.htaccess is a configuration file read by the server. It makes it possible to configure the settings of many servers and can be used for authorization, cache control, website optimization and URL rewriting.<\/p>\n
In WordPress, the .htaccess file is in most cases used for URL rewriting, making URLs cleaner and more readable for people and search engines.<\/p>\n
In the WordPress administration section Settings<\/strong>><\/strong> Permalinks<\/strong>, you can choose the structure of your URLs. WordPress will automatically update your .htaccess file to apply the chosen structure.<\/p>\n If WordPress cannot do this automatically, you will be asked to do it manually. Editing the .htaccess file manually is a bit risky, since it can cause server errors if the settings are incorrect. So make sure you copy only the information that WordPress recommends.<\/p>\n Keep in mind that if your site runs on Nginx, .htaccess is not used \u2014 redirect, URL rewrite and caching rules are set in the Nginx configuration (for example, via Plugins such as W3 Total Cache<\/a>, WP Rocket<\/a> and other modern caching and optimization solutions modify your .htaccess file to configure caching, compression and optimization of site resources.<\/p>\n The .htaccess file is usually located in the root directory of your WordPress site. Your FTP<\/a> client may not show it, because by default files and directories beginning with a dot are considered hidden. To see them, enable the display of hidden files in your FTP client.<\/p>\n If you use a CDN (Cloudflare, BunnyCDN and others), some of the redirects and caching may be managed at the CDN level rather than through .htaccess, which is also worth considering when configuring your site.<\/p>\n Our specialization is WordPress website development and maintenance.
