correct mod_rewrite rules for monthly archives?

  • Hi all,
    I think my mod_rewrite rules for monthly archives are somehow messed up. I didn’t change anything, but they don’t work:

    Since I can’t read the syntax, it would be very nice if somebody could either send me working rules and tell me which one of the following are responsible for the error:

    # BEGIN WordPress

  • This is your monthly archive rule:
    RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{1,2})/?$ /wp/index.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2 [QSA,L]

    Manually specifying the year and month works:
    https://iroke.de/wp/index.php?year=2005&monthnum=7

    My guess is that this rule, at the top of your list, is causing trouble:
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/(..)/?$ /wordpress/$1/?cl_lang=$2 [QSA]

    That says zero or more characters, followed by a slash and exactly two characters, followed by an optional slash …

    Can you comment that bit out, and see if it works?

    I did – the archive seems to work now, thank you very much ??
    What was the reason for that rule
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/(..)/?$ /wordpress/$1/?cl_lang=$2 [QSA]
    to be inserted in the htaccess in the first place? I mean, if the devs decided to leave it in there, I guess it served a purpose…?

    Looks like there’s a glitch in the templating system, but I’ll see to iron that out then I’ll be glad to move over from blogger ??
