Hide page extensions in URLs

This is a way to remove page extensions from your website URLs.
For example if your site link is-
http://lucknowwebs.com/page.php
it will now look
http://lucknowwebs.com/page

There are a bunch of reasons you'd want to do this, mainly:

1) It looks cleaner and easier to read and remember
2) By using search-engine–friendly URLs, you're Google PageRank will increase and will increase your website's findability
3) It makes your website environment-independent, so if you ever decide to change the technology your site uses, everything would appear seamless to your visitors.

This applies to html, htm, asp, aspx,php and shtml

The best part is, you can still access the page with .php (or any extension) on the end of it, so no old incoming links or bookmarks become orphaned as a result of this, and everyone is happy!

Caution: This uses .htaccess, go through the 'readme' file before using this extension

Good to know you find the extension useful

I placed it on all my pages and published my website, but the extension is still showing. My server is supporting htaccess, but when I look at the files on the server, there's no htaccessfile.

THX!

Drag the extension on any one of the page of your project and then upload as "upload all"
You will not see the htaccess file unless you check on "show hidden files" on your server

Hi, do i add this extention on every page or can i just add it in masterpage?

On any one of your pages

I also tried it but without success. There following code effectively gets included in the htaccess file:

#WB extension by http://lucknowwebs.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.htm -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.htm
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.asp -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.asp
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.aspx -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.aspx
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.shtml -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.shtml
#WB extension by http://lucknowwebs.com


However no effect on the URL display is currently happening.

Thank for the extension.
I think its not working, the page extensions still showing
htacess is inside the root folder on my ftp.

I think I wrote this earlier...
This extension doesnt hide extensions as such!
Once this extension is installed....
a link
can also be reached through So the page is now reachable via both the links.
