WordPress Permalinks still not working despite all necessary settings

Since the domain/site has an ssl, the vhosts file for the ssl is separate and also needs to be updated. Not just the normal port 80 entry. vhost (:80) my-wp-site.com.conf <VirtualHost *:80> … DocumentRoot /home/ubuntu/sites/my-wp-site.com … <Directory /home/ubuntu/sites/my-wp-site.com> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> … </VirtualHost> vhost (:443) my-wp-site.com-le-ssl.conf <IfModule mod_ssl.c> <VirtualHost … Read more

Adding rewrite rules directly to .htaccess file

As it says in the file: The directives (lines) between “BEGIN WordPress” and “END WordPress” are dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters. Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten. Put your code before #BEGIN WordPress or after # END WordPress. However, in the [L] flag means LAST, … Read more

Override htacces rule only for specific directory

To effectively disable that condition for that one URL-path, you will need to add another rule immediately before the rule in question. ie. before the # Abuse Agent Blocking comment. For example: # Allow an empty User-Agent for requests that start “/wp-content/uploads/xmls” RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$ RewriteRule ^wp-content/uploads/xmls – [S=1] # Abuse Agent Blocking RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} … Read more

How can i redirect one url to another url using .htaccess or add_rewrite_rule

I’m honestly struggling to comprehend this failure state – I believe I’ve reproduced the issue locally, and in my testing the RewriteRule directive hits but then WordPress processes the original input, resulting in a fairly catch-all attachment rewrite producing a query for a non-existent attachment. I may continue playing with it to try and figure … Read more

Why is my mod_rewrite not working?

First, your additional line comes too late. The rule before catches everything you want to match. Second, it doesn’t what you want. Your … RewriteRule /([0-9]+/?)$ /about/latest-news/$1 [NC,L] … matches requests like example.com//0000000000000000000/ or example.com/about/latest-news/2010/ (infinite loop!). The first argument for RewriteRule omits the starting /. To match year archives you need rather: RewriteRule ^(\d\d\d\d)/?$ … Read more

WordPress rewrite rules don’t need ^?

I just did a test and it seems like the rewrite rules imply ^ if you do not specify it. In my test I found: rule ‘foo’ matched url ‘foo’ rule ‘^foo’ matched url ‘foo’ rule ‘foo’ did not match url ‘afoo’ rule ‘^foo’ did not much url ‘afoo’ rule ‘.*foo’ matched url ‘afoo’ So … Read more

Rewrite Rules Are Redirecting and Not Passing VARs

You should probably use the built in rewrite api functions rather than using the generate_rewrite_rules filter. There are some issues with your rewrite regex. You need to start each with a carrot ^, to tell WP to match starting at the beginning of the URL. I’m not really sure what you’re trying to accomplish with … Read more

Remove base slug in permalinks of hierarchical custom post type

This will allow you to use the post name without the slug. Essentially anytime the link is requested it can be altered to exclude the base post type. And any time a query runs with just a name, the available post types used in the search are altered to include your post type. function wpse_remove_cpt_slug( … Read more

mod_rewrite empties QUERY_STRING if starting with number [closed]

Thanks to Tom, I looked more carefully to the plugins. And I can confirm that the problem is NOT RELATED to mod_rewrite, but to a plugin conflict. (sorry that I posted such a suspicion, but I read somewhere a very similar problem that was explained like that.) Deactivating plugin by plugin, I found that one … Read more

Rewrite rule to load images from production does nothing

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . index.php [L] # If images not found on development site, load from production RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wp-content/uploads/[^\/]*/.*$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [QSA,L] The problem here is that “If images not found on development site” then the request has already been rewritten to index.php by the preceding RewriteRule (WordPress front-controller), … Read more
