Is there away within .htaccess file to redirect or hide a directory or page and have it display as Page Not Found, or an error?
I currently have an active Blog and do not want to remove it, but have /blog hidden if anything was to go to it.
Create a error page for example by name "404.html". And add this rule to the .htaccess file.
RewriteRule ^blog$ /404.html? [L,R=301]

can anyone please me How to hide subdirectory from url in php using htaccess without affecting index page of root directory
suppose i have url https://evidhya.com/KSTA-Webinar i want to hide KSTA-Webinar subdirectory from url but it should not affect index page of the https://evidhya.com and i just want to display in url https://evidhya.com/-KSTA-Webinar and here -KSTA-Webinar is title of the page
I tried myself and found the answer it is working perfectly for me.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^-KSTA-Webinar/?$ KSTA-Webinar/-KSTA-Webinar [L,NC]
Do you mean you only want -KSTA-Webinar to redirect to the real folder KSTA-Webinar? If so, you can just change your <a href='...' values to include the -, then add this to your .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^-KSTA-Webinar$ KSTA-Webinar/index.php [L]
...or whatever your file path is
I would like your help to modify my .htaccess file. My site has been hacked and the malware has created thousands of pages and has really hurt my rankings. I have deleted the pages, but I want all of those links to redirect to one 404 page.
What do I need to write in .htaccess in order to redirect all of the pages that contain a certain word?
I have tried this
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(theword)
RewriteRule ^$ https://example.com/404.php [R=301,L]
But it doesn't seem to work: the 404 page I created appears, but the link still remains in the browser, just that now it's like this
http://example.com/404.php?theword=blablabla
Maybe because my site is on a wordpress platform?
I want all the pages that start with ?theword= to be redirected entirely and for the new link to appear /404.php not /404.php?theword=
Thank you in advance for your help!
The [QSD] (query string discard) flag added to your RewriteRule will drop the query string.
I have an .htaccess file defined at www.mydomain/documentation/.htaccess and am trying to redirect a number of broken links to a specific page.
The .htaccess file contains the Rewrite Rule
RewriteRule ^/?(documentation/PresentationCore~System\.Windows\.RoutedEventArgs).*$
/documentation/v4.x/SciChart_WPF_v4_SDK_User_Manual.html [R,L,NC]
Note: RewriteEngine ON has already been defined. Other rules are being applied
Now in .htaccess tester the rule is being evaluated and redirects correctly when the following URL is requested:
www.mydomain.com/documentation/PresentationCore~System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs~Handled.html
However, when the same domain is entered into the browser, I get a 404 not found for this page.
I can confirm I have uploaded .htaccess to the correct folder and cleared the server cache.
Is there anything else I need to do to get this to work?
You dont need to match the folder name if htaccess is already in that folder, try :
RewriteRule ^/?(PresentationCore~System\.Windows\.RoutedEventArgs).*$
/documentation/v4.x/SciChart_WPF_v4_SDK_User_Manual.html [R,L,NC]
I have a Joomla site with a blog attached to it.
I created a new homepage for it, though, that uses just plain html and have uploaded it to the /new/ directory. I'm trying to write an htaccess redirect that will allow me to use the /new/ directory just for the homepage, but still use the Joomla part for the blog.
Here's what I have tried so far, but it doesn't work.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/new/
RewriteRule ^ /new/ [L]
This actually redirects it in the browser to /new/ instead of doing it underneath the hood, invisibly. Also when I go to the /blog/ page, it is very messed up. In sum:
domain.com --> domain.com/new/ (but don't show the redirect)
domain.com/* --> allow joomla to do its thing
I couldn't get #anubhava solution to work, so I just moved my whole joomla installation into the /blog/ folder. There are just a couple of changes that you have to make in the configuration.php file. After that I put my new site in the root folder.
I have this website, it is my primary domain, however the folder is actually /public_html/annexation.ca. This part is fine, I have an htaccess rule in my public_html folder to deal with that, so that it shows up as annexation.ca and not annexation.ca/annexation.ca.
But I also run a forum off of that website. The problem is that the phpbb software has an auto-direct after logon, logoff and in a couple of other instances. And when it does so it generates a URL like this:
http://annexation.ca/annexation.ca/community
This is not only cosmetically disruptive, but it also impacts the comment section at the bottom of each unique page, where I have Disqus running. What I need is to add a rule to the htaccess file in the root folder that will make these redirects be automatically translated into this again:
http://annexation.ca/community/
Thanks!
Try adding this to your .htaccess
## 301 Redirect Entire Directory
Redirect 301 /annexation.ca/community(.*) /community/$1
You can try this rule on top of other rules:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+annexation\.ca/(community)([^\s?]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [L,R=301]
