| Mar 2, 2017 at 4:27 | comment | added | Milo | Here's an example of an approach that short-circuits the query parsing phase and doesn't produce a query that's just doomed to fail. | |
| Mar 1, 2017 at 19:27 | comment | added | Ahrengot | That's just not always an option. For instance, if I want to provide a "My profile" frontend page for my users where they can update basic information about themselves. There's no post associated with such a page, but I still need a URL for it. In any case, I figured out a solution and posted my answer below. | |

Rewrite rules have to result in a successful main query. If my_custom_url is not the slug of an actual page, you will get a 404. If some_id is a valid post ID, then set the correct native query vars with that ID so the query succeeds.
