I have been tearing my hair out on this. Is there anyone that can offer assistance? PLEASE?

I’m still scouring code and support forums looking for a solution. Between the two of us, we might just come up with something!

Hmm… can’t edit my own post to add this, so I thought I’d point out some interesting links. I still haven’t found a solution, but these have shed some light:

Adding rewrite rules and $wp_rewrite->flush_rules():

"This is a bug in the way we store rewrite_rules in "transients"
instead of options like we used to. I think our fix for WP 2.9 is
going to be to revert to the old method.

Correct usage of add_rewrite in plugin:

"Second, the problem is that add_rewrite_rule needs to come before
you flush the rules. I know it seems unintuitive, but what happens
when you flush the rules is that they're immediately regenerated,
at which point WordPress says, "hmm, what rewrite rules do I need
to include?"

No, unfortunately I have not been able to solve it. I did dig into the code a little bit, and from what I can figure out, the key is in the:

$wp_rewrite->flush_rules()

It is supposed to write out the changes to .htaccess if the first arg is NOT set to false.

What is displaying incorrectly / differently across browsers?

I just checked your site in Firefox 3.5.3 and Safari 4.0.3 in OS X Snow Leopard and they look the same from what I can tell.

Regardless, it will almost certainly not be a WordPress problem per se, but a cross-browser CSS issue.

Testing… is this thing on? ??

I wonder if I should take the rewrite functionality out of the theme and build it ito an acompanying plugin? I’d prefer to keep it all in the theme though…

Developers of free plugins still have some responsibility to either pull their “crap” down off the web, or take one minute to tune in to the compatibility as new versions of WP are developed. It’s a common courtesy, rather than wasting people’s time. Let me go learn .php and I’ll get back to you (give me a break).

While I agree that many plugins lack the polish that could make them dead simple to use, there are a couple of things to consider; 1) You get what you pay for, and 2) The FYI on this particular plugin is listed as Compatible up to: 2.6.2. It’s compatibility in 2.7.x is not guaranteed.
