Thread: Proper htaccess for worpress site?

i've accidentally deleted mine yesterday and i'm trying to upload one.
what should be the proper .htaccess config for a wordpress site?

Just resave the permalinks and your .htaccess will be recreated.

Nice tip! I can't believe a couple of days ago I downloaded Wordpress and then overwrited the file before saving the permalinks page

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

# END WordPress

It's got nothing to do with password security, just used to re-write URLs of posts.
