I'm working on a wordpress website. Here is my .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule "abc/" "new-url-abc/" [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
So, using as input url https://foo.bar/abc/ the output url is https://foo.bar/new-url-abc/
This rule is correctly applied but can't reach output url. I get ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.
I have to comment this rewrite url otherwise I can't even reach https://foo.bar/new-url-abc/ directly.

I am working on a hacked site that has thousands of 404 errors now that I have fixed it. I want to redirect everything in the folders that were from the hack back to the home page. For example, this is one of the hacked urls:
http://www.truckeeriverrock.com/scategory/aqrqxjfo-x10001-zlggclj/whlhgxtx-y298119-bucavsa/
I am trying to do this via the .htaccess file. It is a wordpress website so I already have some standard rewrite rules. Basically I tried the following but it breaks the site with an internal server error:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^scategory/(.*) http://www.truckeeriverrock.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^whosonline/(.*) http://www.truckeeriverrock.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^admintools/(.*) http://www.truckeeriverrock.com/$1 [R=301,L]]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
If I take out the following rewrite rules it works but of course it doesn't redirect:
RewriteRule ^scategory/(.*) http://www.truckeeriverrock.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^whosonline/(.*) http://www.truckeeriverrock.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^admintools/(.*) http://www.truckeeriverrock.com/$1 [R=301,L]]
Could someone help me with my rules?
Keep your 301 rules before default WP rules.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^scategory/(.*) http://www.truckeeriverrock.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^whosonline/(.*) http://www.truckeeriverrock.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^admintools/(.*) http://www.truckeeriverrock.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
This is because WP rule changes REQUEST_URI to /index.php hence your rules fail to match given patterns.
I'm having a problem with my URL and my sessions.
I wish to have ALL website pages be forced to use www. As it looks like now, the website looks like this:
www.example.com into www.example.com
example.com into www.example.com
www.example.com/example/ into www.example.com/example/
example.com/example into example.com/example (this is what's wrong)
This is what my .htaccess file looks like:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^wewent\.net
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.wewent.net/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Because the URL does not redirect properly I get double up with sessions one for www and one for the website without. How can I prevent this the best way?
It seems to look ok but one thing you should do is always put your other rules before the wordpress rules as a habit. When using wordpress it should generally be the last set of rules since it does all the routing. Now for the redirect, you should probably use 302temporary which will remove any current cache and verify that your redirects are working properly. Then you can change it to 301 for permanent once it's working correctly.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.wewent\.net [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.wewent.net/$1 [L,R=302,NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I am using wordpress and need to redirect wp-login?action=register to /registration/ page,
first i did
Redirect /wp-login.php http://www.class-world.com/register/
but then it also keeps redirecting logout wp-login.php?action=logout so cant logout at all.
My question is how to only redirect action=register, instead of whole wp-login.php
I tried with following:
RewriteRule ^/wp-login.php\?action=register$ /register/
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^/wp-login.php\?action=register$ /register/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
but no luck
Try this code :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^action=register
RewriteRule ^wp-login\.php$ /register/ [R=301]
I'm trying to make it so that anything at /about goes to /our-story.
I think my .htaccess redirect rule is correct for this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
The line is here:
RewriteRule ^about.*$ http://domain.com/our-story/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
However it doesn't seem to work. My suspicion is that this is due to Wordpress being active. I tried to put it inside the Wordpress block though, and still it doesn't work.
What do I have to do to redirect from /about to /our-story?
The rule is correct, but they need to go before the wordpress rules because you are redirecting while the wordpress rules routes everything into /index.php. Any request URI that starts with /about will end up getting routed to wordpress and thus never get redirected. Just switch the order:
RewriteRule ^about.*$ http://domain.com/our-story/ [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I tried googling this problem about a site do not open without www in chrome, But it works on other browser, here's my .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.mydomain\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
You have mistake in your .htaccess file. You activate rewrite engine twice. Your .htaccess file has to be like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.mydomain\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Update:
You can't open your site in chrome without www. because your .htaccess file contains redirection rule, what redirects your visitors from mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com. This rule is used for SEO, read through Redirection SEO Best Practices article (especially Redirecting Canonical Hostnames paragraph) to become more familiar with it.
