How to create an SEO friendly URL like example.com/pages/my-first-page/followers here I want how to create a structure in if(isset($_GET['followers'])){...} and htaccess file.
My link working fine till example.com/pages/my-first-page/ but now I want to add followers section.
I hope i explain well what I expecting. Thanks for your help
Rule you've suggested is this:
RewriteRule ^pages/([\w-]+)/followers/?$ page.php?pages=$1&followers=1 [QSA,NC,L]
This is pretty good rule and there is no reason why it should not work. Make sure this rule is placed before page rule which is your first rule in .htaccess

I'm having some difficulty creating an htaccess mod_rewrite rule which would take the following URL:
http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?route=product/search&filter_name=SEARCH%20CRITERIA
and make it something more along the lines of:
http://www.mydomain.com/search/SEARCH-CRITERIA
or even
http://www.mydomain.com/search?filter_name=SEARCH%20CRITERIA
Everything I've tried seems to break the SEO-friendly URLs that are auto-generated by the Opencart framework. How can this be done?
In Your .htaccess file place the rules directly behind the lines used to rewrite sitemap.xml and googlebase.xml and before the last general rule.
The rule could look like:
RewriteRule ^search\/(.*)$ index.php?route=product/search&filter_name=$1
- did not test it, it is just a guess.
Also showing us what have You tried would be highly appreciated.
I'm trying to redirect some files and I'm pretty stuck. There are way too many to do some of them on a "page-per-page" basis and so I need a quick way as these pages are insignificant but return 404's at the moment.
I have a page like this "/old-blog/tag/page", I previously redirected the "old-blog" to "new-blog" so I get "/new-blog/tag/page" but now I want "tag" and all pages after this to be sent to "new-blog". I hope this example makes sense, please ask if I've missed something.
I'm doing my redirects with my .htaccess file so I'd like a method I can use with this in mind.
Thanks, Dan.
You may already have rewrite rules, if there are rules that do some type of routing, then mod_rewrite and mod_alias is going to conflict (RedirectMatch is mod_alias). So try sticking with just mod_rewrite. Try adding these rules, above any other rules, in the htaccess file in your document root:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?old-blog/tag /new-blog/ [L,R=301]
I have been researching redirects for a few days now and am still struggling, so I decided to post my first question here. For some reason, it is just not clicking for me.
I have redesigned and developed a client's WordPress site and need to update it's structure.
The site's current structure is:
www.domain.com/blog/postname/2011/12/26/
The new structure should be:
www.domain.com/blog/postname
I really thought this was going to be easy since all I am looking to do is drop the date, but have not been able to grasp the whole wildcard aspect and how to end what I am trying to match. Any help would be greatly appreciated. A simple answer is great, but an explanation would be even better.
I am assuming you already know how to change your WordPress permalink structure to drop the date.
To 301 redirect all of the old URLs to the new ones, add the following rules to your .htaccess file in the root of your websites domain, ahead of any existing rules that are there.
#if these 2 lines already exist, skip them and add the rest
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# if there is a request of the form /blog/post-name/yyyy/mm/dd/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/blog/[^/]+/)[0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/$ [NC]
#redirect the request to the URL without the date
RewriteRule . %1 [L,R=301]

This one's beyond my ability I'm afraid and after much research and breaking things I've come for help. I have a site with a URL in the format of:
example.com/7865/travel-photo/my-amazing-photo
My client has now decided he'd like to add an 's' onto photos so the URL has become:
example.com/7865/travel-photos/my-amazing-photo
All great and that alone wouldn't have been a problem only for the fact that the number '7865' changes for each URL just like the 'my-amazing-photo' does. The basic structure of the new URL needs to be:
example.com/'number variable'/travel-photos/'article name variable'
So my question how does write a beautiful htaccess mod rewrite rule for that?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/travel-photos/(.*) $1/travel-photo/$2
I've been searching google for this but can't find the solution to my exact needs. Basically I've already got my URL's named how I like them i.e. "http://mysite.com/blog/page1.php"
What I'm trying to achieve (if it's possible!) is to use rewrite to alter the existing URLS to: "http://mysite.com/blog/page1"
The problem I've come across is I've found examples that will do this if the user enters "http://mysite.com/blog/page1" into the broweser which is great, however I need it to work for the existing links in google as not to loose traffic, so incoming URLS "http://mysite.com/blog/page1.php" are directed to "http://mysite.com/blog/page1".
The 1st example (Canonical URLs) at the following is pretty much what you want:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html#url
This should do the trick, rewriting requests without .php to have it, invisible to the user.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/blog/([^.]+)$ /blog/$1.php
You will need to write a rewrite rule for mapping your old url's to your new url as a permanent redirect. This will let the search engine know that the new, seo friendly url's are the ones to be used.
RewriteRule blog/page1.php blog/page1 [R=301,L]
