I decided to reinstall the theme I’m using for my site, so WordPress is up to date once again.

I’m in the FTP, and it states the .htaccess file was last updated on January 19, 2012. Reading the file itself, it states this:

===
# Use PHP5 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

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

# END WordPress
===

This is the first time I’ve dealt with .htaccess files. Is there anything here that would make it redirect? Is there more than one .htaccess within a full directory of a site? Can this file be removed if need be? I have not changed anything, I simply read the file.

The redirect to other sites in a few of the tags and/or directories has been the only problem I’ve had. Never had an issue with anything on WordPress until this, so other than that, everything is working smoothly.
