Grr, I think I found the issue, now I just have to figure out how to fix it.

I used what you wrote and it still didn’t work for me, so I just went about debugging line by line the whole call.

The query_vars do actually get added properly…until do_action(‘template_redirect’); gets called in template-loader.php. Then all the whole request gets rewritten and my added query_vars get lost.

Holy (something)! I had given up on getting replies and when I check this morning there is a novel ??

Let me review all this and give it a try. Thank you so much for all your help!

Let me ask this another way if that’s too big a blob of stuff to parse;

If I want to pass arbitrary parameters to a Page that has a template so the template PHP code can use them, given that I am using permalinks so using regular get parameters doesn’t work (I get 404 errors if I try to append parameters to a permalinked page such as https://blogurl/permalink/?param=value)…

what is the easiest way to do that?

Edit: Yes I have read blog posts and the APIs…I still need some help.

Okay. So I have the following code in my functions.php of my theme:
https://pastebin.com/6dVyTBiz

I also have the following templated page with the permalink of

https://blogurl/advertisers

In the template code (shortened for clarity) I have:
https://pastebin.com/46eNzQdC

Either everyone is as lost as me or the gurus are all at lunch I guess ??
