Here's my problem:
I have wordpress installed in the root folder
I created a folder named demo, also in the root folder
Now, this setup works, I can access php files inside the demo folder just fine (e.g. http://example.com/demo/test.php) as well as text files
The problem is when I try to access .xlsx files inside thedemo` folder the 404 page shows up
I'm not really sure if the problem is the .htaccess but here it is:
# 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 believe the best secure way to put files in wp-content to be able to easily access them

I'm using laravel routes, and I have a problem with URL
for example
https://laracasts.com/discuss. - URL has a double
https://laracasts.com/index.php/discuss
how to fix it?enter image description here
If it isn't already there, create an .htaccess file in the Laravel root directory. Create a .htaccess file your Laravel root directory if it does not exists already. (Normally it is under your public_html folder)
Now you should be able to access the website without the "/public/index.php/" part.
Edit the .htaccess file so that it contains the following code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I was trying to add SSL to a WP site that lives in a subdomain using this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPcznB74GPs .
All was working well and the site was responding to HTTPS until I edited the .htaccess file to try to force all traffic to SSL. Now I get "The requested URL / was not found on this server." on all domains (there are other sub domains that are siblings of the one I was editing and they are broken too).
After editing the .htaccess file and seeing the site was broken, I put the .htaccess file back the way it was but now it's still broken. I edited 2 files trying to fix this (public_html/.htaccess and public_html/mysubdomain.com/.htaccess) but have reverted each back to their original contents. Still no love.
The public_html/.htaccess is this:
# 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
#begin brad changes
php_value max_input_vars 3000
#end brad changes
and the public_html/mysubdomain.com/.htaccess file is this
# Switch rewrite engine off in case this was installed under HostPay.
RewriteEngine Off
SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 53
# 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
They are so plain vanilla I don't understand what could be going wrong.
Note that sibling sites (public_html/myOtherSite.com/) are also broken but i've not changed anything in those folders. This leads me to believe the main .htaccess file is messed up somehow.
I edited the files using GoDaddy's CPanel editor which asked me before opening the files if UTF8 was OK. Should that matter?
It turns out this was user error. Apparently CPanel support drag/drop and I inadvertently dragged my public_html folder under public_ftp so all my files were "gone". When I put the public_html back, everything started working again.
I've just read so much about this issue, but I'm lost here. Can't make this s*$%& work. Here's the issue. Graphic designer has a working WordPress, of which I know same as nothing, about some kindergarten in the city. She builds a landing page to throw a marketing campaign within a subfolder landing201812 inside the public_html folder of the hosting space. The WordPress is installed/deployed/whatever at the root of the site.
Site: https://www.newmills.com.ar/
Landing: https://www.newmills.com.ar/landing201812/
Directories:
public_html/
- lots_of_wordpress_rubbish
- .htaccess
- landing201812/
- sendform.php
Reading about wordpress bootstrapping way for processing all the requests, I have altered the .htaccess file in public_html so it excludes the rewriting of wordpress and goes straight to the landing site.
Original content:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Actual content
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^landing201812/?.* - [L] # My added rule
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
With both configurations, the static content (html/css/media) is served correctly, but, any php I would like to execute within that landing201812 folder, fails with a 404 Not Found error. I have tried also to exclude any landing201812 route with RewriteCond directives from the last RewriteRule like
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*landing201812.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
But the results are the same.
I am quite limited to move around the wordpress since I know nothing about wordpress. I have considered moving it to a subfolder of the public_html, but I'm afraid of breaking it, or its URLs. I have tried to disable the permalinks, but there's no On/Off switch that I could find.
Last, but in case you may wonder, I have tried including another .htaccess file inside my landing201812 folder. RewriteEngine Off did not work as much as the alternative I took from a native wordpress subfolder:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /landing201812/
RewriteRule ^.*\.php$ - [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
So... does anyone know what's wrong, or even better, how to fix this issue? Everyone says on the web that I should be fine with the htaccess rule, or disabling the permalinks, or moving the wordpress to a subfolder and not the root folder. Moving it is the last thing I would like to do, because I won't know how to fix it if it breaks. Am I missing something? Is there any log I should check?
Thanks in advance for any help.
if you are using cpanel, this is not necessary to do in .htaccess
Instead, can you please keep the original wordpress .htaccess and just assign permissions with filezilla to 775 to the folder?
Also, there should be a configuration missmatch, please try re-loading the PHP version in CPANEL (with PHP MANAGER) only to that folder.
If you can provide access to the site in private, maybe I can give you a hand.
It seems to me that if you were to keep the origional WordPress .htaccess and change your file structure to the following it will work at /landing201812/:
public_html/
- lots_of_wordpress_rubbish (not my opinion, just here to match OP)
- .htaccess
- landing201812/
- index.php
The key is naming the file index.php. Otherwise, you can call the file by name like so: /landing201812/sendform.php.
I have an issue with my .htaccess.
Let's say that my app folder are:
/APP/
/CONTENT/
/UPLOADS/
/ASSETS/
And I have a .htaccess file that point all requests to my index.php, and the index php there is an included file called router.php that manage my roots:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([\s\S]*)$ index.php?url=$0 [QSA,L]
What i would want to do right now is to point APP and CONTENT folder also to the .htaccess and like that, i can display my custom 404 error page.
Whenever I set the permanent links on wordpress to something other than the default
p=123
The links go to 404 pages
For example:
http://thewebsite.com/i/blog/2012/05/sample-post/
Would be linked as the blog post, but it would take you to a 404 result.
What can cause this kind of issue?
You need to have a rewrite in place.
In the root of your website, create a .htaccess file. This will be a hidden file but if you are using Filezilla as a FTP program you will be able to view it.
Put in it this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Save it in the root of your website, ie, where wp-config goes and it should work.
If you have your website in a sub directory you will need to change the Rewrite base to reflect this instead of / for root.
Hope this helps!
