Customize Permalinks : How to parse index.php in the Wordpress Blog URL.

Techical Issues 47 Comments »

You can add the following rewrite rules in your .htaccess to parse the index.php which appears in the wprdpress blog URL .

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

It is a very good solution on Wordpress 2.xx version which doesn’t support the custom structure such as /%postname%/ within permalinks .
