What is .htaccess?

The .htaccess file is a configuration file used by Apache web servers to control directory-level settings. In WordPress, it is located in the root directory of your installation and is primarily used for permalink structures, but it can also handle security headers, caching rules, redirects, and access restrictions.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Select the rules you need from the categories on the left.
  2. Review the generated code in the output panel.
  3. Copy the code using the "Copy to Clipboard" button.
  4. Paste it into your site's .htaccess file, typically above the WordPress rewrite rules.
  5. Test your site to confirm everything works as expected.

Safety Tips

  • Always back up your existing .htaccess file before making changes.
  • Test changes on a staging environment when possible.
  • If your site becomes inaccessible after editing .htaccess, connect via FTP or your hosting file manager to restore the backup.
  • Some hosting providers manage .htaccess rules at the server level — check with your host if rules do not take effect.
