I hope I am asking this questions correctly, if I am not, please feel free to correct me.
I am trying to redirect 301 via htaccess file for all user profiles within the same site so for example. The first section shows the actual URLs I want to redirect from and to where, but this is only focused on 1 user account.
Redirect 301 /otsn/members/admin/my-orders/ /otsn/members/admin/shop/
I am thinking can I use the percentage symbol to make this redirect universal to all users, maybe I'm wrong, Can I do the following?
Redirect 301 /otsn/members/%/my-orders/ /otsn/members/%/shop/
I created a better user profile shop tab that has more capabilities, so I want to get rid of the old one and in case anyone tries to enter the old version of that profile page tab by entering the url manually, I want them sent to the new version for their profile shop page but I want this to happen with every user profile in the system.
Is this the correct method? or is there a better more efficient way of doing this?
Thank you
You may use this rule as topmost rule in your .htaccess or Apache config:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([\w-]+)/members/([\w-]+)/my-orders/?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/members/%2/shop [L,R=301]
%1 is back-reference for the first value we are capturing in RewriteCond i.e. first pattern in (...) and same way %2 will represent second captured value in (...).

I'm moving the site to a subdomain and need certain tag strings to go to the subdomain and some to remain on the main site. Problem is both have a similar tag system.
I need this type of request
https://www.site.co.uk/tags/example-tag
to go here:
https://sub.site.co.uk/tags/example-tag
but this type of request
https://www.site.co.uk/tags/view?tags=14-some-varriable
to remain unchanged and parsed to content without redirecting.
What would be the most recommended and best solution?
I have written some code to work around other redirects but this one is causing me a headache.
Cheers
For your this mentioned example, below should work.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.+)/(.+)
RewriteRule ^ https://sub.site.co.uk/%1/%2 [R]
When customers cancel a transaction on my site, they get redirected to the WooCommerce cart page with a query string containing randomly generated numbers at the end.
Example
https://www.example.com/cart/?woo-paypal-cancel=true&token=EC-5474842406066680S
(I need this redirect due to a plugin conflict between WP Rocket cache with CDN activated and WooCommerce. Long story.)
I'm wondering what exactly I would put in my .htaccess file to get it to redirect to
https://www.example.com/cart/
I've tried a number of variations I found on multiple pages here on Stackpath, but it wasn't redirecting. Obviously I'm missing something so I'm turning to the gurus.
Would be very grateful for your help.
To redirect /cart/?woo-paypal-cancel=true&token=<anything> to /cart/ you can try something like the following near the top of your .htaccess file (using mod_rewrite):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^woo-paypal-cancel=true&token=
RewriteRule ^cart/$ /cart/? [R,L]
The ? on the end of the RewriteRule substitution strips the query string from the request.
This is a temporary (302) redirect.
For the past 4 weeks (yes you read right, 4 weeks) I 've been trying to redirect my website to a new domain.
Here's what I want to do:
Redirect the ROOT of my website from ukmotorhomehirerental to leisurerentalsdirect.com
Without redirecting all the subfolders. ie. if I click on a link in google to one of our minor pages, I want to land on that page on the new domain without being redirected to the index page. It worth mentioning that I do want to also redirect the minor pages on a page to page basis.
I'm doing it like this (this works perfect)...
RedirectRule ^/pages/contentPage.asp\?QN=94 http://www.leisurerentalsdirect.com/pages/contentPage.asp?QN=94 [I,R=301]
However this This is were the problem lies...
RedirectRule ^/ http://www.leisurerentalsdirect.com [I,R=301]
I know the above implies to the browser that all traffic requesting ukmotorhomehirerental will be forwarded to leisurerentalsdirect
I think I need some sought of condition applying, but I just cannot understand how to do this, can anybody help?
You don't actually say what the problem is, but I think you want www.ukmotorhomehirerental.com to go www.leisurerentalsdirect.com and www.ukmotorhomehirerental.com/somepage to go to www.leisurerentalsdirect.com/somepage, right?
If so, you should only need a single redirect rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.ukmotorhomehirerental\.com/? [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.leisurerentalsdirect.com/$1 [L,R=301]
This will simply redirect any page on ukmotorhomhirerental.com to the same page (or root, if none) on leisurerentalsdirect.com.
my website is under construction and i would like to show the website to my friends ,And deny to all users. i used particular ips in htaccess files,but ip is not static . Is there any way to keep mac address ? or any way
You can't match against a MAC Address using directives in an htaccess file. You could either
Put a password on your actual content and everyone without the password gets forwarded to an "Under Construction" page (possibly using ErrorDocument 403 /under_construction.html`)
Look for a special query string that you can give out to only your friends:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !special_var=my_buddies
RewriteRule ^ /under_construction.html [R=301,L]
So here, any url without the special_var=my_buddies query string ( http://hostname.com/some/content.php?special_var=my_buddies ) gets redirected to the under construction page
You can do something similar by setting a cookie. Create a small landing page called something like /my_buddies.php that simply does a set_cookie() call to create a my_buddies cookie (doesn't have to be php, and the cookie can be called anything). Then do something similar as the query string:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !my_buddies
RewriteRule ^ /under_construction.html [R=301,L]
Essentially the same thing. If there's no my_buddies in the cookie string, redirect to the under construction page.
There's probably other ways to get do something like this, but can't think of anything off the top of my head.
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]
