[wp-hackers] Rewrite Rules

[Bill Erickson]

I actually did something very similar to that on a recent project. I
was linking Posts to Pages using the Posts2Posts plugin. The client
then wanted to be able to drill down to specific categories, so I
created a custom rewrite endpoint. Going to
yoursite.com/pagename/articles/category-1 showed posts that were
linked to the current page and also in category 1.

Here's some additional resources that helped me:
