

Upon removing it inside the ""rewrite_rules_array"" hook, the problem was solved.

It seems odd to me that this generic rule exists and rewrites to an attachment of all things..."	defect (bug)	new	normal	Awaiting Review	Rewrite Rules	3.3.2	normal			scribu
