Thanks markjaquith! As soon as I changed the variable name everything started working as expected. To finish my example from above for anyone else having issues, the working address looks like this:
http://mysite.com/photography/?set=234234234
I’m having a similar issue, but haven’t found a solution yet. I’ve created a WordPress Page called ‘Photography’ that uses a template file I have written. The template file (php) brings in one my flickr set based on the get value. e.g. photography.php?s=456487984654. But because the Page address is http://mysite.com/photography there is no .php file to amend it to. If I try directly sending it to photography.php I get defaulted to my WP search results page with no results.
Anyone figured out to use the GET method with Pages?
Thank you everyone who contributed to this post. I had been agonizing over this (same problem with white screen) for the last few weeks, and pvalente‘s fix worked perfectly for me.
Cheers,
