You can configure this using LocalFiles Editor plugin -> Local configuration.

For description, see [Github] Piwigo file include/config_default.inc.php@L589

$conf['question_mark_in_urls'] = false;
$conf['php_extension_in_urls'] = false;

For more meaningful category/picture names, use

$conf['category_url_style'] = 'id-name';
$conf['picture_url_style'] = 'id-name';

You webserver needs to be configured accordingly.

This has been asked 100 times before.

And nobody got a useful answer, so I figured it worth asking again.

Is there any information though as to what rewrites need to be in place? Those options seem to disable the ".php" part of the filename and the "?", but I can't see any example .htaccess files to see what the rewrites might be to make it all work. I found a few, such as /index/ being mapped to /index.php/, and "photos" appears in a few places in seemingly-random parts of the URI, sometimes preceded by category data and sometimes not. Does anyone have a working .htaccess file I can see?

thanks.
