 * I’ve got an issue i can’t wrap my head around. I am using wp_rewrite to set up
   some custom rewrite rules. I’m using the following rule
 * $newrules[‘^mybasetag/([-A-Za-z0-9])$’] = ‘index.php?pagename=$matches[1]&kw=
   $matches[2]’;
 * It seems to be mostly working fine. i can go to [http://mysite.com/mybasetag/123](http://mysite.com/mybasetag/123)
   and everything works fine. If i switch the 123 at the end of the url to anything
   non-numeric the page fails. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong? Can anyone help?

 * I’ve figured out that it a 1 character limit after mybasetag. So i can put a 
   letter after mybasetag but only 1, if i put 2 it throws a 404. Any help?
