Wordpress nginx rewrite

I am trying to do following rewrite rule on my wordpress page. I have a page www.mydomain.com/videa and I want to configure it in the way, when someone types www.mydomain.com/videa/some-string it will be rewrited (not redirected) to www.mydomain.com/videa/?v=some-string but the user will still see his URL www.mydomain.com/videa/some-string.

We are running Nginx server, i tried following rule rewrite "^/videa/(.+)$" "/videa/?v=$1"; but it keeps saying page not found.

Thank you for your help in advance.

I believe in this case you are trying to add extra variables to an existing WordPress page, so something like this should work:

function custom_rewrite_basic() {
  add_rewrite_rule('^videa/(.+)/?', 'index.php?v=$matches[1]', 'top');
}
add_action('init', 'custom_rewrite_basic');

You can put that into your themes functions.php or create a plugin it. You'll need to flush you rewrite rules by re-saving permalinks in the WordPress admin interface.

Try "re-saving" the Permalinks settings from the dashboard after you do the change (/wp-admin/options-permalink.php). Sometimes it fixes the issue.
