I use this file for the FREEWebPlate website template I built | View Demo
In order from top to bottom, I’ve marked parts in bold that you may want to alter:
- index | you may change this to: default if that’s what you’re using
- htm|html|php | you may add more extensions like so: htm|html|php|asp
- php (both places) | you may change to any other file type extension; htm, html etc.
- /search-results | you’ll need to specify what folders/files you want to allow query strings (?) on, add a new line for each
- /sitemap | you’ll need to specify what page/URL you want 404 pages to go to
For more advanced users, you can of course alter it however you like.
What this Script Does
- Enforces www in URLs
- Removes index.htm, index.html and index.php from URLs
- Allows you to link to cleaner versions of URLs without using the extension (use website.com/contact instead of website.com/contact.php)
- Strips query strings from URLs except for the folders and files you allow
- Forwards/redirects 404 error pages to the page of your choice
Enjoy.
