CNAME vs A Record for WWW – with 301 Redirects
Figured it out. Put that before WordPress rewrite. <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L] </IfModule>
.htaccess
301 Redirect To Post ID
When you are importing via code (which is practical necessity for large imports) you can supply import_id argument to wp_insert_post() to be used. There is however no clean/safe way (that I can think of) to specify or modify post IDs manually. In your case (if you are really stuck with manually created posts) I would … Read more
WordPress multisite in subdirectory, not root, and remove base folder from url
Install WordPress in its own directory. Follow the instructions on the link provided. You would need to install two WP files in the root directory – index.php and .htaccess. Those may or may not interfer with your existing web site.

WordPress overrides custom 404 page with it’s own
When a URL is processed by WordPress, its index.php script is loaded with the path to the requested page. Because in this case the index.php script is always found, a normal 404 error will never trigger (via ErrorDocument 404 …). If the requested URL does not match a page that WP knows about, WP will … Read more
How to protect htaccess so it can’t be overwritten?
Fixed this by changing permission on .htaccess to 444 from CPanel’s file manager. For some reason my FTP client – even though logged in as the same CPanel user – could not make the change and the file would always revert back to 644. Cpanel had no such problem at all.
.htaccess password protect all but one page
Put this in your .htaccess file after your password protection on the entire site: <Files “page.php”> Allow from all Satisfy any
Permalinks: Page Not Found
Do you have mod_rewrite enabled? This sort of thing tends to happen when it’s not. At which point, you only have access to ugly permalinks (?p=N) or “almost pretty” permalinks (/index.php/slug). The latter uses pathinfo to get you the page you’re requesting instead. So I’d suggest double checking whether mod_rewrite is installed and enabled. If … Read more
.htaccess ‘down for maitenance’ and WordPress
How do we add a second IP address that is allowed to see the site in development? We can just append just second REMOTE_ADDR like this since the default flag is [AND] # BEGIN Maintenance <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^11\.111\.111\.11$ #First Address RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^123\.45\.67\.89$ #Second Address RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/maintenance\.html$ RewriteRule … Read more
