Problem with permanent links in WordPress and inbound posts - php

I currently use version 5.1 of Wordpress, followed by busiprof theme, I do not have any other installed nor do I have a plugin installed.
The problem is that every time I go to Settings> Permanent Links>Post Name> Save Changes, then I try to publish a post and it does not leave me, nor update it. But above the field of categories and labels when creating a theme or update it disappear.
I have the rewrite module activated, and of course, every time I follow the aforementioned route, it creates a .htaccess with the following content:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# 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
I don't see the problem.

I don't know why there are two sets of identical rules in the .htaccess file. Try deleting the top set or rewrite rules just leave this one:
# 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
If that doesn't work just delete the .htaccess file all together and re-save permalinks.

Redirection of website-want to use /en folder being redirected to post

I encountered a strange behaviour with WordPress website.
I have created /en folder in the root and want to have another WordPress website there.
The problems appears when I try to open mainwebsite.com/en I'm being redirected to mainwebsite.com/english-post
So, WP gives the priority to the post that is found in the main domain and it's slug begins with "en".
I tried changing the folders name to "ren" and the website in the folder than shows up nicely.
I've checked .htaccess file for some redirects and none is set.
I noticed that this is a typical WP behaviour, as I tested on some "bigger" brands that use WP and same thing happens,ie:
https://www.smashingmagazine.com/en redirects to --> https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/11/enabling-multiscreen-tracking-with-google-analytics/
http://vanheusen.com/en redirects to --> http://vanheusen.com/products/english_shaded_box_silk_tie/
Have any idea how to solve this?
This is my .htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(en/)
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Try using this rule in your main .htaccess
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/en
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
And then you need this rule below in the .htaccess inside en folder
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /en/
RewriteRule ^index\.php - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /en/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Let me know how this works

RewriteRule not working on production server

For my current project I have to Redirect 301 some links but when you enter them with some extra get parameters that parameters need to be suffixed on the new url.
Example:
Old:
/language/nl/article-1/?test=123
new:
/language/nl/fa1-artcile-1/?test=123
So I use the following code: (which works fine on my dev env)
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /language/nl
RewriteRule /artcile-1/* /language/nl/fa1-artcile-1/$1 [R=301,L]
But once on my production env it does not work, it still redirects to new url but, the get parameters are not appended on the new url.
Edit: It does redirect but it does not append the parameters.
Edit 2: full fill
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
The rewrite rule(s) come before the wordpress part and I have about 30 of them.
Any suggestions?
Have it like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^language/nl/article-1/?$ /language/nl/fa1-artcile-1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
You need to append the query string:
# 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,QSA]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Probably the other answers here are correct as well. But for my case they won't work.
The env it is running up is a MS Azure env, so I need to have a web.config file instead of a .htaccess file (how ever, it works for some part).
Thanks for all the quick help and thinking!

How to ignore a wordpress permalink and use the folder path instead

I have a wordpress site but want to have another microsite within one of the folders.
www.example.com = main site
www.example.com/shop = new site
However on the main site I have pretty permalinks turned on, how do I make an exception for just "shop". Below isnt working.
# 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
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/shop
RewriteRule . /shop/index.php [L]
After doing a bit more digging on rewrites and .htaccess this code worked in the end...
Its simply saying if the url is shop stop any more rewrites
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^shop\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

htaccess help in coexisting Codeigniter and Wordpress install

My intention here is to have a codeigniter app with a blog under the same domain. The admin for both should be separate.
The directory structure is this:
httpdocs/.htaccess
httpdocs/application/ <== CI installation
httpdocs/blog/ <== WP installation
httpdocs/blog/.htaccess
URLs would be like this:
mysite.com <== CI
mysite.com/tools <== CI
mysite.com/forum <== CI
mysite.com/blog <== WP
I followed this tutorial to set up and it worked nicely.
Both my codeigniter app and WP blog home page show exactly as they should, with correct URLs, styles etc.
I can also access mysite.com/blog/wp-admin normally for WP back end stuff.
My issue is when I try to access an actual blog post, for example:
mysite.com/blog/fiction/what-is-going-on/
When I do this, I get Codeigniter's 404 error page.
My root .htaccess (httpdocs/.htaccess) is this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt|blog|assets)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
My blog .htaccess (httpdocs/blog/.htaccess) is this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Will post more info if requested. Thanks in advance.
OK the solution is to use
CI .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
and
WP .htaccess
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
That did the trick. Now all pages show without a problem.
I generally use 2 sets of conditions on the CI .htaccess (one on the root folder)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)$ blog/index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
This will allow the processing of blog URLs first and then deal with the CI URLs. You need to be careful not to have any controllers or routes using the term blog in your application.
I would try three things in your Wordpress .htaccess (don't touch the CI one -- it looks correct):
First, try removing the forward slash from before your index.php:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
If that doesn't work, then instead, try setting the RewriteBase to /blog/:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Finally, if neither of those things work, you can try manually adding "/blog/" to your index.php line at the end:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Wordpress setup for WAMP local environment

I have downloaded a word press site I need to work on the front-end. The problem I am having it that every page apart from the homepage displays my root server /index.php
Since downloading I have:
Updated the wp_options for both siteurl and home
Updated the rewritebase in .htaccess url to the name of the subfolder.
Is there anything else I need to update?
The admin area fully works correctly just every page/post apart from homepage
EDIT: Add .htaccess
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
END2 - Fixed by removing a /
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
