Can any one assist. If I was to use .htaccess redirect, I noticed that Wappler write to that .htaccess file and removes any previously manual entries in the .htaccess.
Is there any way to have Wappler code and manual code co=exist in the .htaccess?
Wappler does not remove the entries in the htaccess.
Most probably the htaccess on your server was not downloaded locally and you overwrote it on the server with the locally created one.
If you have some rules added in your htaccess then download it locally so Wappler can add its rules after the existing ones.
