I am trying to remove the .html file extension from the URLs of my site.
All the answers I've found are about .htaccess and the little snippet of code which is required, but that doesn't work at all, even after removing the .html extensions from the file names. The code pasted below is what I've tried.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]`
I simply wanted to make my site look more professional, because after all, it's not 2005 anymore.
Edit: I'm just about a complete beginner to HTML and CSS as a whole, so please walk me through possible fixes. Thanks!
Suppose you have your pages under http://www.yoursite.com/html, the following .htaccess rules apply.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /html/(.*).html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule .* http://localhost/html/%1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /html/(.*)\ HTTP/
RewriteRule .* %1.html [L]
</IfModule>

I am trying to get
/pages/Settings.html
to appear as
/Settings
by using the RewriteRule
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z_]+)$ pages/$1.html [NC] # Handle pages
in the .htaccess file. This does not work. However,
/pages/ANYOTHERFILE.php
works by using
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z_]+)$ pages/$1.php [NC] # Handle pages
to be rewritten into
/ANYOTHERPAGE
Why does the former not work and the latter work? How do I get .html extensions to be rewritten like this?
Add this rules to top of your .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /pages/$1.html [L]
I am very new to .htaccess files and may have done mine wrong. I have been gathering snippets of code trying to get done what I want.
This is what I have in my file so far
I read this should be in your .htaccess file
Options +MultiViews
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
This was added to force a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
This was added to remove .php at the end of all the files
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
This was added to remove the showing of /index when the home link was pressed
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*\/index?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php?$ "/$1" [R=301,L]
I have tried a lot of ideas I found on both here and other sites from Google. I have had no luck hiding the GET request.
Currently, the URL looks like https://mysite.ca/event?id=123
What I would like it to look like is either https://mysite.ca/event/123
This is hosted on Godaddy and it is just a plain PHP site if that makes any difference.
Any ideas would be great!
First of all Options +MultiViews already removes .php extension so you don't need:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
About your problem try this Rule:
RewriteRule ^event/([0-9]+)?$ event?id=$1 [NC]
Which changes url from example.com/event/<number> to example.com/event?id=<number>
Although, if your site makes infinite redirects then you should change it to:
RewriteRule ^events/([0-9]+)?$ event?id=$1 [NC]
This happens if you have some includes/headers that redirect back to event and creates infinite loop.
I have link like this for example http://localhost/somepage.php?id=1. And i want to make link like this http://localhost/somepage/1 but not just on somepage.php but for all pages on localhost. Here is my code for hidding .php extension and now i now i got http://localhost/somepage?id=1 and now i need to get http://localhost/somepage/1.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
You can replace your rule with this rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(\d+)/?$ $1.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
I am redirecting this type of url
http://www.site.com/windows/games/ or http://www.site.com/windows/games
http://www.site.com/windows/software/ or http://www.site.com/windows/software
to
http://www.site.com/windows/ct.php?ct=games
http://www.site.com/windows/ct.php?ct=software
Site structure
wamp/www/Site/windows/ct.php
I am trying this way its redirecting properly but when url has trailing slash at end its rewriting css, js files too.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^windows/([^/]*)/?$ /Site/windows/ct.php?ct=$1 [L]
i.e
this type of url has css and javascript applied.
http://www.site.com/windows/games
but this type of url has no css and javascript applied. (not working with trailing slash).
http://www.site.com/windows/games/
I have tried several syntax like
RewriteRule ^windows/([^/]+)/?$ /windows/ct.php?ct=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^windows/(^(.[^/]*)/?)$ /windows/ct.php?ct=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^windows/([^/]*)/? /windows/ct.php?ct=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^windows/([^/]+)/? /windows/ct.php?ct=$1 [L]
but it didn't work.
Complete .htaccess
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^windows/([^/]*)/?$ /Site/windows/ct.php?ct=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/]*/[^/]*/(.*\.html) /Site/error/400/ [L]
RewriteRule ^(error) - [L]
RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml$ sitemap.php [L]
RewriteRule ^rss/(.*?)\.xml$ rss/$1.php [L]
</IfModule>
ErrorDocument 404 /Site/error/404/
Please see and suggest any possible way to do it.
Thanks.
The issue here is that your relative paths break when you add a trailing slash as it introduces two-levels of directory structure while the CSS/JS file paths come out only once ... So, your RewriteRule is actually firing for CSS/JS files as well when resolving 404s for paths like /windows/global/js/js.js. But, the scripts still fail to work because they aren't under /Site and that's where your rule is serving the request from.
So, to fix things without touching the relative URLs or resource locations; add another rule as follows:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^windows/([^/]*)/?$ /Site/windows/ct.php?ct=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^windows/(global/.*)$ /$1 [L] # handles css|js files
The rest of your .htaccess (of course) remains the same.
I use the following rule in .htaccess, but this may be too general:
RewriteRule ^q/([^/]+)/([^/]+)(\/?)$ /path/to/q.php?type=$1&q=$2&{QUERY_STRING} [NC]
This may be better for you:
RewriteRule ^windows(\/?)$ /path/to/windows.php?{QUERY_STRING} [NC]
RewriteRule ^windows/([^/]+)(\/?)$ /path/to/windows.php?type=$1&{QUERY_STRING} [NC]
You will have to change this according to your situation. I haven't tested this, but I hope it is good enough for you to get where you want.
I have a new website that is linked to from many places but the structure of the sitemap has changed. I need to redirect some old urls to the relevant new one.
The site also needs to keep its seo friendly url writing.
I have this in my .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(csr|quality|schools|project_management|third_sector|nhs|about)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(csr|quality|schools|project_management|third_sector|nhs|about)$ /about-us [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
Going to /about redirects to /about-us (which is great), and going to /quality also redirects to /about-us (which is correct) too. However, going to /nhs or /schools (for instance) gives a 404. Why is this?
Any help will be appreciated.
[EDIT]
Removed [L] and it started working. Thanks
I think it's probably because your RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L] has an [L] flag (which means last.).
If the conditions are met for the first rule RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L] Apache will stop executing the other rules.
Try removing the [L]
