My Mind is Blown [Warning: Geeky Post, OK To Ignore]


If you use a custom URL permalink structure on WordPress, it will work without any mod_rewrite rules or .htaccess files. All you do is point your server’s 404 error page to index.php and it works.Jasontaught me this. Guy’s brilliant with php and WordPress, so I should have believed him, but I needed to see it for myself.

I decided to learn all about lighttpd, since Apache is a bit of a memory hog and I already know how it works inside out. The concept of mod_rewrite and .htaccess is 100% different on lighttpd, so I was like.. shit! how am I going to run WordPress. Welp, it was very easy!

I completely don’t even understand how it’s possible.This is some kind of dark magic. This is devil’s work.
