Wordpress SEO & Security Friendly .htaccess & Pugins

[Webnauts]

John, was wordpressdemo.com your domain?

What is that for a question man. Are you kidding me?

[williamc]

Not at all. It is all thru your posted .htaccess

### Require the www to avoid cannonicalization issues by Dan ###
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.wordpressdemo\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.wordpressdemo.com/$1 [L,R=301]

### Require to add trailing slash if not present to avoid cannonicalization issues ###
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.wordpressdemo\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.wordpressdemo.com/$1 [L,R]

### Redirect index.html to / ######
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.html?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.html?$ http://www.wordpressdemo.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Don't get me wrong here, the .htaccess rules are excellant, and well thought out, even if they do break apache under solaris and fbsd due to conflicts. I even notice 4 different coding styles in it.

Just trying to ascertain which parts are your own creativity

Do you have alternatives compatible to Solaris and FBSD for members who might need that?

Coding styles? My .htaccess is a collection of rules, which I wrote myself and got some stuff from other 2 guys I mentioned already to give them credits.

2 other sources? Then who exactly is Dan who contributed the canonical bits?

Sorry, I look at things as a whole and tend to see different styles of doing things due to that. What I meant was that there are 4 different thought processes going on in the code that you pasted. You attributed 2 of them, and a third is referenced in the code itself "Dan". I would assume you were the 4th.

Dan Johnson is the CTO of my company: Custom Web Design & Search Engine Marketing Consultants - SEO Workers

OK. So now we are 4. Perishable, AskApache, my CTO and me.

Happy now?

I think I should hire someone to make that in one style. maybe it will work better.

Man, I hope you are not serious. I do the members a favor here, and you go on picking me. I honestly don't get you after all. Sorry...

I think I should tell the admin to delete this thread so we can all be happy. Is that deal? I will PM him right away.

You are still missing the whole thing. I honestly think you should get some sleep mate. I was not picking on you. I was actually interested in knowing which parts were your own creativity. I had to ask because there were obviously (to me) 4 different styles. It was not meant to pick at you, merely to get to what I was interested in.

Remember, I am a coder, what other coders do always interests me. And I agree fully that the thread is a good one, however your idea of doing the whole thing by one person would probably find the conflicts and remedy them making the resulting code an even better treat for members.

I think you are right man. I am really over-tired.

Any improvement suggestions would be a great idea man. I did not know that you are coder though.

Would you go for it?

Thanks man.

You are indeed good and helpful. I gave you a Rep for this.

Now I will be checking how I should be implementing it to all my wordpress sites. Seems to be quite lengthy and hopefully it will not affect the speed loading.

Thanks for being so nice to share.

Thanks for the link webnauts, can you suggest a good alternative of spam karma because it's no longer supported now? I am currently using akismat.

I still have Spam Karma installed as long it works. Askimet, Bad Behaviour and Honeypot are the best I know.
