Wordpress remove the index.php in urls

[nullx8]

i have set up wordpress in a seperate context virtual host based .. as the installation is outise the directory ..
everything works fine but i can not get the rewrite rules to work so i can drop the index.php inside the urls ..

could anyone help me on that ?

i have a context set up with

• Accessible: Yes
• Index Files: index.php
  
• Auto Index: no
  
• Enable Rewrite: Yes
  
• Rewrite Inherit: no
  
• Rewrite rules:
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ./index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
  

i tried a few other ways to call index.php with a parameter .. but none of them actually worked ..

RewriteRule ./index.php/$1 [QSA,L]

the syntax looks wrong. how about
RewriteRule (.*) ./index.php [QSA,L]
?

no that i tersted before .. the current setting is just to make it work with the index.php in the path

if i use your suggestion and use a link with a Questionmark in it .. it works . but friendly names without a ? in it do not work for some reason
i do then see the default page outside the context .. which is kind of strange (meaning instead of loading anything inside the context it loads the default page of the VH_ROOT

So you want WordPress to handle pages like example.com/2017/09/22/hello-world/ instead of example.com/index.php?253 ?

If so make sure Permalinks are enabled in WordPress and try the following rules:

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

hello and thanks for the suggestion
wordpress is running in a subfolder deep inside the structure.
so i created a context called /wblog
the context has default document index.php
rewrite enabled
and Rewrite Inherit false
the ruses are exactly the same as you suggested:

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

since this is a context i would not need the directory to be mentioned

however once i remove the /index.php/ from the permalink settings .. the wordpress root will be loaded just fine, but ALL links will take forever and then the root page will be loaded (welcome page)
i attaching the context settings (which are VERY straigt forward)
