    @wperror500, our servers use NGINX, not Apache’s .htaccess, so this does not apply to sites on our servers.

    These forums are for sites on our servers. While your site wperror500.wordpress.com is hosted here, the site you’re describing is not. So the correct forums would be at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ .

    I’ve noticed you post a lot of these topics. We’ve mentioned before you need to mind the community standards. You’ll need to post these on your blog going forward, not here in our forums.
