Title: Monkeyman Rewrite Analyzer Author: Jan Fabry Published: مې 12, 2011 Last modified: مې 12, 2011 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/monkeyman-rewrite-analyzer.svg) # Monkeyman Rewrite Analyzer By [Jan Fabry](https://profiles.wordpress.org/janfabry/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/monkeyman-rewrite-analyzer.1.0.zip) * [Details](https://ps.wordpress.org/plugins/monkeyman-rewrite-analyzer/#description) * [Reviews](https://ps.wordpress.org/plugins/monkeyman-rewrite-analyzer/#reviews) * [Installation](https://ps.wordpress.org/plugins/monkeyman-rewrite-analyzer/#installation) * [Development](https://ps.wordpress.org/plugins/monkeyman-rewrite-analyzer/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/monkeyman-rewrite-analyzer/) ## Description This is a tool to understand your rewrite rules (“Pretty Permalinks”). It is indispensable if you are adding or modifying rules and want to understand how they work (or why they don’t work). It is only an analyzer, it does not change any rules for you. It parses the rules down to their components and shows the connection with the resulting query variables. It allows you to try out different URLs to see which rules will match and what the value of the different query variables will be (see screenshots). This plugin was written as a tool to help answering questions about rewrite rules on [the WordPress Stack Exchange](http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/). ## Screenshots * [[ * Display all rewrite rules and highlight captured URL parts and ignored query variables * [[ * Test URLs and see matching rules with the resulting query variables ## Installation Install via the normal way: either by uploading the unzipped file to your plugin directory, or directly via the plugin installer. An extra item will be added to the “Tools” menu, visible if you are an administrator. ## FAQ My new rules aren’t displayed! Did you flush the rules? You can do this in your code, or by visiting the “Permalinks” settings page. Can you help me with my rewrite rules? Maybe. I’m active on [the WordPress Stack Exchange](http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/), where you can find many intelligent and friendly WordPress experts willing to answer your questions. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/023298dd9b2c5abb0b6be9fcbe4b4f6ffc7f38bce99163dcccd6b3a8f4cc216e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple but very helpful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-but-very-helpful-4/)󠁿 [ciceronepavaloi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ciceronepavaloi/) نوومبر 22, 2023 Thanks, it helped me clarify what I was doing wrong. 🙂 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/517396ebb87343b435649d7cc5c5de532c1545dda100256aae65c7865d022f6a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good plugins !](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugins-70/)󠁿 [M.Code](https://profiles.wordpress.org/devloper00/) جنوري 17, 2022 This plugin is really useful for specific needs.

Confirming it works on 5.4.2 with blocks enabled also! I needed it to help make sense of some complex rewrites critical to our AWS load balancer distribution, this plugin was integral in my troubleshooting. It also helped me identify ways to simplify and get rid of superfluous rules being added from all over (manual rules, Redirection, other plugins etc). I’d like to see the owner update this so more people will know it’s safe to use. Or if it’s abandoned, someone take it over! This is a great developer resource that’s probably being overlooked. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/58e238b75a6774b467fb3adfed638e5e3d6321964b8f847ecf36f8c72241c1e0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works also with WP 5.3.2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-also-with-wp-5-3-2/)󠁿 [mumbomedia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mumbomedia/) جنوري 17, 2020 Very easy to use. Although supposedly not tested under 5.3.2, it works flawlessly under it. A must-have for any WordPress developer ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0900837eaf83a6e5cd7a95df9c7a8d6f0615a2eb47164b3cb28ee6dd2eeb06a7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works Great](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-5864/)󠁿 [Kane G](https://profiles.wordpress.org/second2none/) مې 30, 2019 Helped me sort some issues with the rewrite rules when developing a plugin. Works fine with WordPress 5.2 and does what you need it too. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e3700a672ba627836e00a584711ac3e804cc65a5b4c83fae270b678b5a5af741? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[STILL working after all these years](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-working-after-all-these-years/)󠁿 [Natacha](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chickwithbob/) فبروري 4, 2019 Confirmed to still work 8 years later in 2019! – WordPress 5.04 A super handy little tool to test the custom permalinks mess that can be created when adding custom rewrite rules. Really handy if you are generating dynamic (virtual) pages and URLs on the fly!
