If you use Wordpress to generate your Rewrite rules for clean URLs, make sure you add the following to the top of your RewriteConds or all external links will fail. Trust me, I just realized this when I clicked on commenter links and Apache thought I was conducting a seach for “something” within this blog.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^technosailor\.com [NC]
Obviously, change technosailor\.com to your own domain name. in the format of fully\.qualified\.domain\.name.
Translation: Look at the domain name and if it isn’t technosailor.com, then continue on with the rewrite rules which make Wordpress function with clean URLs. However, if it is the same, then go ahead and process the rules since we are apparently still at this blog.
Stumble it!
