<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php

# END WordPress

I just created an addon domain and wanted to use new rules for it

I created a .htaccess file and put it inside the addon folder eg /newaddon

In the .htaccess file i have:

Options -Indexes

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^readjob/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/$ readjob.php?id=$1&amp;cat=$2&amp;title=$3
</IfModule>

The url stucture i have is this:

http://www.website.com/readjob/3/jobs/web-designers-potech-integrated-services/

But it keeps telling me link is broken

I dont know what to do, pls i need assistance

(pls i just learnt mod rewriting today, so clarity will be highly appreciated)

Thanks

Answer 1

Replace & with just & (it works here). If there are still troubles you may want to add [L] to the end (it means that if it matches processing of rules should stop) just in case there is a conflict. Finally check your set-up allows trailing slashes.

Answer 2

Just merge your .htaccess files.

 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^readjob/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/$ newaddon/readjob.php?id=$1&cat=$2&title=$3
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php
</IfModule>
