Hi @Filice,

I’m not sure I understand the question exactly. What I understand is that you wish your website to load without using the file’s extensions. For example, if you have a domain.com and someone loads the contact.php form to look like
domain.com/contact, is that correct?

Removing Extensions

To remove the .php extension from a PHP file for example yoursite.com/wallpaper.php to yoursite.com/wallpaper you have to add the following code inside the .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

If you want to remove the .html extension from a html file for example yoursite.com/wallpaper.html to yoursite.com/wallpaper you simply have to change the last line from the code above, to match the filename:

RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]

Regards,

    The problem that Im facing right now is that when I make a folder with the same name as a file like folder: images file: images.html, It will just go to the index of that directory, or for me, I made it so it goes to 403 because I disabled indexes. I have it so it gets rid of file extensions.

      Hi @Filice,

      Did you try replacing your .htaccess code with what my suggestion above, did it work or it got you to the above issue you are describing?

        I am not trying to get rid of file extensions as I already have that in my .htaccess. What Im trying to elucidate is that when making a folder with the same name as a html file, it goes to the folders index. 

        file: "example.html"
folder: "example"
Going to "www.domain.com/example" redirects to the folders index.

        You were talking about getting rid of file extensions but I already have that, its working but the problem is, is when going to the www.domain.com/example it redirects to the index of example folder instead of the example html file. Having no extensions causes this problem as they both have the same name.
