.htaccess Generator for WordPress

Presets

Target Apache Version Output access control directives in Apache 2.4 format Output access control directives in Apache 2.2 / 2.4 compatible format

⚠️ This switch only affects the format of access control directives. The entire generated .htaccess will not be Apache 2.2 compatible. On Apache 2.2, other Apache 2.4-specific directives may cause 500 errors.
