The Basic Original WordPress htaccess file

This one is for me more than you, but hey, there is a lack of info on the internet, and its up to me to set it straight…

When I install WordPress sometimes the .htaccess file for permalinks is never created, so I have to hunt around for it… sometimes you don’t want a fancy all-singing all dancing htaccess file, just the original… so here it is :

# BEGIN WordPress



RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]



# END WordPress

Copy, paste, upload, permalink.
