.htaccess vanity urls and clean urls together - .htaccess

I've been able to set up .htaccess to enable vanity urls on my website. However, I'm encountering into a problem when I try to clean other urls on my website. I would give the scenario and my current .htaccess below:
Currently wwww.mywebsite.com/john redirects to profile.php?user=john. In profile.php I check to see user john exist in my database if false I redirect to a custom 404.php page. This work very well. The problem arises when I try to have wwww.mywebsite.com/photo/abcdefg be interpreted as www.mywebsite.com/photo.php?m=abcdefg. For some reason it believes photo is the name of the user and then rewrites it as if its a vanity url. Please see my .htaccess file code below:
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.mywebsite.com/404
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ profile.php?username=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(.*)\.(.*)\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ HTTP%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

You need to do your redirect before any internal routing. Then, you need to explcitly match against /photo before you route to profile and change the .php -f:
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.mywebsite.com/404
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(.*)\.(.*)\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ HTTP%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^photo/(.+)$ /photo.php?m=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ /$1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ /profile.php?username=$1 [L]

.Htaccess redirect breaks file path

I'm attempting to canonicalization my URL. However, when adding the relevant code, it breaks my other rewrite rules which allows me to hide the .html/ .php. It works fine when landing on the homepage but when you go to a page with www. and a file path at the end of the URL the page redirects to the homepage without www.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?path=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.bespoke-apertures\.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://bespoke-apertures.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
Have it like this in different order:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(bespoke-apertures\.co.uk)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?path=$1 [L,QSA]
Make sure to test this in a new browser to avoid old cache.
Try this to redirect without www :
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

RedirectMatch 301 to change part of URL

There are bad links left over from a previous error, and I'm trying to clean up my mess with 301 RedirectMatch.
Correct URLs are the following format:
http://www.example.com/aaa-directory/page
http://www.example.com/bbb-directory/page
http://www.example.com/ccc-directory/page
(etc.)
But, previously there were bad links that linked to the pages at:
http://www.example.com/aaa-directory//page
http://www.example.com/bbb-directory//page
http://www.example.com/ccc-directory//page
(double backslash // when should be single / )
I've fixed the bad links, but I still get external links and/or robot crawls that go to those bad URLs.
I'd like to use a RedirectMatch 301 so that any link with the text "-directory//" will redirect to the same link with "-directory/".
So, http://www.example.com/ccc-directory//page would be redirected to:
http://www.example.com/ccc-directory/page
I'm struggling with the syntax. Any help would be appreciated!
(not sure if this is needed, but my current HTACCESS file is as follows):
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Keep redirect rules before internal rewrite ones and have another rule to take care of //
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+(.*?)/+(/\S*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1%2 [R=301,L,NE]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]

.htaccess no-html redirection vs directory name

I plan on implementing this .htaccess code (thanks anubhava) into my website:
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^mydomain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.html -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.html [L]
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
Basically it will change URL from "www.mydomain.com/this-page.html" into "www.mydomain.com/this-page" - it does that very well.
However, I have encountered an issue - let's say that one of my pages is "treatments.html".
URL adress will look like this "mydomain.com/treatments" and that's fine. But I want also to make a directory called "treatments" and include the list of available treatments in that folder, it would look like this
"mydomain.com/treatments/treatment-one"
"mydomain.com/treatments/treatment-two"
"mydomain.com/treatments/treatment-three"
and so on...
THE ISSUE IS:
When I try to access the file "treatments.html" browser confuses it with the directory and server sends message [403]Forbidden.
Any ideas for solution?
Ok change your last rule to:
DirectorySlash On
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
rewritecond %{http_host} !^mydomain\.com$ [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.html -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.html [L]

.htaccess redirect from 1 url (no matter what file/folder) to another url

I have a website http://rochesterwaterskishow.com which they've recently changed their name so they want to update their url to http://skidox.com. I'm trying to redirect any page from rochesterwaterskishow.com to skidox.com/site/index.
I have this line of code which redirects http://rochesterwaterskishow.com to http://skidox.com, but if I go to something like http://rochesterwaterskishow.com/test, it doesn't redirect to http://skidox.com.
RewriteRule ^$ http://skidox.com/site/index [R=301,L]
How can I make it a catch all so anything rochesterwaterskishow.com/* gets redirected to skidox.com/site/index?
UPDATE: Full .htaccess file
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^$ http://skidox.com/site/index [R=301,L]
That's because the search pattern ^$ will only match a URI path of "/". You need to pick up the request in a match variable, for example:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} rochesterwaterskishow
RewriteRule ^.* http://skidox.com/site/index/$0 [R=301,L]
I am assuming that you are using SEO optimised-style URIs for the new site. If you want to simply redirect everything to the index page without any context, then you still need a pattern that matches:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} rochesterwaterskishow
RewriteRule ^ http://skidox.com/site/index [R=301,L]
Update following post of full htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} rochesterwaterskishow
RewriteRule ^.* http://skidox.com/$0 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond $0 ^(index\.php$|robots\.txt$|resources)
RewriteRule ^.* - [S=1]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^$ http://skidox.com/site/index/$1 [R=301,L]

site loading for invalid URL's and redirection error

currently I am using this htaccess access,but the site still loads for invalid url, it doesn't goto 404.
ex: http://www.couponcoder.in/babyoye.com -->works and main content
http://www.couponcoder.in/babyo ----> invalid url, it displays homepage
and site loads for both slash and without slash, I just want it to redirect non-slash
www.couponcoder.in/babyoye.com/
www.couponcoder.in/babyoye.com
can someone help out with this?
Options +Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z.]+)?couponcoder\.in$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://www.%1couponcoder.in%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^admin$ Admin/index.php?qstr=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ index.php?qstr=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?qstr=$1 [L]
I can't read if you want to have the non-slash version or if you want to redirect the non-slash version to the slashed one. I'm assuming you want the former.
...
#remove slash, and redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1 [R]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?qstr=$1 [L]
