 * Hello. I am using a realter’s company plug in called Wasi (the plugin is in github,
   not in wordpress). I am having trouble with the plugin because wordpress does
   automatic redirects. I further explain my problem below.
 * When I set up the plug in I am asked to create a blank page, which will be used
   by the plugin to display single for sale properties. Therefore, the the end user(
   web page visitor) can click on a link of any property on the property list and
   go to the single property page, where that property’s information is displayed.
 * I have set up “prop” page to be the one to display single properties. Therefore
   when the user clicks on a property, he is taken to [http://www.restrepoecheverri.com/prop/%propertyId%](http://www.restrepoecheverri.com/prop/%propertyId%)(
   lest say the property Id is 25531, so he would be taken to [http://www.restrepoecheverri.com/prop/25531](http://www.restrepoecheverri.com/prop/25531)).
   Anyhow, when the GET request is send to [http://www.restrepoecheverri.com/prop/25531](http://www.restrepoecheverri.com/prop/25531),
   the server responds with a 301 redirect to [http://www.restrepoecheverri.com/prop/](http://www.restrepoecheverri.com/prop/).
   I think that this is caused by a WordPress automatic redirect. Therefore, I am
   trying to disable that WordPress automatic redirect, so I am able to use my plug
   in.
 * I hope I have been clear enough and someone can help me with this.
 * Thanks!

 * If this is the plugin `https://github.com/wasico/wasi-connector` I suggest asking
   at [https://github.com/wasico/wasi-connector/issues](https://github.com/wasico/wasi-connector/issues)

 * [@sterndata](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) Right. No one seems
   to answer there. I know it seems like a plug in problem, but all I want to do
   is disable automatic redirects in WordPress. Do you know how to do that?

 * I think redirects are caused by redirect_canonical(). It has a filter where you
   can alter its behavior. I don’t think that’s the right approach though. I think
   you should add a custom rewrite rule so WP properly handles the ID element in
   the URL
    [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_rewrite_rule/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_rewrite_rule/)
 * You also need to whitelist whatever query var you assign the property ID to through
   the “query_vars” filter. Finally, alter how the request handler code gets the
   ID. I assume this is some sort of template code for the “prop” page and it parses
   the request in some manner. After being properly rewritten, the value will be
   a query var in the global `$wp_query` object. You can use its `get()` method 
   to get the query var value.
 * N.B. – while there are superficial similarities, redirect and rewrite are two
   very different concepts. Mainly, one causes a new request be made, the other 
   does not.
