Here's my .htaccess code

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] RewriteRule ^/question/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ /question/?questionid=$1&title=$2 [NC,L] </IfModule>

Since your using Wordpress you can turn on permalinks which takes care of the url friendly urls for you see https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Permalinks_Screen.

Login to your admin then go to permalinks and set a preferred style.

example.com/index.php/question/9/how-to-rewite-htaccess doesn't match your rewrite rule because the rule has a trailing /. Change the regex (first) part of your rewrite rule to:

^/question/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?$

Adding ? makes the trailing / optional.

Once you go to setting > permalinks and set the pretty links, WordPress will automatically generate .htaccess based on the setting you choose. Don't forget to save.
