url rewriting - Adding rewrite rules directly to .htaccess file

文章数量:1291127

I wanna add a simple rewrite rule

RewriteRule ^apply\/?  [L]

my .htaccess file is like

# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

If I add my rule to the last line of this file, it won't work. But if I add it into right after

RewriteEngine On

it will work. But it will get overwritten.

I don't understand why this line won't work outside of wordpress block. I am aware of there is a API to add rewrite rule, just wanna know why it won't work for learning purpose.

• "it will work. But it will get overwritten." - What do you mean by "overwritten"? You can't internally rewrite a request to an external domain (as you appear to be trying to do). The directive you posted will result in an external 302 redirect. – MrWhite Commented Jun 15, 2021 at 15:27

As it says in the file:

The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters. Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.

Put your code before #BEGIN WordPress or after # END WordPress.

However, in the [L] flag means LAST, so no more rules will be run if that one has a hit.

So this rule will need to be above the # BEGIN WordPress

Try this .htaccess:

# Just to be safe, wrap it in IfModule mod_rewrite.c, so that 
# it does not kick in unless mod rewrite is enabled.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteRule ^apply\/? https://docs.google/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf5IrOhg0E_NAGZnOvMuaXhU80sio8bukaWVBkb87eEOa9kTw/viewform [L]
</IfModule>

# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

There is a great tool to debug your .htaccess file, it's called htaccess tester. I prepared two examples:
