A couple of mod_rewrite questions

    Firstly, one to do with the EzStatic plugin. Does anybody know the mod_rewrite rules to get ‘friendly’ URLs with this plugin? I tried the suggestion on the documentation page, but it didn’t work.

    And also, presumably changing the permalink structure affects img tags in the same way a href tags are affected? If so, what do I need to do to sort it?

    Thanks.

    Don’t use EzStatic, so no idea to issues within your first Q.

    The smartest way to handle image paths is to begin at the root (or provide an absolute path/URL). Relative paths like

    images/example.jpg
    ../images/example.jpg

    Will typically break with the virtual directory structure custom Permalinks generates. Instead one should use:

    /images/example.jpg (initial slash designates path starts at site root)
    http://my.site/images/example.jpg
