Multiple endpoints to same page

by

I’m doing a bit of AB testing, and am looking for a way to point multiple endpoints to the same page in wordpress. My site is using wordpress as it’s CMS tool.

http://mysite.com/test/link1
http://mysite.com/test/link2
http://mysite.com/test/link3

I want the above URL’s to point to the about page generated through wordpress

http://mysite.com/about

The specific use case is to track hits through google analytics. I’ve tried doing 301 redirects, but searching through referrers for your site doesn’t always work. Any idea’s?

Okay… here’s how you add the rule.

<?php
    add_action('init', 'add_my_rule');

    function add_my_rule()
    {
        add_rewrite_rule('^test\/link.*$','index.php?pagename=about','top');
    }
?>

This rule will ensure that when you visit a url like http://.../test/link or http://.../test/link<xyz>, you are redirected to the about page (please make sure the slug for about page is ‘about’). Also, http://.../test/, will take you the test page and not the about page.

Let me know if this works for you.
