Re-saving permalinks deletes htaccess code

    Hi,
    I noticed that the permalinks code from FBRG is written into the htaccess section for WordPress itself. However, re-saving permalinks overwrites entire this section. I’ve seen that other plugins put their code in a separate part of the htaccess file, and whilst this isn’t so great for performance (probably) it does prevent the code from disappearing.
    Cheers,
    Emma

    Hi Emma,

    I’m sorry you observe this behavior with the plugin.

    The plugin use the regular WordPress Rewrite API. So it is expected to do it “the right way”. This said, maybe I did something wrong and .htaccess is not modified as it should. I’m going to investigate this.

    The routes added by RFG in .htaccess are optional. Actually, they sometimes fail for some reasons (most of the time: modification of this file is prevented by hosting providers and security plugins). Having them is a plus, for example they save you from a few 404 errors in your logs when browsers try to load /favicon.ico even if it is declared to be elsewhere. But there are no serious impact: your favicon will just work everywhere because everything is declared in the HTML code as it should.

    Cheers,
    Philippe
