I have a .htaccess rule that adds trailing slash if the request is without it.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [L,R=301]
I want to suspend the rule for the file sitemap.xml. That means I want to keep the adding slash rule for every request but sitemap.xml file.
Is it possible?

I've modified my .htaccess file to force trailing slashes on all the pages but I'm wondering how to remove the trailing slash in a particular url page? Need help. For example:
abc.com/test successfully redirects to abc.com/test/
But I want to remove that force trailing slash in a particular url of the site,
abc.com/demo/ should redirect to abc.com/demo
Here what I have done so far:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/demo/
RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$ /$1$2/ [L,R=301]
Update:
To remove trailing slashes for multiple urls what would be the code, eg abc.com/demo2/ abc.com/demo3/ abc.com/demo4/ etc.. Any suggestions?
Try :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/demo/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^demo/$ /demo [L,R]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/demo [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$ /$1$2/ [L,R=301]
I have setup my .htaccess to add a trailing slash to each URL, but having done this I can see that my Google Analytics conversions (goal type is 'Destination') do not work.
The page I'm trying to track is:
/thank-you/contact/
And the trailing slash gets added by .htaccess if not already there. In GA I have told it to track 'Begins with' /thank-you/contact, 'Equals /thank-you/contact/' etc. Nothing works.
If I comment out the .htaccess rule that adds the trailing slash the conversion tracking immediately starts working again. Have I got some kind of bad config in my .htaccess?
RewriteEngine On
# add trailing slash
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.co.uk/$1/ [L,R=301]
#remove www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
#remove index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
Try regular expression condition with goal settings
thank-you\/contact.*
trailing .* would match or zero and unlimited characters
I am amending my htaccess file to achieve non-www to www (this is working) plus removing the trailing slash at the end of the URL, e.g.:
www.domain.bc.ca/club/ ---> www.domain.bc.ca/club
www.domain.bc.ca/club/index.html/ ---> www.domain.bc.ca/club/index.html
The portion of the htaccess file is below - the Force www bit is working; the Remove trailing slash bit is not. Help! Many thanks, Amanda.
# Force www.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.bc\.ca$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
#
# Remove trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you're trying to access a directory when this happens. In your example, the "club" seems to be a directory and when you redirect /club/ to /club, a module called mod_dir will redirect it back to having the trailing slash again. There's a really good reason for this, because if the trailing slash is missing for a directory, the directory's contents will be displayed instead of the index file. That means if you were able to go to www.domain.com/club (without the trailing slash), you'd see all the contents of the club directory instead of the club/index.html file.
If that's ok with you, then you can turn off mod_dir by adding this to your htaccess file:
DirectorySlash Off
But then you'd need to internally add the slash back in:
DirectorySlash Off
# Force www.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.bc\.ca$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
#
# Remove trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
# Add the slash back
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ /$1/ [L]
I've got the following rewrite rules in my .htaccess, the first 4 lines are supposed to deal with allowing to access the site without index.php, and works fine, until I add the last bit which I'm trying to use to remove trailing slashes from the sites URLs.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5})$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond $1 !^(uploads|cache|themes|default|admin\.php|favicon\.ico|robots\.txt|index\.php) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1
# Remove trailing slashes
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
When I add the last line, and I visit the root of my site, the index.php part gets appended to the URL, why is this?
When I add the last line, and I visit the root of my site, the index.php part gets appended to the URL, why is this?
This is because the rules are applied sequentially. You want the redirect to happen before you route stuff to /index.php. Just swap those rules around:
# Remove trailing slashes
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5})$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond $1 !^(uploads|cache|themes|default|admin\.php|favicon\.ico|robots\.txt|index\.php) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
Following rules are work for me.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#Removing trailing slash
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R]
#Removing index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=302,NE,L]
I'm trying to force a trailing slash to my URLs, but I can't make it work the way I want. This is my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
#Force trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1/ [L,R=301]
#Subdomains
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^/.]+)\.example\.com$
RewriteCond $1/%1 !^([^/]+)/\1$
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)? /%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
#Point everything to page.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond $1 !^(.*).(php|css|js|png|jpg|gif|htm|html)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ page.php?q=$1 [L,NC]
If I go to "en.example.com/about" I'm redirected to "en.example.com/en/about/", which is an invalid page.
How can I make this work?
The problem here is that the L flag causes a restart of the rewriting process with the rewritten URL (I’ve already told you that, didn’t I?):
Remember, however, that if the RewriteRule generates an internal redirect (which frequently occurs when rewriting in a per-directory context), this will reinject the request and will cause processing to be repeated starting from the first RewriteRule.
Now when /about is requested, the first rule get’s applied and redirects to /about/. The subsequent request of /about/ is then processed, at first the third rule is applied and the URL path is rewritten to /page.php. So far, so good.
But now the internal redirect takes place and the rewriting process is restarted with the new URL path /page.php. This is then fetched by the first rule again and redirected externally to /page.php/.
The second rule shouldn’t be applied at all as the pattern ^/ should never match as the per-directory path prefix is removed before testing the pattern when using mod_rewrite in an .htaccess file:
When using the rewrite engine in .htaccess files the per-directory prefix (which always is the same for a specific directory) is automatically removed for the pattern matching and automatically added after the substitution has been done.
But these rules should work:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .*[^/]$ /$0/ [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^/.]+)\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %1 !=www [NC]
RewriteCond $0/%1 !^([^/]+)/\1$
RewriteRule ^[^/]* /%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=www.example.com [NC]
RewriteCond $1 !.*\.(php|css|js|png|jpg|gif|htm|html)$
RewriteRule .* page.php?q=$0 [L]
