If you activate page 404 in wx5, programm change htaccess automatically..
Hi James,
For me this issue has never been fixed... My .Htacces is always rewritten with 15.1.1 too

In ver 16 where do you de-activate page 4004???????
Hey James,
here in your plan...
Hey Aleksey, you are not right... Here my 404 page is not activated (pro 15.1.1) and systematically .htaccess is re-writing
So others things disturb WSX5

well, it means another "surprise" from incomedia developers ....
can you prevent the modification of htaccess on the server .... then the program will not be able to overwrite it ....
Already explained here.

Hi James.
I've verified this functionality again, and I can seem to encounter the same issue you're mentioning. In the past, a similar issue was mentioned, but it wasn't clear as to what seemed to be happening on the specific file.
The software will handle the 404 parameter by itself.
This means that whatever you try to manually override there will be overwritten.
This shouldn't be true though for whatever other line you might have in there.
Essentially, the software should take care of the 404 value, without ever changing the rest. If it does for you, could you attach here the contect of the htaccess file and how it changes after an export? Maybe the answer to this issue is there
keep me posted
Thank you
