I am trying to remove a word that is repeated twice in the URL of a WordPress site.
Please note the website is installed in a directory.
for example : https://www.example.com/website/
the link is showing as such :
https://www.example.com/website/website/amp/postname/
and i want the result to be
https://www.example.com/website/amp/postname/
I tried to add to my htacess the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /website/
RewriteRule ^/website/amp/(.*)$ amp/$1/ [L,R=301,QSA]
but did not work
i would appreicate it if some one could direct me in a way of solving this issue
Thanks

until now I have always used htaccess to rewrite URLS in order to have non-SEF url to SEF urls.
Today I am facing a new challenge that honestly, beeing non confident in regular expression, I really don't know how to achieve.
I have a situation where a forum on a website of mine has been update in the following form:
previous link: www.domain.com/forum3/topic/name-of-topic/post/7548
new link: forum.domain.com/Topic-name-of-topic/
How do I intercept /post/37764 string and tell htaccess to not consider it?
And how to instruct the server to build that kind of url instead of the provious. I am very confused about it.
Any suggestion? Thank you very much. Is there any resource that I can read to help me better understand the case?
Thanks again.
EDIT
Florian answer is correct. I just added few mods to fit it better.
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forum3/topic/([^/]+)/post/[0-9]+$ http://forum.domanin.com/Topic-$1/ [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^forum3/topic/([^/]+)-[0-9]+$ http://forum.domanin.com/Topic-$1/ [L,R=301]
You can try this code :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forum3/topic/([^/]+)/post/[0-9]+$ /Topic-$1/ [L,R=301]
/([^/]+)/ means that we want to catch a string containing one or more characters except / preceded and followed by a /.

Here is the summary of my problem.
I have created a Facebook like button. It works correctly most of the time, however not when following the link from somebody's actual "like" post. It seems that Facebook is adding some more info to the URL. For instance, I have
www.example.com/blog.php/6
but Facebook adds
www.example.com/blog.php/6?fb_action_ids=10201090685057512&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582
When a user follows this link they get a Mysql syntax error. If they follow the first link there is no problem. I thought I could just strip off all that extra text from the URL.
I created a .htaccess file and placed it in my root directory on GoDaddy.
I Tried several different rewrites.
Nothing has worked. This is the latest thought I tried:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&)?fb_action_ids=
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1?%1 [R=301]
Do I need to change my .htaccess file or is there another way to solve this problem?
Thanks for the help.
I need help creating a rewrite string to remove the ~12345678/ from the following: www.example.com/~12345678/file.
This doesn't appear on every link. What happened is during development links were created using the development url, there are a couple dozen links that appear this way. The rest of the links are fine. I already use a rewrite to remove index.php.
Try this (this will redirect any request for www.example.com/~12345678/dir/file.ext to www.example.com/dir/file.ext) :
RewriteRule ^\~[a-zA-Z0-9]+/(.*)?$ /$1 [L,QSA,R=301]
I'm trying to redirect a series of around 400 urls using .htaccess/Apache containing a given /directory/ anywhere in the url to a specific location.
The problem here is that my site is receiving requests for an old site hosted on our servers ip. I've tried manually redirecting the urls but the volume is simply too great.
I've searched but can only find examples for redirecting query strings or files
Thanks in advance.
Ok, if all links have the same directory in there... example store/funstuff/blahblah.php
and funstuff is the directory you are looking for then you could modify your .htaccess file something linke this
Options +FollowSymlinks
Options -Multiviews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} funstuff
RewriteRule . http://www.gohere.com/
Then if you needed to pass more of the URL info you could do the last line like this:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.gohere.com/1$
That should get you started... you may need to tweak it slightly.
What language are you processing the redirects in?
You probably need to use a regular expression that searches for the given /directory/.
If I understand your question correctly and that you are using Apache; RedirectMatch should do what you want.
It accepts a regexp for matching and can then redirect to the place you choose.
Here's the scenario, I have a website that used to be a static HTML site and WordPress blog using a subdomain (http://blog.domain.com).
I recently combined everything into a single WordPress installation. To maintain old links I had to rewrite requests like "http://blog.domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-name" to "http://domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-name". My problem is that when trying to visit just "http://blog.domain.com", I get redirected to "http://domain.com" when I want it to go to "http://domain.com/index.php/blog".
So, if a user requests "http://blog.domain.com" (by itself, with or without slash), I want it to go to "http://domain.com/index.php/blog". If they request an old URL of "http://blog.domain.com/some-link-to-a-post", I want it to redirect to "http://domain.com/some-link-to-a-post". In other words, if it's a URL to an actual post, I just want to strip the "blog" subdomain. If it's the old link to the main blog page, I want to remove the "blog" subdomain and append "/index.php/blog"
http://blog.domain.com/ -> http://domain.com/index.php/blog
http://blog.domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-title -> http://domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-title
Hopefully that's clear. I'm not an htaccess expert, so hopefully someone can help me out here. Thanks in advance!
Using the [L] command at the end of a rewrite will tell htaccess that this is the last rule it should match. If you put a rule to match your first condition at the top and the other rewrite rule you said you had already created after it, you should get your expected result.
Try this:
RewriteRule ^blog.domain.com(/?)$ domain.com/index.php/blog [L]
# Your other rewrite here #
I couldn't get that solution to work. However, I used the following:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/index.php/blog/$1 [R=301,L]
That ends up in a URL like http://domain.com/index.php/blog/index.php/2010/06/04/post-title, but Wordpress is smart enough to fix it.
