   Bit of an advanced question, possibly, but here goes.

   I have a shopping cart within a WP installation

   I've found some mod rewrite code that will change the urls of the shopping cart to nicer-looking urls

   http://www.mysite.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=monitor

   goes to

   http://www.mysite.co.uk/monitor

   However, this now rewrites the single posts in WordPress and sends me back into the shopping cart error page.

   Has anyone got the skill to disentangle this problem for me?

   Options +FollowSymLinks
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)(/)?$ proddetail.php?prod=$1 [L]
   RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /proddetail\.php\?prod=([^&]+)\ HTTP/
   RewriteRule ^proddetail\.php$ http://www.mysite.co.uk/%1? [R=301,L]
   
   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   Hi,

   Add this in htaccess:

   # BEGIN WordPress

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   # END WordPress

   Thanks,

   Shane G.

   Thanks Shane, that didn't work but I got round it by creating a different custom permalink structure /%postname%.php

   Somehow, by pot luck, that did it.

   Now I've discovered that the cart code produces a url without a trailing slash. If I add a trailing slash I get a duplicate page. How can I make non-trailing slash and a trailing slash resolve to the same page?

   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)(/)?$ proddetail.php?prod=$1 [L]
   RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /proddetail\.php\?prod=([^&]+)\ HTTP/
   RewriteRule ^proddetail\.php$ http://www.mysite.co.uk/%1? [R=301,L]
