Add this to your .htaccess file.

Options +MultiViews +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L,NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L,NC]

If you don’t have an .htaccess file, create one with that content in your htdocs folder.

what ?

[TigerMANEK426]

Just a thanks to @alexvf for using the code I put together

[Charlie12]

oh can i also say it didnt work! why didnt it?

[TigerMANEK426]

It should work, as its the code I used when using this hosting. Could share what you have put in your .htaccess file?

[Charlie12]

yes!

[TigerMANEK426]

You cannot edit that .htaccess file. If you read the comments at the top of the file, it clearly says create a new file in /htdocs/. So make a new .htaccess file in /htdocs/ and put the code in that.

[Charlie12]

ok but do i need to remove the other ones?

[Charlie12]

i mean do i need to remove the
warning or keep and what
do i need to keep and not to

@Charlie12

give me what i need to do plzz

Let me add a little detail to what @anon19508339 said.

#1: remove the code provided by @alexvf in the .htaccsss file you showed us above. Than save and close the file.

#2: copy & paste the .htaccess file into the htdocs folder

#3: open the new .htaccess file and delete everything inside of it.

#4: add the code provided by @alexvf (and written by @TigerMANEK426) to the now empty .htaccess file.

#5: save changes and close

#6: clear your cache on your internet browser and try loading you site.

Hope this was helpful!
