EE 2.6: Strict URLs Enabled by Default
In new installations of ExpressionEngine (from 2.6 forward), the Strict URLs setting will be enabled by default.
From the EllisLab blog post announcing the change:
With ExpressionEngine 2.6 and up, Strict URLs will be enabled by default in new installations. Using the same example, http://example.com/site/about-us is the only valid URL for that content. Visiting http://example.com/about-us/ with Strict URLs enabled will trigger ExpressionEngine’s defined 404 behavior.
If you are updating, don’t worry, ExpressionEngine will honor your current Strict URL preference. With this minor change in ExpressionEngine 2.6, we’re encouraging best-practice by default.
Most of you probably already turn it on when you’re setting up a new site but now this best practice is the default behavior instead of an option.
Now if only index.php was removed by default…
