I have a website which supplies free wallpapers and from some reason when people try to get to it using google images, the link becomes broken...
Example
OK

BAD

Pay attention thats google images adds query strings that makes my site no work properly...
So my question is, how can i make WordPress ignore those query strings?
The full .htaccess: http://pastebin.com/kHNL5DQi
In your main wordpress .htaccess you can insert this redirect rule just below RewriteBase line:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .+
RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ %{REQUEST_URI}? [L,NC,NE,R=301]
This will strip unwanted query string from image URLs.

I apologize if there is a question like this out there, but after 1 hour of trying things and searching on here i forced myself to ask...
So what i am working with is a search query with 8 parameters, some of them might not be submitted and some might, depending on the advanced search form.
So i have this rewrite thing that makes it so that if users go to {link}/search the real link is {link}?url=search
Anyways, what i now want to do is make it so that when users go to {link}/search and have searched with for example ?q=somethinghere&category=somecategory&location=losangeles
it works just like it does with {link}/index.php?url=search?q=somethinghere&category=somecategory&location=losangeles
If it helps, here is all i got right now in my htaccess rewrite thing
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(|/)$ index.php?url=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)(|/)$ index.php?url=$1
Your rule looks ok just add the QSA (Query String Append) to append querystring to the destination url
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA]
I am currently in the final stages of redeveloping a website however having some trouble redirecting the old blog links to the new format.
We have inbound links to the old blog in the form of:
Index Page
http://www.domain_name.co.uk/blog-page/
Needs to become
http://www.domain_name.co.uk/news/
This is easy enough and has been done by using
RewriteRule ^blog-page$ /news/ [R=301,L]
Profile page
http://www.domain_name.co.uk/blog-page/index.php?/archives/1541-title-of-the-blog.html
The above needs to link to
http://www.domain_name.co.uk/news/1541-title-of-the-blog
However the '?' in the middle of the URL structure appears to break my rewriterule. I have read online about QUERYSTRING however I do not believe this solves my issue as there are no actual parameters passed through in the URL
The below code works but passes through the '/?/archives/' info also.
RewriteRule ^blog-page/index.php(.*)$ /news/$1 [R=301,L]
Any help would be massively appreciated. There are several other sections of the previous site build which for some reason use the same URL structure.
You will need an additional rule for matching query string. Have your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^/archives/(.+?)\.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^blog-page/index\.php$ /news/%1? [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^blog-page$ /news/ [R=301,L,NC]
Excuse me for my english.
I make a brands directory web site.
Before to acces to the brands pages I use requests like this :
mydomain.com/fiche.php?id=115
where id is the id of the brand in my directory
I change the structure of the brands pages and now use this request:
mydomain.com/annuaire.php?type=fiche&id_marq=115
where id has become id_marq
I try to use a rewritebrule like this:
RewriteRule ^fiche.php$ http://www.annuaire-sites-officiels.com/annuaire.php?detail=fiche&id_marq=$1 [L,QSA,R=301]
to redirect the old links to the new pages but result dont pass the id_marq value and the url is:
http://www.annuaire-sites-officiels.com/annuaire.php?detail=fiche&id_marq=&id=115
&id= is too.
What am I doing wrong?
Your rule is not evaluating query string and that's why its not capturing id query parameter.
Change your code to:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^fiche\.php$ /annuaire.php?detail=fiche&id_marq=%1 [R=302,L,QSA,NC]
Once you verify it is working fine, replace R=302 to R=301. Avoid using R=301 (Permanent Redirect) while testing your mod_rewrite rules.
Check out Regex Back Reference Availability:
You have to capture the query string. [QSA] passes it forward unaltered, so unless you're using id for anything you don't need that bit of code. Your 301 redirect is correct since this is a permanent redirect. Remember if you add a failed redirect your browser may cache that redirect so it might not look like it's working.
In this string match I'm only catching numbers to prevent someone from passing something like an asterisk * and XSS exploiting your site.
I've not included and [NC] matches in my code because when you allow multiple cases they can seem like different URLs to search engines (bad for SEO).
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^fiche.php$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/annuaire.php?detail=fiche&id_marq=%1 [R=301,L]
How to rewrite this url "www.domain.com/index.php?route=custom/static/page" to "www.domain.com/page" in htaccess file, basically just want to take out index.php?route=custom/static/ from urls.
I don't know regex so I tried http://www.generateit.net/mod-rewrite/, but it only generates
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /index.php?route=$1 [L]
which doesnt remove 'custom/static' from URLs, I tried a few other examples as well but only removes index.php? and doesnt pass variable, any help is appreciated.
Do you know the concept of using mod-rewrite?
In your question you have mentioned to use mod-rewrite to redirect
"www.domain.com/index.php?route=custom/static/page",
Here $_Get['route']="custom/static/page"] $url_parameter=$_Get['route']
to
"www.domain.com/page" [here $_Get['route']="page"],
So now you can mannually add "custom/static/" to the obtained value of $_Get['route']. as $url_parameter="custom/static"+$_Get['route'] //For PHP
Using your mod_rewrite you can fulfill your demands,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /index.php?route=$1 [L]
But if you need out of box solution using .htaccess then I suggest learning "rewrite-engine" instead of using generating tool
I have a rule that works for one "direction" but, not the other.
A typical incoming url / query would be: (long url)
http://somedomain.com/getme.pl?dothis=display&partnum=1234567 (could be up to 9 digits)
I have this rule in place in my htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^([0-9]*)$ /getme.pl?dothis=display&partnum=$1 [L]
Which works great for a bit of ease getting one of the unique part numbers:
http://somedomain.com/1234567.
However, I would like to make the long url "pretty" so, I assumed I could reverse(ish) it.
So, when a link on the site is clicked on (the long url) the htaccess file would process the long url to the beautified version.
I tried MANY attempts.
Here was my latest failure.
RewriteRule ^([0-9]*)$ /getme.pl?dothis=display&partnum=$1 [L] #(works)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^partnum=([0-9]*) #(tried to get partnum)
RewriteRule ^.* http://%{HTTP_HOST}/%1 [R] #(make the short url)
RewriteRule ^([0-9]*)$ /getme.pl?dothis=display&partnum=$1 [L] #(the known working rule)
I have tried a plethora of rules and visited many sites for advice.
I tried with just rules, just conditions and variations of query_string.
So, I believe I must just grab the "partnum" from the query and rewrite to /1234567 or http_host/1234567
Then, allow the other rule (works) to process.
So BOTH:
http://somedomain.com/getme.pl?dothis=display&partnum=1234567
and
http://somedomain.com/1234567
Display as: http://somedomain.com/1234567 in the browser.
and both passed the whole query to the getme.pl script properly.
I found some close answers here but, none that really explained what I needed.
Can someone please help?
From the sounds of it, this should get you moving down the right path:
# Your working rewrite, with extra param on the rewrite
RewriteRule ^([0-9]*)$ /getme.pl?dothis=display&partnum=$1&rewrite [L]
# Redirect for long urls, to pretty url
# -The appended '&rewrite' on the first rule will force this not to match
# -The trailing '?' on the rewrite will strip the query string
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} partnum=([0-9]*)$
RewriteRule (.*) /%1? [L,R=301]
Hope that helps.
