WordPress htaccess File - 5 Primary Uses

why dont you use wordfrence ? its free and pretty good ?!

That you for sharing this information! I will like to have have a free plugins for doing this!

no, no and no

A random question I had. I would be creating blog in different languages with sub domains and not sub directories so would I be able to take backup of all domains and sub domains at once and be able to change hosting. Basically, would it follow the normal process of backing up as if it was one domain?

My .htaccess file looks pretty much the same, I have, I believe every security snippet known jammed in there. My latest addition to the file is a brilliant little ditty to stop the Facebook Click ID's ... My traffic mainly comes from my ADORED FB followers ( 300+K <3 ) and the FB Click ID URL Strings were causing HUGE issues on my site front and back ends, effecting site speed and also causing mass confusion in Google Analytics because it would only shown the long extension. I wont leave the whole snippet because I think it would make a great but simple Tutorial (No One else is addressing the issue.. Wink, Wink) ... # Handle fbclid query parameter RewriteCond % BLAH BLAH BLAH

You can also set security headers with WebARX which is pretty cool.

I do and I do use it :) thanks for this great tutorial :)

Hey man just heads up on your main landing page: element testimonials are VERY hard to read.
You should make the text white, i think.

I've heard of it andhave backed it up when asked, but otherwise know little about it!

Sir, your videos are always informative, and my suggestion please take back up of htacess file before modification..

interesting tutorial about htaccess. :) thank you Bjorn..

One thing I've used .htaccess for with clients is Configuring PHP Settings
Sometimes you need to tweak PHP’s settings. The right way to do this is in a file called php.ini.
Unfortunately, not all web hosting companies allow their customers to edit the php.ini file. This is especially true of shared hosting providers, where a single installation of PHP may be running hundreds of web sites.
Fortunately, there’s a workaround — you can embed php.ini rules into your .htaccess file.
The syntax looks like:

php_value [setting name] [value]

So, for example, if you need to increase the max file upload size (a common issue), it is as easy as:

php_value upload_max_filesize 10M

Not all PHP settings can be specified in .htaccess files. For example you can not disable_classes this way.

As you say "we are all learning and here to help one another" This video is an in-depth look at the .htaccess file, explaining very informatively how it can do so much more. For myself other than changing the "memory limits" in this file I never appreciated that it could do so much more. Thank you

I'm familiar with .htaccess via a previous video by Bjorn about initially setting up WordPress.

I have use it when I am minifying the website , compressing process

Hello WordPress Tutorials - WPLearningLab, well, I have to admit I have never heard of the htaccess file until today. I am trying to speed up my site and was told by my hosting provider to implement browser-side caching on my site. I haven't a clue how to do that. I have the code I just don't know how to implement it. I finally found the htaccess but when I click on it, it downloads to my PC. Is it supposed to do this? Do you have a tutorial showing how to implement browser-side caching? I really appreciate you making these tutorials.

Thanks for all the tutorials, I have bookmarked all your links. However, can you paste a link of the htaccess file the one you are using?

Super helpful, thank you!

Please I need your help. My site has been redirecting to itself and giving redirect loop error for days now, Please assist.

I didn't want to write a comment

New! Not used but have eat with banana 🍌 many times while sleeping on galaxy!

Can you help me?
What if I have a folder name in the same directory as a file name which has the same name as the folder:

- index.html
- xyz (folder)
vb.html
abc.html
- xyz.html


How would I remove the .html extension from the url?

I was looking for a way to no index some pages such as disclaimer, policies, etc. Was hoping to see it here.... but.... maybe you could make some videos about that in the future? :)

Not come across it before but keep coming across it when researching wether or not to use add-on domains for a second website.
I know that the only really benefit of doing so is financial but is this common practice? Or should I avoid it and just get another hosting plan?

Never used it! Recently came across it after starting my first webdev project. I am switching from Apache to nginx & had to look into it when some devs said htaccess don't work well in nginx for some reason?

I just know the basic, how to redirect index, thanks for helps..
