.htaccess
Install a Network under a mapped domain
This is possible, and it actually should be very easy for you to do. There are lots of ways that you could have this setup, depending on if your server is using cPanel, Plesk, etc. At its most basic, right now, your Apache virtual host points to your main web directory, maybe something like /var/www/, … Read more
Worried I have a funky .htaccess for WP site in light of strange search engine behavior
WordPress responds to requests to a robots.txt with dynamic content if such a file does not exist. That’s one way how the settings from wp-admin/options-privacy.php are used. I recommend to create a static robots.txt, just to make sure no plugin is getting in your way. Sample robots.txt User-agent: * Disallow: /cgi-bin Disallow: /wp-admin Disallow: /wp-includes … Read more
Changes to .htaccess not updating the file (old rules still take effect)
Did you check the Apache capability for it? If Not yet, open the httpd.conf of your Apache directory and remove the ‘#’ that’s prepended to the line ‘LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so’ plus change the term ‘AllowOverride None’ to ‘AllowOverride All’. That did the trick for me after a many hours of searching…
Which is better: 301 Redirect in my .htaccess file or a plugin like Redirection?
The .htaccess catches requests before WordPress is even started. That’s much faster than any plugin. For a handful of redirects I wouldn’t install a plugin. You need that only in cases when the server cannot know the new address, for example if you rename permalinks (slugs) automatically (you shouldn’t ;)).
deny IPs from wp-login using .htaccess
I think you’ve got it backwards. Try order allow,deny deny from x.x.x.x allow from all That should block all URLs from that IP. And Limit Login Attempts http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/limit-login-attempts/ can be set to not email you with each lockout. Set the lockout timeouts to 9999 hours, too, which is the maximum setting. If things still don’t … Read more
What’s the opposite of required valid user in .htaccess authentication
Ok guys, I did further research. Basically, all I had to do was add “Satisfy Any” argument. So the main .htaccess file looked like the one I posted in my initial thread. Then for the specific folder, I created a new .htaccess file (/folder/.htaccess). Then added this: <Files wp-login.php> Satisfy Any </Files> Much thanks to … Read more
Custom post types archive redirect
The link to the archive page is saved into WordPress rewrite rules. These rules are used to locate several locations on the front end of your WordPress system. When you change the slug of a Custom Post Type, the normal pages will redirect directly to the new location, but the archive page won’t, this because … Read more
Can’t Access Subdirectory
Comment out the following by adding hash tags before it #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/images/ #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/images #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*images(.*) and see if that helps.
forward domain name to particular page?
First off — does your server allow overrides in .htaccess files? If not, you need to get that turned on. My server has AllowOverride All set in its config file, which then allows my .htaccess rules to function. Does alias.com point to the same directory as actual.com? If not, then you need to put a … Read more
