    Hey ladies and Gens,

    Can someone help me on how to get rid of .html on the end of a site.

    For example,
    I want www.domain.com/contactus.html
    to
    www.domain.com/contactus


    Help would be appreciated.

    Best Wishies,

    Davo

    If you knew a little PHP program, then I suggest that you can download a Wordpress, it can achieve what you said path.

    There is 2 way you can do here :

    1. Create a folder name 'contactus' under your domain.com. Rename your 'contactus.html' to 'index.html'. Then upload the newly rename file to 'contactus' folder.

    2. Use mod_rewrite. You need to edit your .htaccess file to this :

    
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html
    Code (markup):

    Also need to create. htaccess file on your website root directory.

    .htaccess file contents:

    <verbatim>
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress
    </verbatim>
