ReWrite Engine On and menu Pulldown Arrows

Post by briterpencil » Sun Nov 24, 2024 5:16 pm

Joomlsa Joomla! 5.1.2. Long story short. I keep getting a logo of redirects from WP with different variations of WP

I did find an option to added a re-write to the htaccess file

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /wp*
    RewriteRule ^ https://www.instagram.com/2bpdesign [L,R]
    
it works but it messes with the menu pulldown arrows and breaks icon in the Joomla backend

Site with code added: https://everplay.com

site without: https://playgroundadvisory.com

Extension Joomshaper SPpagebuilder

Any suggestion as to why this would happend

I'm not seeing the problem described - I see the small arrows downward-pointing "accent" character on both sites.

Perhaps, switch to the .htaccess that came with Joomla (the htaccess.txt file), then enable the SEF options in Joomla global config and rename htaccess to .htaccess.

I don't know what teh Wordpress redirect issue is.

Have you any value in the "live site" variable in the configuration.php - if so remove any value there and leave that "empty". the line should end with the two single quotes and semi-colon.
