Extensions for Testing
These extensions are helpful for testing during development of your rewrites. Once you have completed development and everything is rewriting as desired these extensions can be removed.
Monkeyman Rewrite Analyzer
Monkeyman Rewrite Analyzer allows you to enter your proposed URL and it will highlight the related rewrite rule that will be used. Note: As of this writing, the plugin hasn’t been updated in a while, but it still works like a charm.
Rewrite Rules Inspector
Rewrite Rules Inspector shows you all of your current rewrite rules and lets your easily “Flush Rules” to pick up any of your new changes as you edit them in your code. Note: Rewrite rules are cached and only updated when a flush rules command is run.
