htaccess | Apache | Best Practice | WordPress Plugins | Allowoverride

Since Apache recommends to for best practice and performance to use Allowoverride None.

How should I map certain wordpress plugins (SuperCache, All in one wp-security, better permalinks) to allow them to write to htaccess if I will not have an htaccess file in the root folder?

    You need to go to this directory: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
    and find for 

    <Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
</Directory>

    and simply change it to 

    AllowOverride All

    If you are running WordPress, you must have AllowOverride set to All in order for the base WordPress to work.

    The way to look at it is that Apache is listing the best practices for a safe base Apache installation for any kind of website. However, if you have a reason to do something such as turn on AllowOverride to allow WordPress and plugins to work, then that is OK. It is on for a purpose.
