Standard WordPress .htaccess

The default WordPress .htaccess works without modifications:

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

Plugin-Generated Rules

WordPress plugins typically add rules to .htaccess for:

Plugin Type	Directives Used
Security (AIOS, Wordfence)	`<FilesMatch>`, `Require`, `Order/Deny`, `<Files>`
Cache (W3TC, WPSC)	`ExpiresByType`, `Header set Cache-Control`, `AddType`
SEO (Yoast, Rank Math)	`Redirect`, `RewriteRule`
SSL (Really Simple SSL)	`RewriteCond %{HTTPS}`, `RewriteRule [R=301]`
Image (WebP Express)	`RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT}`, `AddType`

All of these are fully supported by LiteHTTPD.

PHP Configuration

For WordPress-specific PHP settings in .htaccess:

php_value upload_max_filesize 64M
php_value post_max_size 64M
php_value memory_limit 256M
php_flag display_errors Off

These require Patch 0001 to take effect via lsphp.
