.htacces resets itself a couple of minutes after upload

    So, whats up with this?

    I upload my .htacces file and it looks like this: 

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*\.htm$
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]*)\.htm $1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]*)\.htm $1
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    And it works fine for a while, then after a couple of minutes it’s back to this:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Does wordpress resets the htacces? Do I have to move my added rewrite rules out of the BEGIN and END wordpress “tags”?

    Yes and yes. Don’t put your code inside the #BEGIN and #END lines and WordPress won’t touch it. Put your own rules before the WordPress rules.

    Ok, cool, so do I move only the lines with my rewrite rules, like this (btw, doesn’t look right!?) :

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*\.htm$
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]*)\.htm $1 [L,R=301]

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    Or do I need the “starting” things to? Like this:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*\.htm$
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]*)\.htm $1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    …or, maybe something else?

    No, like this, right!? 🙂

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*\.htm$
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]*)\.htm $1 [L,R=301]

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress
</IfModule>
