Htaccess File Editor – Safely Edit Htaccess File

Description

WP Htaccess Editor provides a simple, safe and fast way to edit, fix and test the site's htaccess file from WP admin. Before saving, the htaccess file can be tested for syntax errors. It also automatically creates a htaccess backup every time you make a change to the htaccess file.

Htaccess backups can be restored directly from the plugin, or via FTP if the errors in the htaccess file prevent WordPress from running normally. This plugin is great for fixing htaccess errors.

Access WP Htaccess Editor via the WP Admin Settings menu. If you are having problems with SSL or HTTPS, try our free WP Force SSL plugin. It is the easiest way to enable SSL and fix SSL problems.

Use the test before saving button to test htaccess file syntax before saving. Please note that this test does not check the logic of your htaccess file, only syntax errors.

WP Htaccess Editor is fully compatible and tested with WP Network (WPMU). It shows up under the Settings menu in network admin. The plugin does not track, collect or process any user data, making it GDPR compatible.

FAQ

Nothing is lost or deleted. You can easily get your site back.
You’re probably getting an error 500 or a white screen (of death). First connect to your site via FTP and locate the .htaccess file. Delete it, or rename it. Try the site again – it should open. If it did locate the backup of the old, working .htaccess file in /wp-content/htaccess-editor-backups/ copy the file to your site’s root folder and you’re back in business.
