WP2.7 Not Respecting Custom Rewrite Rule

[GamerZ]

In WP2.7 Beta 1, apparently the custom rewrite rule is not respected.

I have added in a custom rewrite rule to WP_Rewrite. This rewrite rule is exactly the same as in WordPress 2.6 and it is at the top of the "rules" array.

[([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{1,2})/([0-9]{1,2})/([^/]+)/email/?$] => index.php?year=$matches[1]&monthnum=$matches[2]&day=$matches[3]&name=$matches[4]&email=1

When I go to ​http://yoursite.com/wordpress/2008/10/11/asdsadasd/email/, it will redirect me to ​http://yoursite.com/wordpress/2008/10/11/asdsadasd/ for no reason.

"email" is already been added to the public_query_vars

add_filter('query_vars', 'email_variables');
function email_variables($public_query_vars) {
        $public_query_vars[] = 'email';
        return $public_query_vars;
}

I have also placed a template redirect to take care if email=1

add_action('template_redirect', 'wp_email');
function wp_email() {
        if(intval(get_query_var('email')) == 1) {
                include(WP_PLUGIN_DIR.'/wp-email/email-standalone.php');
                exit;
        }
}

In WP2.6, the exact same code works fine, but I have no idea why in WP2.7, it does not work.

Probably a stupid question, but you flushed the rewrite rules, correct?

[GamerZ]

Yeap, I did flushed. I digged more into the problem and it seems that in WP2.7 the canonical redirect is more strict than WP2.6.

The redirect is caused by the canonical redirect. If I comment off the canonical redirect in canonical.php, it works fine.

add_action('template_redirect', 'redirect_canonical');

My wild guess would be that the canonical redirect come first before the rewrite rules. Correct me if I am not wrong.

[GamerZ]

I fixed it by moving my template redirect before redirect_canonical redirect.

Just a FYI.
