Efficient Htaccess Management for WordPress
WP Htaccess Editor is a free WordPress plugin designed for managing and editing the htaccess file directly from the WordPress admin dashboard. This tool simplifies the process of making changes, allowing users to edit, fix, and test htaccess files quickly and safely. A notable feature is the syntax error check that occurs before saving changes, ensuring that users can avoid common mistakes. Additionally, the plugin creates automatic backups of the htaccess file with each modification, making it easy to restore previous versions if necessary.
The plugin is compatible with WordPress Multisite (WPMU), appearing under the Settings menu in network administration. It is important to note that while the plugin provides a syntax check, it does not validate the logical correctness of redirects. For users facing SSL issues, the WP Force SSL plugin is recommended as a complementary tool. WP Htaccess Editor prioritizes user privacy, as it does not track or process any user data, aligning with GDPR compatibility.
