 * Hi All,
 * How can I rewrite a permalink in wordpress
    I want to use user login name in 
   wordpress url.
 * domain-name/page-name/uname/user_login i.e
 * domain-name/page-name/variable-name/value-of variable
 * or
 * domain-name/page-name/user_login i.e
 * domain-name/page-name/any-value
 * In place of
 * domain-name/page-name/?variable-name=value-of-variable
 * Can anyone help me out?

 * User login? Don’t you need BuddyPress for this?

 * In general, to alter the way WP interprets requested permalinks, use the [Rewrite API](http://codex.wordpress.org/Rewrite_API).
 * To alter how permalinks are displayed on a page you can alter the page template
   or filter `the_permalink()` function using ‘post_link’

 * Thanks for the quick reply but I have to do it in WordPress not in Buddypress
 * I have also created a plugin for that which is mentioned in this link

 * but it doesn’t work for me it simply show the value of the variable passed in
   the permalink and I’ve to use it as a variable for further use in a template
