I am new to WordPress and for some reason I can’t seem to get this to work.
1. I got the plugin installed…
2. Where does the $wp-query go in my wp template page – before the loop in the loop…
3. Can I send a variable and what is the syntax

$mysidebar = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘sbg_selected_sidebar’, true);

would the below be the correct syntax to append and do I add this to the end of my permalink in the permalink section?

?myvar=$mysidebar

where would I put the if (isset($_GET['myvar'])) i.e. can I put it in another template page and grab the url variable?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to pass more parameters just add them to the qvars array

add_filter(‘query_vars’, ‘parameter_queryvars’ );
function parameter_queryvars( $qvars )
{
$qvars[] = ‘myfirstvar’;
$qvars[] = ‘mysecondvar’;
return $qvars;
}

In step 2 they will end up in

$wp_query->query_vars['myfirstvar']
$wp_query->query_vars['mysecondvar']

Oops! I see now that you can just append your new variable to the end of a permalink and WordPress accepts it. Awesome! Thanks!
