Setup Permanent 301 Redirects after moving to Https [closed]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^xxxz.com.qa [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.xxxz.com.qa [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.xxxz.com.qa/$1 [L,R=301,NC] This will result in a redirect loop as it will repeatedly redirect https://www.xxxz.com.qa/<url> to https://www.xxxz.com.qa/<url> again and again… If you want to redirect from HTTP then you need to check that the request was for HTTP before redirecting to HTTPS. For example: RewriteCond … Read more

HTAccess stops me from accessing WordPress Dashboard links

I’ve had this issue on a small number of sites (out of around 60 that I help manage), and I’m wondering if the issue is caused by caching (by a plugin or theme). If you have a caching plugin, or a theme that does caching, there should be a tool in the Dashboard for emptying/clearing/deleting … Read more

Why specific file directory fails to redirect but its parent folder succeeds?

After trying a million of ways, I contacted the super admin and asked for permission to log into WP Engine, our host. I found there is a Multisite setting too. So I clicked “convert to multisite”, and, bang! the error is resolved. Subsites can work properly now.

htaccess and wordpress config files are regularly over written

If this is happening on a regular basis, your security plugins appear to be failing. Below are several steps you can take to prevent this: Start by using a really good security plugin like Wordfence Security. I haven’t had a successful hacking incident since I started using this. If that fails, or you just want … Read more

Error “Call to a member function switch_to_locale() on null” during insert_with_markers

From your comment: Those htaccess changes don’t happen as a result of an add_action. Perhaps they should? Yes, they should. And here’s why insert_with_markers() calls switch_to_locale() which uses $GLOBALS[‘wp_locale_switcher’] (or $wp_locale_switcher) which is initialized in wp-settings.php, but only after WordPress runs the setup_theme hook. And looking at the error in question and line #1582 in … Read more

Blocking access to wp-login via htaccess not working

As long as a plugin is blocking excess login attempts, then I am not sure that additional protection is needed. The plugin should be protecting against the attempts at credential guessing. There will always be login attempts on sites, even if they aren’t WP sites. You could look at your access logs (filtering by a … Read more

Add query string to url and display it as normal url part /folder/

There are a few points to share because I could foresee that the comment will be very long and I post some suggestion here for reference and hopefully could fix it up. 1st point about the rewrite $newrules[‘/(\d*)$’] = ‘index.php?city=$matches[1]’; I guess you expect to use a url like https://example.com/new_york/ to the path so city … Read more

Remove special characters in a URL

http://www.example.com/ar/shop-listing/health-beauty~@/#$&&&%%$%3Cscript%3E/ In this particular URL, everything after the # (hash) is the fragment identifier and is not sent to the server by the browser, so cannot be blocked server-side in .htaccess. The server only sees: /ar/shop-listing/health-beauty~@/ If the # was to be removed from this URL then this would be a wholly invalid URL (because … Read more

Redirect main domain to subdirectory

From the two .htaccess files you posted I can’t see how your site is working at all?! If you request example.com/ (the document root) then the second rule in the root .htaccess file rewrites the request directly to /subdirectory/index.html (not index.php). If /subdirectory/index.html exists then the (non-WordPress) file is served, otherwise see #2 If you … Read more

Redirect “any page/page/number/” to “any page”

I’d like to redirect in ht.access To clarify, it’s .htaccess, not ht.access. You can do something like the following at the top of the .htaccess file, before the existing WordPress directvies: RewriteRule (.*/)page/\d+/?$ /$1 [R=302,L] The above issues a 302 (temporary) redirect for any URL of the form /<something>/page/<number>/ (trailing slash optional) to /<something>/. The … Read more
