It provides an interface to customize the htaccess file generated by Wordpress but also its permalinks (author, category, archives, pagination and custom taxonomies). Take a look at the screenshot for a clearer exemplification. **Features:** * Customizing the htaccess file generated by Wordpress; * Removing any custom taxonomy's slug base from permalinks; * Removing the category base from permalinks; * Removing the author base from permalinks; * Customizing the Author Permalink Base; * Customizing Paginated Permalinks (translate the "page" word on permalinks to your own language); * Customization (and canonization) of the Search Permalink Base; * Creation of Category, Author, Tag and Custom Taxonomy based archives (ex: *"http://your-site.com/category/stories/2010/12"*, *"http://your-site.com/author/admin/2010/12/page/2"* and *"http://your-site.com/tag/wordpress/2010/12"*), this will also work if you've removed the base slug; * Maintenance mode; * wp-login.php redirection. **Easy to use "Suggested htaccess" rules:** * Jim Morgan's htaccess; * Disable directory browsing; * Disable and redirect image hotlinking; * Disable and redirect file hotlinking; * Force canonical url (WWW or non-WWW); * Limit maximum file upload size; * Protect wp-config.php file from access; * Protect .htaccess file from access; * Protect comments.php from spam bots coming from nowhere; * Set 500 error page; * Set 403 error page; * Use mod_gzip if available; * Use mod_deflate if available; * Set admin email on server generated error pages; * Disable ServerSignature on server generated error pages. **Translated to:** pt_BR and pt_PT. (POT file is included, translations are welcome) == Installation == 1. Download **WP htaccess Control**; 2. Extract its content; 3. Upload the **wp-htaccess-control** folder to **wp-content/plugins**; 4. Activate it under **Plugins**; 5. Configurate it under **Settings** > **WP htaControl**. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Do you have any questions? = Suggestions are welcome and please report any bugs found! == Screenshots == 1. Administration page (as of v.2.0) == Known Issues == I still haven't tested this under **Wordpress multisite**, issues have however been reported. == Additional Credit == Removal of the category base is based on iDope's **WP No Category Base** but extended so that it works with category archives (ie.: *"http://example.com/my-category/2010/12"*). Search redirection is based on Mark Jaquith's **Nice Search** but extended so that it works with custom search base (ie.: *"http://example.com/search-base/search-term"*). == Changelog == = 3.2 (27/04/2012) = * Fix: still fixing 3.0 critical errors (mostly data handling and link filtering). = 3.1 (27/04/2012) = * Fix: 3.0 introduced errors (removal of bases regardless of the settings);
