View a listing of all your rewrite rules, see which rewrite rules match a given URL (and the priorities they match in), or filter by different sources of rewrite rules. Perform a soft flush of your rewrite rules to regenerate them. [Developed on GitHub](https://github.com/Automattic/Rewrite-Rules-Inspector/) — pull requests are always welcome. Please leave feedback, questions, bug reports, and feature requests in the GitHub issues. ### Where to find it Go to `Tools Rewrite Rules` in the WordPress admin. ### URL Tester Quickly test any URL (or path) against your site’s rewrite rules: * See whether the URL would be a **404** or which rule would match first (the one WordPress uses). * View the list of **all matching rules**, in match priority order. * Inspect the **query variables** extracted from the match and the resulting ** final query** WordPress would run. Works with full URLs or paths and automatically handles sites installed in a subdirectory. ### Permastructs Browse a table of all **permastructs** that WordPress is aware of, including: * **Name** — the permastruct key (e.g. for posts, taxonomies, authors). * **Structure** — the permalink structure pattern used to generate rules. * **Description** — a human-friendly summary of what the permastruct controls. ### Flush Rules The “Flush Rules” button allows you to regenerate your site’s rewrite rules. Here’s exactly what happens when you click it: #### What the Flush Rules Button Does When you click the “Flush Rules” button, the following sequence occurs: 1. **Security Check**: The system verifies you have the proper permissions (`manage_options` capability) and validates the security nonce to prevent unauthorized access. 2. **Cache Clearing**: WordPress deletes the cached rewrite rules from the options cache using `wp_cache_delete('rewrite_rules', 'options')`. 3. **Rule Regeneration**: WordPress calls `flush_rewrite_rules(false)` to regenerate all rewrite rules based on: 4. * Current permalink structure settings * Custom post types and taxonomies * Any custom rewrite rules added by themes or plugins 5. **Hook Execution**: The `rri_flush_rules` action hook is fired, allowing other plugins to perform additional cleanup or actions after the flush. 6. **Success Feedback**: You’re redirected back to the Rewrite Rules Inspector page with a success message confirming the rules have been flushed. #### When to Use Flush Rules Use the “Flush Rules” button when: * **Missing Rules**: You see rules marked as “missing” (red background) in the inspector * **Custom URLs Not Working**: Your custom permalinks or post type URLs aren’t working properly * **After Plugin Changes**: You’ve activated/deactivated plugins that register custom rewrite rules * **Permalink Structure Changes**: You’ve modified your site’s permalink structure * **Custom Post Type Issues**: New custom post types or taxonomies aren’t generating proper URLs #### Important Notes * **Soft Flush**: This performs a “soft” flush (using `flush_rewrite_rules(false)`), which is safer than a hard flush as it doesn’t force regeneration of all rules unnecessarily. * **Permissions Required**: Only users with `manage_options` capability can flush rules. * **No Data Loss**: Flushing rules doesn’t delete any content or settings, it only regenerates the URL routing rules. * **Immediate Effect**: Changes take effect immediately after flushing. ## Screenshot * [[ * See all of the rewrite rules and flush them or download them. * [[ * Test a URL against the rules to see which one(s) would match, and the priority they would match in. * [[ * Limit rules and URL testing results down to specificrule sources. * [[ * See which permastructs WordPress knows about. ## Installazione ### Install the plugin from within WordPress 1.

This plugin does in in a single click. Additionally it enables you to check your rewrite rules against your URLs to make sure everything is working as it should. This is one of my essential plugins. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b8cd1fa291982a482d60e9985bc5659ab7ea570a4aa55427f1f0cd92899e58ff? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Thank you!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thank-you-2756/)󠁿 [shamank](https://profiles.wordpress.org/shamank/) 16 Marzo 2021 Thank you man, you saved me a lot of time!! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/10af641b5ae0d58335058e8190ffb0c5fcb73128b58fb224dfe0cfe10808e218? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does the job with rewrite rules!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-the-job-with-rewrite-rules/)󠁿 [johnnyhuy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/johnnyhuy/) 27 Novembre 2018 Simple and straight forward to solve issues with rewrite rules. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ae0d29e1a30ddd9f97434ddd2d305821c67935c83dfcaf03ce826ca9774951f8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great tool!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-tool-832/)󠁿 [Steven](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stgoos/) 25 Marzo 2018 Love the plugin but noticed today, whilst debugging a new plugin I’m writting, that the plugin still uses the depreciated functions: screen_icon() and get_screen_icon(). Both have gone depreciated since 3.8.0 so I reckon a minor update to avoid these errors from popping up in the debug mode is worth the effort 🙂 The fix – with backwards compatibility (do we need that?) – would be to change: into: ___(!) Notice: screen_icon is deprecated since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available.(!) Notice: get_screen_icon is deprecated since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available.
