    Hello

    I found a strange command in my .htaccess file and I don't know what it does. Can someone tell me what this is?

    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]


    Thanks

    That is not a strange command. It simply means to rewrite whatever URL starting with index.php.
    Ignore it and i guess its wordpress default.

    Actually wordpress stores all .htaccess rules in database. If you are still worried, go to permalinks settings and update the rules.

    Yeah I think it tells the browser not to display folder/index.php and rather display folder/
