From my experience with W3 Total Cache this error is triggered when the plugin cannot write to the .htaccess file. It also suggests chmod 777 to the file and has a button that says “try-again” that you can click after changing the permissions to .htaccess. I would suggest chmod 777 to .htaccess, click try again, … Read more
Use this before any mod_rewrite directives: RedirectMatch Permanent ^/art/(\d+).html /?p=$1
Try this. This format works for me. You don’t have to keep repeating IfModule, RewriteEngine, RewriteBase. # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /blog/ RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !^.*(FeedBurner|FeedValidator) [NC] RewriteRule ^feed/?.*$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/mysite [L,NC,R=302] RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L] RewriteRule ^download/([^/]+)$ http://www.mysite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=$1 [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress … Read more
If you remove your Redirect from the .htaccess file, you could try adding a custom 404.php template file to your theme. I’m not sure exactly what you are asking. Do you want the page to Redirect, or do you want a custom 404 page that displays similar items? To achieve the show similar posts using … Read more
I just did this on a client site. I set up my rules like this: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)fsdegrees.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.56degrees.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L] The first rule checks the incoming domain and verifies that it is the old domain. The second sends a 301 redirect and visitors are sent to the corresponding page on … Read more
Use in your .htaccess: Options -Indexes … to disable directory listings. See the Apache manual for details. To restrict the access just to two URLs you might use: RedirectMatch 204 ^/wp-content/$ RedirectMatch 204 ^/wp-content/dir/$ 204 is the No Content response. Very fast. 🙂
The apache rewrite flags like QSA are hard coded, see source. Not sure why it would bother you, but if you really want to change it, then you can and should use the mod_rewrite_rules hook for that. Below an example on how to do it: add_filter( ‘mod_rewrite_rules’, ‘wpse107528_change_mod_rewrite_rules’ ); function wpse107528_change_mod_rewrite_rules( $rules ) { $pattern … Read more
You ran into a feature of WordPress known as Canonical Redirect. The idea is that each page on your website will only have one URL. But since it is possible to get to a page with a different URL, it will force a redirect to the “true” URL. The reason for this is to prevent … Read more
Placing the htaccess file in the wp-admin directory did not work for me so I went a different route and it seems to be working very well. Below is what I have in my main htaccess file: <files wp-login.php> # set up rule order order deny,allow # default deny deny from all allow from x.x.x.x … Read more
The solution is to put the rewriterule just after RewriteEngine On. <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^definicje(.*)$ http://example.com/single-page/ [R=301,L] RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
