WordPress Default .htaccess

Updated 2 months ago

Below, we detail the rules WordPress generates in the .htaccess file when permalinks are enabled.

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

We can use this file if we need to investigate an error or issue on our site. Always remember to make a backup before making any changes.
