I’ve written a WordPress plugin that adds a query string to the URL. However I can’t seem to modify the htaccess to rewrite this. Not sure if WordPress is overriding it?

The current htaccess is:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

And the URL I’m trying to rewrite is:

http://domain.com/deal-info/?id=87&post_name=testdealtitle

Desired URL:

http://domain.com/deal-info/87/testdealtitle

I’ve tried adding:

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /deal-info/?id=$1&post_name=$2 [L]

to no avail. Any ideas appreciated!

    After much confusion I found an answer here:
    https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/5413/need-help-with-add-rewrite-rule

    Though I think the proper way to do it is by:
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Rewrite_API/add_rewrite_rule

    I’m not sure if you can do this directly in htaccess, or I was having a conflict problem with another plugin I was using.

    Thanks again to Olivier for his extensive answer!
