How to redirect the path using string compare.
For example: We have path like (1000+ redirections)
www.example.com/kb-123
www.example.com/kb-555
www.example.com/kb-666
Now using single rule how to redirect all above path's into below path's?
www.example.com/article/kb-123
www.example.com/article/kb-555
www.example.com/article/kb-666
Try with below rule,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.+)
RewriteRule ^ /article/%1 [R=301,L]

enter code hereI have a WordPress website.
I have URLs for affiliates that look like this:
https://example.com/folder/?ref=23432
https://example.com/folder/?ref=13442
etc.
I would like to redirect any URL that ends in ?ref= to another domain.
For example, https://example.com/folder/?ref= should redirect to https://example.org/product/
How can I do this? I appreciate your time.
I tried
Redirect 301 example.com/folder/?ref https://example.org/product/
Thank you #MrWhite. I tried the following with no success.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)ref=
RewriteRule ^example.com https://www.example.org/product/$0 [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^example.com https://www.example.org/product/$0 [R=302,L]
The RewriteRule directive matches the URL-path only (less the slash prefix). So this should be matching against folder/ (as per your example), not the hostname.
And the $0 backreference in the substitution string is not required here. So this should simply be:
:
RewriteRule ^folder/$ https://www.example.org/product/ [R=302,L]
If you do need to check the requested hostname (ie. example.com) - if example.com and example.org point to the same server - then you need a separate condition (RewriteCond directive). For example, the complete rule would then become:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)ref=
RewriteRule ^folder/$ https://www.example.org/product/ [R=302,L]
Note that the regex (^|&)ref= matches the ref= URL parameter anywhere in the query string, if there happened to be other URL parameters that preceded it.
Reference:
htaccess redirect URL with parameter when a special parameter exists
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule
I want to change
domain.com/division1/index.php?members/maxmusterman.5
to
domain.com/division1/index.php?members/maxmusterman.5/#div
That is if the URL contains index.php?members, then I add /#div at the end of url. I tried this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} index.php?
RewriteRule (.*) /%1/%{QUERY_STRING}&123 [L,QSA,R=301]
but it returns
domain.com/members/maxmusterman.5&123?members/maxmusterman.5
Note here that &123 is attached after URI before starting parameters. I researched htaccess QSA flag but I could not find a way to add a custom string at the end of the query string. How can I do that. Here I have used &123 for test purpose, actual requirement is adding /#div
To redirect
domain.com/division1/index.php?members/maxmusterman.5
to
domain.com/division1/index.php?members/maxmusterman.5/#div
.
You can use something like the following :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !loop=no
RewriteRule ^division1/index\.php$ %{REQUEST_URI}?%{QUERY_STRING}&loop=no#div [L,R,NE]
I added an additional perameter loop=no to the destination url to prevent infinite loop error .You can't avoid this as both your old url and the new url are identical and can cause redirect loop if you remove the RewriteCond and Query perameter.
NE (no escape ) flag is important whenever you are redirecting to a fragment otherwise mod-rewrite converts the # to its hex %23 .
solution #2
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !.*loop=no [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /division1/index\.php\?(.+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /division1/index.php?%1&loop=no#div [NE,L,R]
Clear your browser cache before testing these redirects.
OK, say my blog site myurl.org as many links to a separate domain:
old.myurl.org?oldvar=foo
Only old.myurl.org no longer exists and has been replaced by new.myurl.org.
If the query string vars were the same on new.myurl.org, I believe I could rewrite from .htaccess using:
RewirteCond %{http_host} ^old.myurl.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ new.myurl.org [L,R=301,QSA]
The only problem is that I also need to change the query string var from oldvar to newvar and preserve it's data (foo).
There are plenty of examples of how to rewrite query string vars in different ways, but I can't seem to find an example of this scenario.
I need to rewrite:
old.myurl.org?oldvar=foo
To:
new.myurl.org?newvar=foo
Edit
Furthermore, I have several potential query string key values to account for, but not all will always be present.
So I may need:
old.myurl.org?oldvar=foo&oldvar2=bar --> new.myurl.org?newvar=foo&newvar2=bar
or
old.myurl.org?oldvar2=bar --> new.myurl.org?newvar2=bar
This may not even be possible, but in one case I need to strip off part of the query string value. So ?oldvar=foo{term} might need to become ?newvar=foo
Thanks again!
First condition match the domain, second condition match the query string and the rule will match your domain root:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old\.myurl\.org$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^oldvar=(\w+)$
RewriteRule ^$ http://new.myurl.org/?newvar=%1 [R=301,L]
You can place more than one query string as well:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old\.myurl\.org$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^oldvar=(\w+)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^oldvar=(\w+)&oldvar2=(\w+)$
RewriteRule ^$ http://new.myurl.org/?newvar=%1&newvar2=%2 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old\.myurl\.org$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^oldvar2=(\w+)$
RewriteRule ^$ http://new.myurl.org/?newvar2=%1 [R=301,L]
To use a path like x/y/z as you have mentioned on the comment you change the RewriteRule for example the rule we are currently using, will only redirect from yourdomain.com/?... which is:
RewriteRule ^$ http://new.myurl.org/?newvar2=%1 [R=301,L]
If you want to catch a different path you would do this:
RewriteRule ^x/?$ http://new.myurl.org/?newvar2=%1 [R=301,L]
The above would catch yourdomain.com/x?... and yourdomain.com/x/?...
You can have more than one path as well and use a OR condition like this:
RewriteRule ^(x|x/y|x/y/z)/?$ http://new.myurl.org/?newvar2=%1 [R=301,L]
The above means we want to match x/?... OR x?... OR x/y?... and x/y/?... OR x/y/z?... OR x/y/z/?...
By encapsulating it on the parenthesis and using the | as separator and OR.
The ^ and $ means match from begin to end, so when it contains nothing means match nothing which means root folder domain.com/, when there is content it will match the content for instance domain.com/x or whatever you place into it.
I'm new with 301 redirects through .htacces.
I can get simple redirects as
redirect 301 /test.html http://www.domain.com/test2.html
to work but I have some urls like this
redirect 301 /test.asp?Group=100 http://www.domain.com/test3.html
and for some reason these don't work.
Thanks.
Here is set of rules for URLs you have provided:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =group=113 [NC]
RewriteRule ^group\.asp$ http://domain.dk/til-born.htm? [NC,R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =product=1136 [NC]
RewriteRule ^product\.asp$ http://www.domain.dk/til-born/bukser.html? [NC,R=301,L]
As you can see query string is matched separately to the page name. So .. for each of such redirects you need 2 lines: RewriteCond & RewriteRule.
The rule above will do EXACT match, which means /group.asp?group=113¶m=value will not be redirected because query string is group=113¶m=value which is more than just group=113.
To have such redirect working (when there are some optional parameters in query string) you have to modify it: RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)group=113(&|$) [NC] -- this will match group=133 anywhere in query string (group=113 and group=11366 are still different, so no problems here).
This needs to be placed in .htaccess in website root folder. If placed elsewhere some tweaking may be required.
The Redirect directive (as far as I know) matches only on the path, not querystring. Instead, use RewriteRule. The QSA instructs the rewrite engine to append the querystring onto the new redirected URL.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^test\.asp http://www.domain.com/test3.html [L,R=301,QSA]
Need help with an 301 htaccess redirect rule doing the following:
www.name.com/wordA/wordB/* to www.name.com/WordNEW/wordA/wordB/*
we are basically adding "WordNew".
I have three wordA and five wordB for a total of 15 path variations.
Spin this on for size:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/WordNEW [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /WordNEW/$1 [L,R=301]
Broken down
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/WordNEW [NC]
Check the requested URI does not start (!^) with the same folder path (/WordNEW) as the final. If it does, you've already redirected once or you are already there. If you don't check then you can end up on a loop rewriting the path over and over again.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /WordNEW/$1 [L,R=301]
If it passes, grab the whole requested URI (^(.*)$) and prepend with the new folder path (/WordNEW/$1). Then flag this as the last rule (L) in the RewriteRule while redirecting under 301 (R=301).
if WordNEW is in a constant position my quick and dirty solution would be to split the url string on '/'. at index 1 I would prepend the string WordNEW/ . For a more feasible solution I will need a few moments to think.
Here’s a simpler rule:
RewriteRule !^WordNEW/ /WordNEW%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
