My .htaccess File is Messing Up awstats on Wordpress Blogs
I use DirectAdmin for my hosting control panel. There is a nice plugin to add awstats, but I’ve found they don’t work on sites where I have WordPress set up (such as this site) because I’m using permalinks. No worries though. I found a way to fix it. Just put the bolded line below in your .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/awstats.*$ [NC] [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
*Note: Replace “awstats” with the name of your stats location
