Need help understanding contents of a .htaccess file

0 Views

I’m working on a blog using WordPress and I can’t figure out what the .htaccess file it creates is doing.

Here is the contents of the file:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /welg/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /welg/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Does anyone who understands this have the time to explain each line to me? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  1. # If the mod_rewrite.c module is available then do the following
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    # Enable the rewrite engine, which is used to rewrite the
    # path to something WordPress understands
    RewriteEngine On

    # Set the base to this path. In other words, assume that the
    # website is always at domain.com/welg/
    RewriteBase /welg/

    # If index.php is called then stop rewriting ([L] means Last)
    RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]

    # If the path is NOT a valid file
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    # ... and the path is NOT a valid folder
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

    # ... then always load the index.php file (which will handle
    # loading the page, no matter what the path is)
    RewriteRule . /welg/index.php [L]

# Done
</IfModule>

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index.php$ /welg/index.php [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /welg/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
