Alright so I have done the process of cleaning up my urls and everything is going good I put the following in my htaccess.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /l/index.php?mp3=$1&img=http://www.dailynewsounds.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tinashe-5535799554a1b-3.jpg&g=R\%26amp\%3BB&p=8\%20hours\%20ago&s=+Energy&a=Tinashe+Ft.+Juicy+J+ [L]
And this works to change my urls but we have our nasty urls directing to the pages.
http://dl.example.com/l/index.php?mp3=oo8aey7qw3n9&img=http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/stuey-rock-ft-sy-ari-da-kid-569e83c69cf5e.jpeg&g=R%26amp%3BB&p=10%20hours%20ago&s=+Me+And+You&a=Stuey+Rock+Ft.+Sy+Ari+Da+Kid+
How can I make it so that I can check my url to see if it contains index.php and if it does redirect it to the new page?
Try the following rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /l/index\.php\?\S*mp3=\S* [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} \bmp3=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1.html? [R=301,L]
If you're using Apache 2.4.x, then replace the L] with L,QSD].

I have this url http://subdomain.domain.com/index.php?page=print-items and I want to remove index.php?page= and only keep what comes after it.
I tried this but it didn't work. it only removes index.php and keeps ?page=print-items
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+) index.php?page=$1
Could you please try following, written and tested as per shown samples.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} index\.html\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*/?)/?$ index.html?page=$1 [NC,L]
OR if you are hitting usre friendly URL and you want to redirect in backend into index.html URL with query string then try following.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !index\.html\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*/?)/?$ index.html?page=$1 [NC,L]
We have a page file here:
ourdomain.com/subfolder1/subfolder2/
But we'd like people to be able to access it by going here:
ourdomain.com/subfolder2/
So we need both a redirect and a rewrite.
Any idea how this can be achieved using htaccess? I've tried a million things and nothing is properly rewriting/redirecting.
What I currently have...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/subfolder1/subfolder2/?$ [NC,OR]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.ourdomain.com/subfolder2/ [R=301,L]
You can use:
# Redirect from /subfolder1/subfolder2/...
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+subfolder1/(subfolder2/[^\s?]*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L]
# Rewrite to /subfolder1/subfolder2/...
RewriteRule ^(subfolder2/.*) /subfolder1/$1 [NC,L]
I am making a mini blog that could make it's url looks like this:
From: http://127.0.0.1/index.php?post=the-story-of-us
To: http://127.0.0.1/view/the-story-of-us
I have tried this but i'm getting 404 not found.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|POST|HEAD)\ /index\.php\?post=([^&]+)
RewriteRule ^ /view/%2/? [L,R=301]
Your current rule only handles the case: Redirect old url to new url.
(By the way, +1 for using THE_REQUEST to avoid a redirect loop)
You also need to handle the case: Rewrite (internally) new url to old url.
Here is how your htaccess should look like
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect /index.php?post=XXX to /view/XXX
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/index\.php\?post=([^&\s]+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /view/%1? [L,R=301]
# Internally rewrite back /view/XXX to /index.php?post=XXX
RewriteRule ^view/([^/]+)$ /index.php?post=$1 [L]
I do not udnerstand your RewriteCondition, but the RewriteRule should look like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^view/(.*)/? ./index.php?post=$1 [L,R=301]
I tried some of the other answers I could find in here, but it didn't work out. It's really simple though.
I want
/page?id=PAGENAME
to be accessible AND redirected to
/PAGENAME
Can you help me?
EDIT:
It feels like my already messed-up .htaccess file needs to be included in here. I already have basic rewriting enabled, but this feature is needed for two other "special pages". In the requested solution above, I would therefore just replace "page" with the two pagenames (it's danish names, so I thought it was easier this way).
Currently I have this. If you have any improvements to it, it's appreciated - but I just want this to work with the requested solution aswell.

Generally the URL in address bar should be like
www.siteurl.com/pagename/ for seo purpose and then read this url from .htaccess using rule which gives this query string parameter values in your php file.
.htaccess rule can be like
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /page?id=$1 [QSA,L]
It looks like you are wanting to implement "friendly" (or "pretty") URLs, making the URLs more friendly for you users (search engines don't really mind what your URLs look like).
The first step is to change all your on-page links to use the new "friendly" URL. So, you links should all be of the form /pagename (not /page?id=PAGENAME).
Then, in .htaccess, you need to internally rewrite this "friendly" URL into the real URL that your server understands. This can be done using mod_rewrite. In the .htaccess file in your document root:
# Enable the rewrite engine
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# Rewrite the "friendly" URL back to the real URL
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^id=
RewriteRule ^([\w-]*) /page?id=$1 [L]
If the file does not exist (!-f) and does not contain the id URL param then internally rewrite the request from /<pagename> to /page?id=<pagename>. This assumes your <pagename> consists only of the characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _ and -.
If this is a new site and the old URLs are not already indexed or referenced by external sites then you can stop here.
However, if you are changing an existing URL structure then you also need to externally redirect the real (ugly) URL to the "friendly" URL before the above internal rewrite. (This is actually what you are asking in your question.) In order to prevent a rewrite loop we can check against %{THE_REQUEST} (which does not change when the URL is rewritten).
# Redirect real URLs to "friendly" URLs
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \?id=([\w-]*)
RewriteRule ^page$ /%1? [R=302,L]
Change the 302 (temporary) to 301 (permanent) when you are sure this is working OK. Permanent redirects are cached by the browser so can make testing a problem.
So, in summary, with the above two parts shown together:
# Enable the rewrite engine
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect real URLs to "friendly" URLs
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \?id=([\w-]*)
RewriteRule ^page$ /%1? [R=302,L]
# Rewrite the "friendly" URL back to the real URL
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^id=
RewriteRule ([\w-]*) /page?id=$1 [L]
The order of directives is important. External redirects should nearly always come before internal rewrites.
UPDATE#1:
I want /concept?id=NAME to go to /NAME and /studio?id=NAME to go to /NAME - there's 5-10 different "pages" from both concept and studio. [Corrected according to later comment]
Since id=NAME maps to /NAME you can achieve all 10-20 redirects with just a single rule:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(NAME|foo|bar|baz|abc|def|ghi)
RewriteRule ^(concept|studio)$ /%1? [R,L]
This will redirect a URL such as /studio?id=foo to /foo.
As with all external redirects this should be one of the first rules in your .htaccess file.
Change R to R=301 when you have tested that it is working OK.
To make this more "dynamic", ie. match any "NAME" then change the CondPattern, for example:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([\w-]*)
UPDATE#2:
If the path part of the URL (ie. concept or studio) is required then you can modify the RewriteRule substitution like so:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([\w-]*)
RewriteRule ^(concept|studio)$ /$1/%1? [R,L]
Which will redirect /concept?id=foo to /concept/foo.
Or, to be completely "dynamic" (bearing in mind this will now capture anything):
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([\w-]*)
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)$ /$1/%1? [R,L]
I was able to get my old URL's with index.php to redirect to my new clean URL's
eg: example.com/index.php?gender=m&height=70&weight=150
to
example.com/men/70-inches/150-lbs/
However I've been trying to hack my way getting the other URL's without the index.php to also redirect to the clean url
eg: example.com/?gender=m&height=70&weight=150
to
example.com/men/70-inches/150-lbs/
my current redirection for URL's with index.php that works looks like this:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\?gender=m&height=([0-9-]+)&weight=([0-9-]+)
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /men/%1-inches/%2-lbs/? [L,R=301]
I've tried this, for URL's without index.php but it doesn't work:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /\?gender=m&height=([0-9-]+)&weight=([0-9-]+)
RewriteRule ^/$ /men/%1-inches/%2-lbs/? [L,R=301]
Problem is google has indexed a bunch of my page with the example.com/?gender=m&height=70&weight=150 and I want to have them all pointing to the one clean URL.
You have the correct idea, but your rewrite rule's pattern won't work: ^/$. The URI's sent through rules in an htaccess file has the leading slash removed, so there's no / URI ever, it'll just be blank:
# no slash---v
RewriteRule ^$ /men/%1-inches/%2-lbs/? [L,R=301]
So the whole thing should be:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /\?gender=m&height=([0-9-]+)&weight=([0-9-]+)
RewriteRule ^$ /men/%1-inches/%2-lbs/? [L,R=301]
