I am using following rules
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9\-]+)/?$ category.php?cat=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9\-]+)/([a-z0-9\-]+)/?$ category.php?cat=$1&subcat=$2 [NC,L]
To rewrite following URL
mynews/category.php?cat=News
mynews/category.php?cat=News&subcat=9
to
mynews/News/
mynews/News/9
It is being rewritten only. But how to redirect automatically these querystring URL to rewritten URL ?
I have used following rules as suggested in answer, but doesn't work
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /category\.php\?cat=([^&]+)&subcat=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^category\.php$ /%1/%2? [L,R]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /category\.php\?cat=([^\ &]+)
RewriteRule ^category\.php$ /%1/? [L,R]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9\-]+)/?$ category.php?cat=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9\-]+)/([a-z0-9\-]+)/?$ category.php?cat=$1&subcat=$2 [NC,L]
You'll need to add a few rules to do external redirects. These redirect rules will need to be placed before the rewrite rules that you already have. So they'll look something like this:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /category\.php\?cat=([^&]+)&subcat=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^category\.php$ /%1/%2? [L,R]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /category\.php\?cat=([^\ &]+)
RewriteRule ^category\.php$ /%1/? [L,R]
These will see requests that are /category?cat=<something> and externally redirect the browser to the nicer looking URLs. The reason we need to match against %{THE_REQUEST} is so that we make sure there's no chance the rewrite rules that you already have interfere with the redirect rules because the rewrite engine will loop through the rules.

URL is rewritten using following rule.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]+)/$ category?id=$1
to change
http://localhost/newsite/category?id=home
to following structure
http://localhost/newsite/home/
Now I tried to redirect, newsite/category?id=home to newsite/home/, to make clean URL using redirect rule, such as 301, redirect, but it doesn't work.
You can use this set of rules in newsite/.htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /newsite/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /category(?:\.php)?\?id=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1? [R=301,L]
# internal forward from pretty URL to actual one
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/$ category.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
You missed the .php in the rewrite statement
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]+)/$ category?id=$1
change to
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]+)/$ category.php?id=$1
I want to redirect pages like:
/category-name/post-name.html?id=1234
To:
/category-name/1234-post-name.html
How can do this using htaccess?
What I have tried:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^.]+)\.html$ /$1/%1-$2\.html [L,R=301]
But it is a continuous redirect.
You can use these rules in your site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
# external redirect from actual URL to pretty one
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)\?id=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%3-%2? [R=301,L,NE]
# internal forward from pretty URL to actual one
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([^-]+)-([\w-]+)/?$ $1/$3?id=$2 [L,QSA]
Try this
Make sure the url is root url
Example:-
www.foo.com/category-name/post-name.html
It will only work if the project url is same as that of the above.
www.foo.com/blog/category-name/post-name.html
This won't work you need to update the RewriteBase url accordingly l.
This is the conditions
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %(REQUEST_FILENAME) !-f
RewriteCond %(REQUEST_FILENAME) !-d
RewriteRule here
RewriteRule ^category-name/([0-9]+)-post-name$ /category-name/post-name.html?id=$1 [L]
This should work..
I have to redirect (301) from
http://domain/index.php to
http://domain/
I've done it with following rules:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]
Ok. it works, BUT I do NOT want to allow redirect from urls like:
http://domain/asd/index.php
I've tried to change condition like:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^/index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^/index.php
but no success.
So, how to redirect ONLY from http://domain/index.php to http://domain/
ps: I do not want to use REDIRECT command
Try this:
RewriteRule ^index.php$ / [R=301,L]
You can use the following rule :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/index\.php\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ / [L,R]
Having trouble figuring out the mod rewrite for .htaccess I want the url http://www.example.com/archive.php?title=about_me which is a dynamic url to be rewritten to http://www.example.com/about_me. I am using php and here is my current .htaccess code, however it only rewrites to http://www.example.com/archive/about_me want the archive to be removed.
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
rewriteengine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/archive\.php\?title=([^&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^ /archive/%1? [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^/?archive/(.*)$ /archive?title=$1 [L]
## Hide .php extension
## To externally redirect /dir/foo.php to /dir/foo
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L,NC]
I did get it to rewrite correctly with this code
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/archive\.php\?title=([^&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /archive?title=$1 [L]
However it then returns a page cannot be found error
I you want the /archive/ to be removed, you'll have to ensure that any URI that's in the form of /something must absolutely be routed to the archive.php script. Because there's simply no way to tell whether /my_blog is actually a request for /my_blog or whether it needs to be sent to the archive.php script with "my_blog" as the value of title in the query string. The best you can do is check that it's not a request for an existing resource via the -f and -d conditions:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/archive\.php\?title=([^&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [L,R=301]
# no /archive/ ^
# condition checks
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ /archive?title=$1 [L]
Something like this should do the trick:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^title=(.*)
RewriteRule ^archive.php /%1?
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /archive?title=$1 [L]
EDIT: Added the final RewriteRule as noted in my comments on the original question. Per the comment I believe you are trying to do the following two things:
Redirect any user-entered "real" URLs to the "friendly" URL: http://www.example.com/archive.php?title=about_me to http://www.example.com/about_me as stated in the question.
Rewrite the "friendly" URL to the "real" URL: http://www.example.com/about_me to http://www.example.com/archive.php?title=about_me, which was not clear as stated.
I've been working on my HTAccess for a couple days now, and I've hit a dead end.
I've rewritten and redirected the files to be extensionless, now I need to rewrite the url to be SEO Friendly.
Previously, the URL was: http://www.example.com/member.php?playername=encodedName
I removed the extension: http://www.example.com/member?playername=encodedName
I can't quite get it to: http://www.example.com/member/encodedName
Here's what I've gotten so far:
Code trying to redirect to SEO Friendly URL. Does NOT work.
RewriteRule ^member/([^/]*)$ /member.php?playername=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^squad/([^/]*)$ /squad.php?squadname=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^article/([^/]*)$ /article.php?articlename=$1 [L]
Unless directory, remove trailing slash. Works.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
Resolve .php file for extensionless php urls. Works.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]
Redirect external .php requests to extensionless url. Works.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /([^/]+/)*[^.#?\ ]+\.php([#?][^\ ]*)?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*[^.]+)\.php $1 [R=301,L]
Does anyone have an idea as to what I am doing wrong? It's probably a very newbie problem that I just haven't encountered yet.
The "Code trying to redirect to SEO Friendly URL" part looks fine. And while you're redirecting requests made directly to php files to remove the extension, you're not doing anything specifically about the 3 SEO friendly URLs that you are rewriting back.
If when you go to http://www.example.com/member/encodedName, and you're not being served the content at http://www.example.com/member.php?playername=encodedName, then this looks like a Multiviews problem. You'll need to turn off Multiviews either in your server/vhost config or add this to the top of the htaccess file (or in the appropriate already existing Options statement):
Options -Multiviews
In order to do the redirecting to the SEO friendly URLs, add this before the "Redirect external .php requests to extensionless url." rules:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /member\.php\?playername=([^&\ ]+)([^\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /member/%1?%2 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /squad\.php\?squadname=([^&\ ]+)([^\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /squad/%1?%2 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /artcile\.php\?articlename=([^&\ ]+)([^\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /article/%1?%2 [L,R=301]
