Remove .html file extension with .htaccess

IsaacAdni

How do I remove the .html extension from my HTML files without putting them in different directories. I have tried to do this with the .htaccess file, but whenever I change my Vanilla Forums .htaccess, it messes up my forums. My forums are installed in my root directory.

Post the htacess file for vanilla, and do you have anything else installed in the root that has an htacess file ?

Where are your html files stored in?

Generally it is not a good idea to put two frameworks in the same folder you are asking for conflicts.

It is possible to put the odd static html file in root, you would have to do rules that logically asses if there is non-physical files which vanilla does, but first check if there is .html extension physical file of that file before the check for vanilla. You have have good knowledge of server rules to do that.

However it will get overwritten when you upgrade if you are not careful. You might as well just rename them without the extension.
