.htaccess RewriteRule在Wordpress上不起作用

Question

A client asked me to built them a site with WordPress. I'm not very good at WordPress so the solution may already be on here, but I've read about a dozen SO questions and haven't figured out an answer yet so I'd thought I'd post my own.

This is my .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^podcast/([^/]+)$ /podcast?slug=$1 [QSA,L] #I added this

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

With my file like this, it redirects me to my 404 page. Even though the URL is correct ( /podcast/word ) the browser console says it's a 404.

I then assumed if I added an "R=301" flag, it would work around that issue. But if I do this:

RewriteRule ^podcast/([^/]+)$ /podcast?slug=$1 [R=301,QSA,L]

Then my browser just takes me to /podcast?slug=word .

I'm not sure if this is caused by my .htaccess or if it's caused by the WordPress 404 file. On the off chance anybody wants to see it, my 404.php file is:

<?php get_header();  ?>

<section class="white">
    <div class="wrapper internal">
       <!--generic error message-->
    </div>
</section>

<?php get_footer(); ?>    

My .htaccess file worked fine when using Wolf CMS, but not with WordPress. Being as I'm still learning WordPress, any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT

I'm using the slug to reference a podcast from an RSS feed. I'm looking to turn http://example.com/podcast/?slug=example-podcast into http://example.com/podcast/example-podcast , but whenever I do that I get a 404.

Try to replace your .htaccess with this code.

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

# END WordPress

Example: if I had my wordpress inside a folder named 'a' as a sub directory then I will edit my .htaccess like this

# BEGIN WordPress
<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /a/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /a/index.php [L]
</ifmodule>

# END WordPress

Also you can set permalink to Post Name. This will fix if your url are define by a post name instead of php type of url.
