Re: Accessing media redirects to 404 error
I’m not a RegEx pro, but looking at the above rules more carefully, something still doesn’t seem right to me.
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
– URLs ending with ‘files/’ go to the home page. (doesn’t apply)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
– Make an exception for urls in the plugins folder (doesn’t apply)
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]
– Urls with ‘files’ get directed to blogs.php?file=… This seems closer, but it’s not actually being directed to blogs.php (or maybe it is, and it’s being directed back to the image the the file variable still appended).
