I typed the following code into my htaccess file:

Options +MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html

My file extensions are still showing up on my site. I tried renaming all my files without the .html and changing the links in my actual code, all to no avail. Has anyone else been able to figure this out?

Hello,

Thank you for your question on removing html file extensions. The code we have given those who want to remove extensions is below, there is one for php and one for html.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html

Give that a try and you should be fine. Keep in mind if someone types in the .html extension it still may show up. This is largely to allow the use (links, URLs,etc) to be used with or without the extension.

Kindest Regards,
Scott M

How are so many people so stupid? I mean, you can't remove the extension, since if you do that, the browser won't know how should it render the specified file, will it be .txt, .html, .htm, .css, .js, etc...

And no, there isn't a script which works. If anyone was wondering.
