[COLOR=“DarkOrchid”]A few months back, I received some very good advice from a few pros here, and one piece was to remove any mention of redirects from when I changed over from X-Cart. At the time I did check everything out and it seemed I did delete any reference. But today just out of curiosity I peeked at my .htaccess file. Can anyone tell me if the coding on the .htaccess below is correct ? I have 2 domains affectionately-yours & artstyle-caketops. There seems to be quite a bit more in this document than the one in the ArtStyle Caketops directory.
My traffic is down another 2/3 from when I made the above changes. I have gone from about 1000 visitors a day with X-Cart to between 100 & 200 presently. I really need some help !
Thanks much in advance[/COLOR]

Some hostings require RewriteBase to be uncommented
Example:
Your store url is [url]http://www.yourcompany.com/store/cart[/url]
So “RewriteBase” should be:
RewriteBase /store/cart
RewriteBase /
