Hey @gappiah, thanks for helping

I am running apache, its on a VM not in docker, it is behind a nginx proxy

I’ve managed to get this working now though I had mod_rewrite enabled I needed to set the default directory in the apache config to AllowOverride All otherwise regardless of what the actual virtualhost config was it was ignoring all .htaccess files, when i tried setting this in the virtualhosts it threw exceptions but in the main config file it seems fine

The answer from FrankPl below was the key https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9153262/tips-for-debugging-htaccess-rewrite-rules

I worked out that the .htaccess wasn’t working by enabling apache logging for it and adding a simple redirect from a random url on my site to a shortened one

From the apache doco
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html#logging
Then watching the logs with tail -f error_log|fgrep '[rewrite:'

When there was no output i was sure there had to be something misconfigured and then stumbled on the stack overflow post after 3-4 tries

Thanks for your help everything works again for awhile 😉

Thankyou yes that does seem to be the issue, i think i have a vague memory of trying to reduce the whitespace around the posts 4 years ago or so

How can I move the tags below the content or disable them completely? they don’t seem very useful I’d rather keep that space for the content
