10 awesome .htaccess hacks for WordPress

by Jean-Baptiste Jung. 243 Comments -

.htaccess, the file which control the Apache webserver, is very useful and allows you to do a lot of things. In this article, let’s see how .htaccess can help you with your WordPress blog, for both security,functionnality and usability.

Warning

When editing or modifying the .htaccess file of your WordPress blog, make sure to always have a backup that you can restore in case of something went wrong.

1 – Redirect WordPress RSS feeds to feedburner with .htaccess

Which blogger doesn’t use feedburner? Sure, feedburner is a very nice service, allowing you to know how many people suscribed to your rss feeds. The only problem is that you must edit your theme files to manually change the rss url. Happilly, there’s a nice hack, using .htaccess, which will make you save a lot of time!
Don’t forget to modify line 6 before applying this code!

# temp redirect wordpress content feeds to feedburner
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner    [NC]
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedValidator [NC]
 RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ http://feeds2.feedburner.com/catswhocode [R=302,NC,L]
</IfModule>

2 – Remove /category/ from your WordPress url

By default, WordPress category permalinks are displayed that way:

http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/category/wordpress

As you can see, the category in the url is pretty useless. Here’s how to remove it:
First backup your .htaccess file. Then, open it and append the following line:

RewriteRule ^category/(.+)$ http://www.yourblog.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Once saved, your categories pages will be displayed like this:

http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/wordpress

3 – Using browser cache

A very good way to optimize your blog loading time is to force the use of the browser cache. This code will not improve your blog loading time directly, but it will save some work to the server by sending a 304 not modified status when the requested element haven’t been modified.

FileETag MTime Size
<ifmodule mod_expires.c>
  <filesmatch "\.(jpg|gif|png|css|js)$">
       ExpiresActive on
       ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
   </filesmatch>
</ifmodule>

4 – Compress static data

Do you know that it is possible to send compressed data to the visitors, which will be decompressed by the client? This code will definitely save you (and your visitor) bandwidth and reduce your pages weight.

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml application/xml application/xhtml+xml text/javascript text/css application/x-javascript
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

5 – Redirect Day and name permalinks to /%postname%/

The first thing to do is to login to your WordPress admin, go to Settings → Permalinks and select custom. Fill out the field with /%postname%/.
Your permalinks will now look like the ones on this blog:

http://www.yourblog.com/name-of-the-post

Now we got to redirect all backlinks using the old permalinks structure to the new permalink structure. To do so, you’ll have to edit the .htaccess file, located in WordPress root directory.
Paste the following line in your .htaccess:

RedirectMatch 301 /([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$4

Allright! You just changed your permalinks structure without loosing any backlinks!

6 – How to: Deny comment posting to no referrer requests

Are you sick and tired about the daily amount of spam comments received? Sure, there’s akismet, but here’s a little .htaccess trick to prevent spammers posting on your blog. The fact is that most spammers uses bots comming from nowhere. This code will look for the referrer (the page from where the commentator come from) and will deny commenting if the commentator try to access the wp-comments-post.php file without directly comming from your blog.
Just change the line 4 and specify your blog url there.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .wp-comments-post\.php*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*yourblog.com.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) ^http://%{REMOTE_ADDR}/$ [R=301,L]

7 – Redirect visitors to a maintenance page

When you’re upgrading your blog, or making theme/design changes, it isn’t a good idea to let people see your blog being tweaked, sometimes with design or code problems, or even worst, security gaps.
The solution is to design a nice “maintenance page” and temporarily redirect your visitors to that page until you finished the maintenance.
Replace maintenance.html (line 2) by the page you’d like to redirect your visitors, and the IP adress on line 3 by your own ip.
Note that a 302 redirection is used, to avoid search engines indexing the maintenance page instead of your real homepage!

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/maintenance.html$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^123\.123\.123\.123
RewriteRule $ /maintenance.html [R=302,L]

8 – Protect your WordPress blog from hotlinking

Hotlinking is the use of an image from one site into a web page belonging to another site. Many bloggers are hotlinked, and have their bandwidth used on another websites. This very helpful code will protect your WordPress blog from hotlinking.

RewriteEngine On
#Replace ?mysite\.com/ with your blog url
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?mysite\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
#Replace /images/nohotlink.jpg with your "don't hotlink" image url
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /images/nohotlink.jpg [L]

9 – Allow only your IP adress on the wp-admin directory

Excepted the case of a collaborative blog, only you should be allowed to visit the wp-admin directory. If you have a static IP, this code will do the job.
All you have to do is to enter your static IP adress on line 8. Note that you can add more IPs if needed, by creating a new line with: allow from xx.xx.xxx.xx inside.

AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Example Access Control"
AuthType Basic
<LIMIT GET>
order allow, deny
deny from all
allow from xx.xx.xx.xx
</LIMIT>

10 – Banning a WordPress Spammer With .htaccess

You know it, spam is very annoying. In the case of a particular person/bot spamming you, you can easily avoid it by blacklisting the IP.
Simply replace the IP adress on line 3 by the spammer’s IP. You can add more spammers by creating a new line with deny from xxx.xx.xxx.xxx inside.

<Limit GET POST>
order allow,deny
deny from 200.49.176.139
allow from all
</Limit>

    8 – Protect your WordPress blog from hotlinking

    It will be necessary to try necessarily, and that in manual each time to change names of files tires, at the same time and protection against theft of a content.
    Thanks for the information

  10. Martin Fister said:

    This is a great list. You do a great job with your blog of really digging into deep aspects of developing a wordpress site and it really has helped me with my blog. I might try and change some of these things.

  16. Silver Firefly said:

    Hi,

    Thanks for this article, it’s going to be really useful for me, in fact – essential! I’ve dugg this article.

    In response to Comment #7, plugins are bloat. I’d prefer not to use plugins if possible.

  18. Allan Clark said:

    re: #8 (hotlinking), we had a competitor stealing our images. In such cases, the options are:
    1) refuse foreign references, as this solution does
    2) redirect to offensive image to hasten the takedown (immature, funny, but without goatcxe, lacking “oomph”)
    3) redirect to an advertisement for our site

    I opted for #3, I redirected to a lighter-weight image of the site to bring in more clicks. Also, considered swapping out my own reference to that image (only one local ref) and making a permanent redirect for the original reference, with the idea that the discussion plus the 301-redirect to my content actually improves SEO around that subject — the foreign hotlink costs me less bandwidth, but brings in traffic and SEO ranking :)

  22. Kaveh said:

    Awesome post.. thanks man! just a quick question though. Where should I copy these codes and how can i find this file that you mentioned? Im trying to use the hotlinking code you posted here.

    thanks again…

  23. mcd said:

    Tried the “Remove /category/ from your WordPress url” and it didn’t work. Should the code be placed in the .htaccess file in the blog/root folder or elsewhere?

  24. Wordpress Themes said:

    I’ve always been sorta scared to touvh the htaccess file, but I realized its fine. Just to back it up.

    Anyway, nice post, I like the one with feedburner, probably the most popular one.

    Nice collection of tips. Still, have you tried #4 yourself? It seems not to work (checked with YSlow), components still aren’t gziped.
    As for #6, unfortunately, it’s really easy to set the referrer and user agent, from any server-side script, loads of bots are that advanced. Did you notice any improvement with it?
    Cheers.

    @ Maigret – removing category won’t matter unless you want to rank for that word :)

    Re #3 – is this required if you’re using the WP Super Cache plugin? It seems to do client side caching as well as server side. Not sure though.

  63. Catrin W said:

    Excellent wordpress hacks collection. I think everyone should at least implement those security hacks, as you never know when your blog will come on hacker’s mind.

  66. Listen To Hip Hop Music said:

    This is a very solid article. Its utilization to redirect wordpress rss feeds to feedburner is genius. I also like the idea of using .htaccess to ban spammers. That definitely is going to come in handy!

  67. AutoQuoter said:

    Super Article!

    On our site we have comments turned off, however in a dashboard you can still see the huge list of spams trying to get in via wp-comments-form.php and mostly from auto insurance sites, since we’re in that business. Hopefully we put the stop on that.

    Thank you so much, I already add the lines to my .httacess,
    Emil

  69. Rick said:

    Excellent article. I was not aware you could do so much in the .htaccess file. I build wordpress sites almost exclusively. Good to know now how much flexibility I have in the .htaccess file.

    Thanks.

  71. John Hoff - WpBlogHost said:

    Yeah but why would you ever want to use a plugin when there is no need.

    Plugins increase load time of your site and also pose possible security issues to your blog. Last week, someone tried to hack our blog using a security hole in the wp-adverts plugin. We don’t use that plugin, however.

    Whenever you can do something without a plugin, especially if it’s through .htaccess, that’s the way to do it.

  72. Alex Schleber said:

    Excellent collection, already tweeted/sent this to everyone I know.

    Re: 2) there is some value to your categories being identified as such to Google, same for Tags if you use them (which I hope you do, ideally with SimpleTags plugin which rules over WordPress’ native tag handling).

    Re: 5) nice trick, of course one should set this up in the way you describe from the beginning…

    Re: 6) I’ve found the YAWASP Plugin to catch 99% of spam via a very simple yet genius method that doesn’t require captchas and doesn’t have the overreach problems that Akismet has (I have Akismet turned off in fact).

  73. Lokale Gryfino said:

    Looks you’ve done a great job on .htaccess. I’d like to warn everyone – try it first before you put in on online server. Or backup your previous copy if you’re not 100% sure what you’re doing.

  81. Martin Fister said:

    I hadn’t even put two and two together on the rss feeds. Way to make the most out of it by redirecting to feed burner. This was a great list and I appreciate the suggestions. I hope to see some more soon!

  83. Sire said:

    In regards to the feedburner hack do you just replace the http://feeds2.feedburner.com/catswhocode portion with our own code?

  84. Stop Smoking Weed said:

    Thanks for the hacks. With regard to #7, can I use it redirect to another site (e.g. http://abc.com and how should I rewrite the code below

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/maintenance.html$

    Is this correct?

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !abc.com$

  87. John Hoff - WpBlogHost said:

    Mezanul
    Just remember though, if you stop hotlinking to images on your site you may be denying people a way to find your site. I get traffic from people searching Google and Yahoo Images.

    Toronto Plastic Surgeon
    See my previous comment. Plugins can slow down the load time of your blog and also provide possible security holes. I’ve been on the WP forums for awhile and there are a number of people’s blogs which have been hacked due to security issues with some plugins.

    .htaccess is always the best way to do things. It’s read before your website is even visited.

  89. bewegaleri said:

    yeah, i agree with John Hoff. sometimes hotlinked image can drive me some traffics. I don’t care about bandwidth because i host my files in Google (blogspot) :)

  92. Plaques said:

    Fantastic! The category removal from the directories has stumped me. This question might get me railed but it is possible to have an htaccess file in multiple directories on the site correct? I have only use WP for stand alone installations, not to hang on a website.

  93. Indian Forum said:

    I think some of these hacks are not required. They can be done straight from the settings panel. One hack which I know can be done from settings is hack # 2. It can be done from the permalink structure settings from inside wp-admin.

    Finally a clear article about htaccess tips !

    2 questions though : is there an easy way to set up a password at the homepage (and the whole blog) ?

    My default htaccess is like this :

    # BEGIN WordPress

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

    # END WordPress

    Where should I insert the code you provide ? Anywhere between the two “#” tags?
    thx

  102. Firany said:

    Yeah blocking bots is a great way to save a lot of time on comment moderation. Plus you know you won’t miss out on anything important since there hasn’t been one instance in the history that the bot would make a wirthwile comment.

  103. John Hoff - WpBlogHost said:

    Emal
    You can put it above as the very first item (above the first #) or below the last #, either way will work.

    All the # are, are comments.

    If you’re not familiar with .htaccess, then the easiest way to password protect either a directory or your entire site (i.e. password protect your root) is to set up password protection through your web hosting control panel. Log into your control panel and look for an icon or something name “Password Protect”.

    These are definitely some great .htaccess tricks. I have actually used a few of these myself. Another resource that I thoroughly enjoy when it comes to .htaccess tricks is at http://perishablepress.com/press/2006/01/10/stupid-htaccess-tricks/. You can find a ton of different .htaccess stuff there, from optimization to security.

  112. morris bryant said:

    awesome tips, thanks a lot.

    you can do the same thing with categories in the permalink sections by using “/.” but it does throw out ome issues with pagination (does the htaccess change work with pagination?)

    protecting from hotlinking images is really great.

    great post!

    The tip #8 is is awesome, but I am wondering about the following… besides having ftp access to the server, I only have the Google Analytics stats, I am wondering.. how do you find out without blocking them first, who is using your images, and content? I would much rather see who is using it, as opposed to blocking them first, hehe.

    Wow impressive article!
    Recently, I’ve created a new subdomain (the domain has a wordpress blog on it) and I’ve uploaded some avi files there. I’ve created then an html file with links pointing to these movies.

    The problem is I cannot access these files when I click on the links. Is giving me that message with “Nothing found for …”.

    I guess is related to .htaccess file or / and somehow to wordpress since I did the same thing on another domain with no worpdress on it and it works. Any ideas why this problem?
    Thanks!

    I have a question, I installed my blog in its own directory but followed WordPress instructions to move the index so the blog can be accessed from the main index instead of going to the folder, is there a way to redirect people who try to access my installation folder to the index using .htaccess?

    Very cool stuff. I really like the .htacess that reduces my spam. For the longest time I wondered why I would get a flood of like 20 spam comments however that article had little to no hits.

    When using a windows server, in this case I have a web.config file, which replaces in that case my htaccess file. How can I incorporate this line to not show the category in the url?
    RewriteRule ^category/(.+)$ http://www.yourblog.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    I tried this but it does not work:

    Any help would be highly apreciated.

    Thanks,
    Patricia

    Hi,

    I need some help with my permalinks – actually I’ve decided to change them from /%category%/%postname%/ to /%year%/%monthnum%/%category%/%postname%/

    Could you please tell me how to 301 redirect them.

    Thanks in advance!

    Having always found .htaccess files a bit of a black art (but more obscure), this post contains some really great tips that I will be trying out soon.

    I especially like the ones to do with blocking spammers, as some of our blogs get a ton of comment spam (which Akismet picks up, for the most part, fortunately).

    I also love the idea of replacing hot-linked banners with adverts for your own site. Brilliant!

    This is great tips. Thank you for sharing with us. Especially point no 5, it’s really help me with permalink.

    Just want to share that if anybody experiencing a problem with “404 error not found” in google webmaster tool, right now there is a plugin that can fix it. Just search in the plugin area and you will have a lot of plugin regarding redirecting no need to modified your ht.access anymore.

    Cheers!

    Redirect Day and name permalinks to /%postname%/
    Your code is the only one that has worked for me from the other methods I’ve been trying in the past hour. Thanks heaps!
