I have a website made with wordpress 4.2.2. Sometimes my .htaccess is erase by an older version, which look like that.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I've added many PermanentRedirect under the "RewriteRule . /index.php [L]" line. Only these lines desappears.
I already looked here and there
None of the plugins interract with the .htaccess and it's not he whole content that disappear.
I don't have any clue of what could be the origin of this issue.
EDIT: It seems that every time someone access the permalink setting page, the .htaccess is erase.
WordPress considers anything between the # BEGIN WordPress and # END WordPress to be its "territory". It uses those comments to find and replace its own rules when updates are necessary.
If you want to add custom rules, you must add them outside that block so WordPress does not overwrite them.
Sorry for the lack of update.
Still don't know how my code got overwritten previously, but putting my rules outside # BEGIN WordPress and # END WordPress comment-line did the trick.

I am trying to redesign a website from a friend and it's chaotic as hell. Now I am stuck a bit.
The old domain it something like http://www.website.com/folder/
I am trying the get rid out of the "folder", so I changed the setting in the wordpress setting and the root in the web-provider. The whole website is working fine, also the Wordpress admin area. But if I'm trying to get into the "home" page, it won't load - or it is loading endlessly.
Do you have any idea how I could fix it?
Regards and thanks,
Natts
A piece often forgotten is the .htaccess file (found in the root of your WP install); I especially suspect it because you're going from a subfolder to no subfolder.
Back it up, then override it with the default WordPress values (or delete it and go to Settings -> Permalinks in WP Admin)
Default .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I have moved wordpress site to production server from test server. I have done database, code configuration changes. The strange problem i am facing is if i call my website adding index.php then only it shows the site.
http://www.suziesellsaz.com/index.php
If i directly call using domain name it is not working
http://www.suziesellsaz.com
I have thought problem may be because of .htaccess so i have deleted .htacess and saved permalink and it creates following .htaccess but still no luck.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Can some one help me solving the issue?
Please check if under Settings > General settings
Both the urls i.e Wordpress Address and Site Address are same.
Last time I had this issue when they were different. Changing them and reseting permalink fixed this issue for me.
I am not sure about this but, Put your htaccess file back and
RewriteBase /
replace with this
RewriteBase /public_html/
and
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
replace with this
RewriteRule . /public_html/index.php [L]
May be it's the problem of URL rewriting.
Add the below code in .htaccess file -
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Once done then please make sure that the site URL and home URL for your site are set correctly. You can update the site URL and home URL from wp_options table, WordPress configuration file or from the WordPress administration panel.
Once done then please clear the cache of your system and try to access the website.
Let us know how you go.
Thanks to all of you for your valuable help and inputs. I struggled a lot on this issue and able to find the solution following these steps. Hope it will help some like me.
# Always use domain name in lower case.
In my case client domain is "SuzieSellsAZ.com" treat it as "suziesellsaz.com" all lower case.
Use Database Search and Replace Script in PHP to replace all occurence of previous domain.
ref:
https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
Update the siteurl and home URL in database options table and all other occurrence in the database.
Once it done or database update then you should import to any server and it will works fine.
Sometime site post or page URL does not work then go to setting > permalinks and save it. Site post and page URL will work fine.
Got an issue with a wordpress site that I've never experienced before. I have moved a site for a client from one server to another (I've done this several times before). The site has moved fine, however none of the images from my uploads folder are displaying. When I check the link, there is no "/" before wp-content, so my link reads like this:
http://www.vimartech.co.ukwp-content/uploads/2014/03/VIMARTECH-INDUSTRIAL.jpg
Here is my .htaccess file which is where I believe the issue lies. Can anyone help me out please.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
It's because wordpress holds full path to image in it's database.
This also true for configuration entries.
I haven't used wordpress for some time, but in the past I used a simple search/replace script to change old domain to new at doployment stage.
My .htaccess file for WordPress keeps adding code to look like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
AME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I don't need any code after the first "# END WordPress"
I don't know what is changing it and I just updated WordPress to version 3.5 to try and fix the issue but it is still there :/ Anybody have this issue or know how to fix it?
2/5/2013 EDIT: I updated WordPress, my Theme (AIT's Guesthouse), and WPML plugins and the issue seems to have disappeared. I'm still not sure which thing was causing it.
If anyone is still searching for this answer I had to do some research recently to solve the problem myself.
As it turns out WordPress can update your .htaccess whenever you modify your permalinks. I was experiencing the issue however based on a few stray plug-ins I attempted to update. I set the .htaccess file the way I wanted it and blocked any changes to the file by setting permissions to 644. You can also do 444 if that isn't strict enough for you. I do SSH but Filezilla or a similar FTP/SFTP program will work.
Also as a tip for the proactive, try maintaining your site with version control (I use Git through BitBucket) and you can have logs that will tell you when and what WordPress changes. Incredibly useful!
I am having a CRAZY error with Wordpress. When I create a new article or edit an old one, I cannot insert hotfile links that go after the first trailing slash.
I'm explaining it better. If in a post I do:
TEST
I can correctly create the article. If I do:
TEST
Or longer link, like:
TEST
I get an instant 403 error when updating the post from administration. This is crazy, and happens only with Hotfile links. Everything else works like a charm.
What could the error be? If it helps, i'm posting my .htaccess, that I never changed from my WP installation:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Already done repairing and optimization of MySQL DB. Kind thanks in advance to everyone.
I'm a regular WP developer, and I see little bugs like this all the time. Unfortunately, it usually means it's time to go through the tedious work of testing. The problem likely lies either with Apache/htaccess, or in a WP plugin or Theme.
To attempt to eliminate WP as the cause of this specific issue, I'd try creating a php file with the following in it:
<?
if (isset($_POST["field"]))
echo $_POST["field"];
?>
<form method='post'>
<input type='hidden' name='field' value='TEST'>
<input type='submit' value='Test'>
</form>
If clicking "Test" does not result in the same 403 error, then it's something happening with WP specifically. If it does result in a 403, then it's a much more annoying problem that you are going to want to take up with your hosting provider.
If it is a WP problem, the first thing I would do is to start deactivating plugins 1 by 1, starting with the plugins I think are the most likely culprits. If I have no reason to suspect one over another, I just disabled them all, 1 at a time. Once a plugin is disabled, I try to recreate the original issue. If the problem still happens, it's obvious that plugin wasn't at fault, and I reactivate it and test the next one. 9 times out of 10, my issue is found this way. Be careful when trying this, as some plugins will clear their settings when they're deactivated.
If that doesn't solve the issue, I'll try a different theme and see if that fixes it. Obviously if the problem is gone when you try a new theme, you know where your problem is. Again, some themes can have setting associated with them, and changing the theme can lose those settings.
Finally, check your wp-content/mu-plugins folder for plugins that are always active and don't always show up in your list of plugins.
I realize this post is as ancient as time itself but I've run into a similar problem took me forever to figure out what was going on until i realized all I had to do is add:
Options +FollowSymLinks
At the top of the .htaccess file and presto! It worked.
Options +FollowSymLinks
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Credit goes to this good man: http://www.coolestguyplanettech.com/403-forbidden-error-wordpress-htaccess/
I also had a similar issue, apparently wordpress has some problems with some bits of code I tried to add in my post. I managed to bypass the issue by surrounding the code in <pre> tags.
Mostly, 403 forbidden error is because of four reasons 1. File permission. 2. Issue with plugins. 3. Hotlink protection 4. issue with .htaccess file 5. Your CDN(Content Delivery Network). For solving this error you need to check all these aspects to remove the error.
check the file permission as you know
the file has permission for 644 and the directory 755
Deactivate the plugins. Sometimes you might get errors because of plugins
next you need to delete .htaccess file and create a new file with the below code
# BEGIN WordPress
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]
# END WordPress
Next you need to check hotlink protection for your site. As it proved your website to link media or files from other sites.
lastly, you need to check for CDN you can disable it to know if it causing error or not.
I know my answer is late in coming but just wanted to add my 2 cents.
I would recommend checking the .htaccess file to make sure it is similar to below.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
You could try adding Options +FollowSymLinks as adamj stated in his answer so the .htaccess would look similar to below.
Options +FollowSymLinks
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Check to ensure that no plugin are causing the issue. Disable all plugins to see if the issue persist. If it doesnt, it would be a process of elimination to figure out which one is the cause.
Finally, I have removed the .htaccess file and that also worked for me but no .htaccess file would means no URL rewrite unless your web server is otherwise configured.
I hope this helps someone.
