How to setup htaccess file for wordpress

[subornaakter20]

Let's discuss the steps involved in setting up the htaccess file for wordpress.

We are registering a ban on viewing the contents of a directory (as an example, we will use the vverx directory) in which there is no index.txt file

If we save the standard file, all people typing in the browser will see the contents of the directory, its files (listing).

Options-Indexes

Thanks to the Options directive, it is possible to set a number of similar parameters. So the directive can be used with the Indexes parameter.

Note that if you need protection from hacker attacks, Options is perfect.

Specify the encoding method

WP uses UTF-8 encoding by default. We must force the encoding of the htaccess file using the code below. This is the only way to avoid unnecessary problems:

Content compression

The user does not know that the content is compressed - this happens on the server - and decompressed on his device. However, such an operation is important, since it reduces traffic consumption, making page loading quicker. But let us repeat: the need for additional operations increases the load on the server.

Apache offers two compression options. Experts choose the mod_deflate module. To do this, you need to enter the code in the htaccess file:
