    Try it like this instead:

    Options -MultiViews

    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteRule ^projects/([^/.]+)/?$ project-detail.php?p=$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^category/([0-9a-zA-z]+)/?$ category-detail.php?c=$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^post/([^/.]+)/?$ post-detail.php?p=$1 [L]

    RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
    RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.php [L]
    (Although post-detail.php does not seem to exist on your site.)

    If your .htaccess file is not working on cPanel, you can try the following steps to resolve the issue:

    1 - Check the syntax: Make sure your .htaccess file has the correct syntax and there are no errors in it.

    Ensure .htaccess is allowed: cPanel may have an option to disable .htaccess files, check if this option is enabled for your account.

    Verify mod_rewrite is enabled: mod_rewrite is required for .htaccess files to work. You can check if it's enabled by creating a PHP file with the following code and accessing it through your browser:

    <?php
    phpinfo();
    ?>

    Search for mod_rewrite in the output, it should be enabled.

    4 - Restart Apache: Restarting Apache may also resolve the issue.

    Contact your host: If none of the above steps work, you can contact your host and ask for assistance.

    If the issue persists, it's best to consult with a developer or a server administrator to diagnose the problem further.
