 * Hi,
 * got a question about filtering url rewrite rules.
 * I’m implementing a music-oriented website on WordPress, and got posts in the 
   following categories:
    * Concerts * Venues * Blog
 * I want different rewrite rules for each category, eg:
    * /concerts * /concerts/
   2007/12/09/concert+post+title * /venues * /venues/venue+post+title * /blog * /
   blog/2007/12/09/blog+post+title
 * Note that no date is displayed for venue posts.
 * Any help on how to implement this in WordPress is highly appreciated.
 * These pages contains some information on implementing custom rewrite rules, but
   I can’t find the exact information I’m looking for:

 * So far I tried the following, without getting what I want:
 *     ```
       add_filter('rewrite_rules_array', 'my_rewrite');
       function my_rewrite($rewrite) {
       	global $wp_rewrite;
   
          	$category_rules = array(
               	'concerts/' => 'category/concerts/',
               	'venues/' => 'category/venues/'
           	);
   
       	$concert_post_structure = $wp_rewrite->root . "concerts/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/";
       	$venue_post_structure   = $wp_rewrite->root . "venues/%postname%/";
   
       	return ( $rewrite
       		+ $category_rules
       		+ $wp_rewrite->generate_rewrite_rules($concert_post_structure)
       		+ $wp_rewrite->generate_rewrite_rules($venue_post_structure)
       	);
       }
       ```
