A simple admin tool for inspecting rewrite rules.

Description

A simple WordPress admin tool for inspecting rewrite rules. View a listing of all your rewrite rules, see which rewrite rules match a given URL (and the priorites they match in), or filter by different sources of rewrite rules. Perform a soft flush of your rewrite rules to regenerate them.

Originally developed for clients hosted at WordPress VIP, we thought it would be useful for development environments, etc. too. Feel free to fork the plugin in GitHub — pull requests are always welcome. Hit us with feedback, questions, bug reports, and feature requests in the GitHub issues.
