This word is not used often. It can either used to express the relation of causing something (than it means whereby). Or it can be used as a question word asking for a desire.
Die Vorschrift, wonach es verboten ist, stammt aus dem Jahr 1920.
Wonach ist es dir heute? (In Abhängigkeit vom Kontext entweder: was möchtest du heute essen? Oder: wohin möchtest du heute Abend gehen?)
Thus you often may replace it with "was". But there are situations where you can't.
