    You can’t use the name of a custom template in your permalinks.

    Its not a permalink

    And it does work, just not in some instances. So I am trying to figure out why it doesn’t work in them.

    If this isn’t the way to do this then a pointer to the correct method would be helpful

    But WordPress is going to try and treat it as a permalink – which could lead to problems.

    Have you tried examining the query_var in that template to see if there’s anything you can grab with regard to the referring URL? Or simply using $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']?

    Well yes and no. You shouldn’t confuse the Permalinks concept in WP and that actualization of it via rewrite rules. People have been using that sort of URL structure for years before WP used it as its permalinks

    You’re right that this is going to cause an issue because there are a number of rewrite rules in WP. And that appears to be the solution.

    I’ve added a rewrite fliter and it works and I now just need to add support for paging.
