WordPress Pretty Permalinks .htaccess Rules

The standard rewrite block WordPress relies on for "pretty" permalinks — it routes any request that isn't a real file or folder through index.php so WordPress can handle the URL itself.

php

# 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

Setup:

Make a backup copy of your current .htaccess file before touching anything.
Clear out the existing contents of .htaccess.
Paste the rules above in its place.
Save the file.
