With RewriteRule I've always cleaned my URLs as following:
RewriteRule ^page/(.*)$ page.php?urlkey=$1 [QSA]
My new host doesn't allow me to use Options +FollowSymLinks and therefore I cannot use the / anymore. So I've changed my RewriteRule to:
RewriteRule ^page-(.*)$ page.php?urlkey=$1 [QSA]
However, I need to redirect all my former URLs to the new version. I tried doing this using the following rule:
RewriteRule ^page/(.*)$ page-(.*)$ [R=301,L]
This is however not working. I've also tried to just make a Redirect in my .htaccess:
Redirect 301 https://www.example.com/page/urlkey https://www.example.com/page-urlkey
This is also not working.
EDIT
As requested the actual code below:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^citywalk-(.*)$ citywalk.php?urlkey=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^citywalk/(.*)$ citywalk-(.*)$ [R=301,L]
For example the citywalk The Historical Centre has a urlkey the-historical-centre. The old url is citywalk/the-historical-centre.
To test this specific case and other technique:
Redirect 301 /citywalk/the-historical-centre https://example.com/citywalk-the-historical-centre
By visiting https://example.com/citywalk/the-historical-centre no redirecting takes place (the url stays the same in the browser) and no urlkey is found.

Part of my .htaccess code is as follows:
RewriteRule ^([A-Z]+)*$ nextlevels_state.php?state=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([A-Z]+)*/([0-9]+)$ nextlevels_state.php?state=$1&page=$2 [NC]
This basically redirects URL, example.com/XX to example.com/nextlevels_state.php?state=XX and example.com/XX/1 to example.com/nextlevels_state.php?state=XX&page=1 (internally).
Now, I would like to change the URL structure of the URL from example.com/XX to example.com/nextlevels/XX and example.com/XX/1 to example.com/nextlevels/XX/1
and I tried changing .htaccess to as follows:
RewriteRule ^nextlevels/([A-Z]+)*$ nextlevels_state.php?state=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^nextlevels/([A-Z]+)*/([0-9]+)$ nextlevels_state.php?state=$1&page=$2 [NC]
However, as the site urls are already indexed in search engines, I would like to know a way to redirect all the traffic from example.com/XX to example.com/nextlevels/XX (externally) using .htaccess .
Please guide me in this regard. Thank you community :)
Could you please try following, written and tested with shown samples only(improving your already done attempts here). Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
##Rule for redirect to url example.com/nextlevels/XX.
RewriteRule ^([A-Z]+)$ nextlevels/$1 [R=301]
RewriteRule ^nextlevels/([A-Z]+)/?$ nextlevels_state.php?state=$1 [NC,L]
##Rule for redirect to url example.com/nextlevels/XX/1.
RewriteRule ^([A-Z]+)*/([0-9]+)$ nextlevels/$1/$2 [R=301]
RewriteRule ^nextlevels/([A-Z]+)*/([0-9]+)$ nextlevels_state.php?state=$1&page=$2 [NC,L]
This is pretty simple, but can't seem to figure this out.
I have a url /shows/index.php?id=1 that I wanted to appear in the url as /shows/1/index.php.
So I added this to my htaccess:
RewriteRule ^shows/([0-9]*)/index.php$ /shows/index.php?id=$1 [L]
This worked like a charm. I can now navigate to /shows/1/index.php no problem at all. However, I can also still navigate to /shows/index.php?id=1. I wanted that page to automatically redirect to the new url, so I wrote this:
RewriteRule ^shows/index.php?id=([0-9]*)$ /shows/$1/index.php [R=301,L]
...but it doesn't do anything. However, if I do something like:
RewriteRule ^shows/([0-9]*)/0$ /shows/$1/index.php [R=301,L]
It redirects just fine. So that makes me think there is an issue with the first part of the rewrite rule, maybe? I'm not too familiar with this sort of stuff.
Since you want to redirect and rewrite the same request, you need to match against %{THE_REQUEST} variable otherwise you will get an infinite loop error on the redirect
RewriteEngine on
# redirect /shows/index.php?id=1 to /shows/1/index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /shows/index.php\?id=([^\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^shows/index.php$ /shows/%1/index.php? [NC,L,R]
#rewrite /shows/1/index.php to /shows/index.php?id=1
RewriteRule ^shows/([0-9]*)/index.php$ /shows/index.php?id=$1 [L]
Clear your browser cache before testing this.
I need to redirect old domain to new with .htaccess
Situation:
www.oldodmain.com/en/categoryA/product1
www.newdomain.com/en/categoryB
Result I am trying to achieve
www.newdomain.com/en/categoryB/categoryA/product1
Tried to do with this code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?voniospasaulis\.lt$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.+$ http://www.visaslabas.lt/lt/vonios-iranga/%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
But I get a result as follow:
www.newdomain.com/en/categoryB/en/categoryA/product1
I need to get rid of /en/before/categoryA to get url like this:
www.newdomain.com/en/categoryB/categoryA/product1
Your rule pattern has to start with en/ and should capture value after en/ in $1 that you can use in target:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?oldodmain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^en/(.+)$ http://www.newdomain.com/en/categoryB/$1 [L,NE,NC,R=301]
Also note that I have answered using dummy domain names instead of your actual domain names shown in question.
Make sure to clear your browser cache or use a new browser for testing.
A client has asked us to replicate all the content from an old domain (bcsbd.com) to their main domain (ywcacam.org), and also create redirects so the old URLs are still functional. Unfortunately, the URLs aren't exact matches, e.g., [olddomain]/about has become [newdomain]/about_soo_bahk_do. There are less than 10 specific URLs to handle, which we initially did successfully using Redirect statements in the old domain's htaccess file:
# redirect specific pages to page on new domain
Redirect /about http://www.ywcacam.org/about_soo_bahk_do
We also need a catch-all, so that any other requests go to a specific URL on the new domain, e.g., www.bcsbd.com/somefile becomes www.ywcacam.org/soo_bahk_do. We handled this using Rewrite statements:
# catch-all for any requests not specified above
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(bcsbd.com|www.bcsbd.com) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.ywcacam.org/soo_bahk_do [L]
Quick research showed the Rewrite directives (using mod_rewrite) would always be processed before the Redirect directives (using mod_alias). So we replaced the Redirects with Rewrites:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /about http://www.ywcacam.org/about_soo_bahk_do [L]
RewriteRule /programs http://www.ywcacam.org/programs_soo_bahk_do [L]
...
# catch-all for any requests not specified above
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(bcsbd.com|www.bcsbd.com) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.ywcacam.org/soo_bahk_do [L]
The problem is that just the catch-all is working - the new Rewrite rules are being ignored. What are we doing wrong in those statements?
Thanks in advance for the help!
I need to Rewrite the old urls generated by ISS to a new system we have build (Joomla).
The url's had to be google friendly. What we want to happen:
Rewrite http://example.com/test.asp?index=3 to http://example.com/about
I've used a few Rewrite's i knew, but they dont work:
RewriteRule ^/test.asp?index=3 / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/test.asp?index(.*)3 / [R=301,L
What pice of code am i missing/doeing wrong?
Kind regards.
You must use QUERY_STRING to check query string.
You can use this code in your htaccess (in document root folder)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^index=3$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^test\.asp$ /about [R=301,L]
Note: put this rule before Joomla's rules
