Apache Module – RewriteRules added to end of .htaccess file but should be top

  • Hi,

    In trying to get this plugin to work with the Apache Module, I realized the rules are being added to the bottom of the .htaccess file. Because the rules are run in order, the RewriteRules added by the plugin would never run unless they get past the WordPress RewriteRule to pass any url to /index.php [L]. So if you are trying to redirect /about-me to /about, you’ll get a WP 404 error because WordPress’ .htaccess rules would catch that first and skip the redirects added by this plugin.

  • I seem to have the same problem. Is this a bug? Seems a very common use case to me.

    My example:

    # 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

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteRule ^/imprint\.html$ https://domain.tld/impressum/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

# End of Redirection
