Kathy_P Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 WordPress has an option to enable "pretty" or "cruft-free" permalinks. When you do this, it modifies your .htaccess file. If you then attempt to activate HotLink protection or Redirects, Cpanel is all confused by what WordPress put in the .htaccess and gives you an error. I have found the correct code for accomplishing both of these tasks and inserted it in my .htaccess myself, and then it works fine. I don't know if others have had this problem, but it's something to be aware of when a member complains that either of these utilities is "not working." Quote
TCH-Don Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 It's always a good idea to keep backups of your .htaccess file I make a new copy before installing anything that will modify it. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 I don't let Wordpress update my .htaccess automatically. I always copy/paste the permalink info into it manually. Quote
