Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Custom .htaccess rules manager
The .htaccess file is a powerful configuration file used by Apache web servers. It allows for decentralized management of web server configuration on a per-directory basis, enabling features like URL rewriting, access control, password protection, and more, without needing to modify the main server configuration.
WordPress automatically manages certain parts of your .htaccess file. Placing custom rules at the very top or very bottom ensures they are processed either before WordPress's default rules (top) or after them (bottom), preventing conflicts and ensuring your rules are applied as intended.
You can add various Apache directives, such as: Redirections (Redirect, RewriteRule) Blocking IP addresses or user agents Setting custom error pages Modifying caching headers Disabling directory browsing Enforcing HTTPS And many more! Always ensure the rules you add are valid Apache directives.
The plugin creates a backup of your .htaccess file every time you save changes. If your site becomes inaccessible after saving rules, you can: Access your site via FTP or your hosting's file manager. Navigate to your WordPress root directory and find the .htaccess file. Go to wp-content/uploads/htaccess-backups/.
Rename your current, problematic .htaccess file (e.g., to .htaccess_old). Upload the backup file and rename it to .htaccess. Alternatively, if you can still access your WordPress admin, go to Settings > Custom .htaccess and use the "Restore Selected Backup" option.
The plugin keeps the last 10 backups of your .htaccess file. Older backups are automatically discarded to save space.
On the Settings > Custom .htaccess page, there's an "Uninstall Options" section where you can choose whether to "Delete all plugin data (including .htaccess backups) upon uninstallation" or "Keep .htaccess backups on the server upon uninstallation." This gives you control over your data.
