I want to add one get parameter to the every url on my wprdpress website except the index page.
For example,
Consider website name to be www.example.com
If www.example.com is hit than nothing should happen
But if I hit www.example.com/events than a get parameter viz. "home" be appended to it. Final URL should be as follows:
www.example.com/events/?home
I want to use this parameter for further processing.
my current .htaccess file contains following
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !lp-variation-id
RewriteRule ^go/([^/]*)? /wp-content/plugins/landing-pages/modules/module.redirect-ab-testing.php?permalink_name=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^landing-page=([^/]*)? /wp-content/plugins/landing-pages/modules/module.redirect-ab-testing.php?permalink_name=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
and i m working on wordpress project.
Try this:
RewriteCond !^/$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /$1?home
Depending on your hosting environment the URL may or may not start with a slash, so you might have to remove it from the RewriteRule.

Recently I redesigned my site let's say http://www.sitename.com/ .
Before the redesign, the homepage url was something like this: http://www.sitename.com/default.asp?id=1&lg=1
Old pages had also weird query strings and they are not relevant any more, so, I want to redirect everything that begins with default.asp to the homepage.
RewriteRule default\.asp.* \
alternatively
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^default.asp?id=1&lg=1$ [NC]
RewriteRule http://www.sitename.com/ http://www.sitename.com/? [R=301,L]
This is the closest I have got so far, but I am pretty sure its wrong.
Can you help?
Update: This is my whole .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule default\.asp.* /?
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I have tried putting my rule at the top and at the bottom, (no luck). Should I embed it somehow on the other rule?
You can use these rules:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# redirect /default.asp to landing page
RewriteRule default\.asp$ /? [L,NC,R=301]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Based on this site, if you set up the rule like this
RewriteRule default\.asp.* /?
it should work.
Here is the reference for how you can replace query strings in the rewrite:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule
Modifying the Query String
By default, the query string is passed through unchanged. You can,
however, create URLs in the substitution string containing a query
string part. Simply use a question mark inside the substitution string
to indicate that the following text should be re-injected into the
query string. When you want to erase an existing query string, end the
substitution string with just a question mark. To combine new and old
query strings, use the [QSA] flag.
UPDATE
Based on your comment, try this:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule default\.asp.*$ /? [L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Note the [L] at the end of RewriteRule default\.asp.*$ /? [L] which terminates the rewriting process when that match is found. See L flag
If you don't include the L flag, then the process will continue with the rest of the rules in your .htaccess until it reaches the end with no matches or until it matches one with the L flag. Think of it like a switch statement, which needs a break in each case or else it continues to the next case, if it helps you.
default.asp is a filename you need to match against it using %{REQUEST_URI} variable. it's not part of querystring. To redirect requested URIs that contain default.asp ,you can use the following :
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /default\.asp [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://sitename.com/? [R,L]
I have a page with this settings:
Options All -Indexes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /demo/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(.*)show(/|.*)$
RewriteRule . /demo/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
For example, when you request the page http://example.com/demo/any_folder/ it loads http://example.com/demo/index.php without changing the URL, to retrieve data from a database for example. Well, this works.
But I want to add and exception.
I need a condition that if you visit http://example.com/demo/any_folder/show it loads the same URL removing the word "show" but avoiding the redirect that is actually defined. So, it will load http://example.com/demo/any_folder/ and not http://example.com/demo/index.php. Does anyone know how to do this?
There has to be something different about the URL to not be redirected to index.php. The following .htaccess code adds a query parameter ?show to tell the two URLs apart.
Since, the redirection is internal; the user never gets to see the parameter.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /demo/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/show/?$ $1?show [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^show [NC]
RewriteRule . /demo/index.php [L]
I have a URL with a parameter which I wish to make into sef URL:
want:
http://map.tautktiv.com/street.php?address=abc
to become:
http://map.tautktiv.com/street/address/abc
or
http://map.tautktiv.com/address/abc
have tried several online tools to generate a .htaccess rule, but none of them have any effect on the URL, .htaccess file is active (tried to put some gibberish in it and got error 500)
these are the rules I tried:
1.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^address-([^-]*)$ /street.php?address=$1 [L]
RewriteRule street/address/(.*) street.php?address=$1
2.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /address/(.*)\.php street.php?address=$1
3.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# add whatever other special conditions you need here
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+)-(.*)$ /street.php?address=$1 [L]
RewriteRule /(.*)/(.*)/$ street.php?address=$1
the site is a sub-domain which files reside in a sub directory in a shared hosting GoDaddy server, have also tried to apply these rules to the .htaccess in the directory above it, same result.
tried also this per below suggestions
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^street/address/(.*)$ street.php?address=$1 [r=301,L]
RewriteRule ^address/(.*)$ street.php?address=$1 [r=301,L]
RewriteRule ^street/address/(.*)$ street.php?address=$1 [r=301,L]
same result, nothing happens.
tried to go directly to page from main domain but same result:
http://tautktiv.com/map/streets/street.php?address=abc
First rule will redirect your ugly URL to the pretty URL.
Second rule will internally redirect it back so the user will not see the ugly URL.
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Internally forward /street/address/abc to /street.php?address=abc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^street/address/(.*)/?$ /street.php?address=$1 [NC,L]
# Internally forward /address/abc to /street.php?address=abc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^address/(.*)/?$ /street.php?address=$1 [NC,L]
If you confirm the rule to be working as expected then you can change it from 302 to 301 as you do not want to use 301 until you know the rule is working as expected.
The .htaccess should go inside the folder where street.php is located.
HTTP is US ASCII so your language would fail, it will redirect it to something like this:
/street/address/%25D7%2590%2520%25D7%2598%25D7%2591%25D7%25A8%25D7%2599%2520%25D7%2599%25D7%25A8%25D7%2595%25D7%25A9%25D7%259C%25D7%2599%25D7%259D%2520%25D7%2599%25D7%25A9%25D7%25A8%25D7%2590%25D7%259C
Your best bet here would be to change the links to use /street/address/word instead of the php file directly.
This way you would not need the first rule and you can use only the internal redirect which would work just fine with this update.
Try this one:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^street/address/(.*)$ street.php?address=$1 [r=301,L]
RewriteRule ^address/(.*)$ street.php?address=$1 [r=301,L]
In your examples you'd missed ^ and $ in the second row of RewriteRule.
And use [r=301,L] instead of [L] to tell the browser, that thzis is premanent redirecting.
I have several urls on a Joomla site which have been indexed and I need to 301 redirect them into some new pages. The old URL is formed like this:
http://www.mydomain.com/en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english?start=20
I want it to go to:
http://www.mydomain.com/en/family-members/family-disease
I tried using:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^/en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english$ http://www.www.mydoamin.com/en/family-members/family-disease%1 [R=301,L]
I've tried several answers on here but nothing seems to be working.
htaccess 301 redirect dynamic url
and
301 Redirecting URLs based on GET variables in .htaccess
Any ideas what I should try next? (I've tried a normal redirect 301)
You've almost got it. You need to remove the leading slash from your rule's pattern because it's removed from the URI when applying rules from an htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english$ /en/family-members/family-disease%1? [R=301,L]
You also don't need the http://www.www.mydoamin.com bit (2 sets of www). At the end of your target, you have family-disease%1, which means if start=20 then the end of your URL will look like: family-disease20. Is that right?
The new URL doesn't have the query string in it, so it is just stripping of the last URL path part. If you want it hardcoded
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english$ /en/family-members/family-disease? [R,L]
or a little bit more flexible
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/.+$ /en/family-members/family-disease? [R,L]
or if you just want to keep two levels after en/wfmenuconfig
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/(.+?/.+?)/ /en/$1? [R,L]
Never test with 301 enabled, see this answer Tips for debugging .htaccess rewrite rules for details.
If you just want to redirect http://www.mydomain.com/en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english?start=$var into http://www.mydomain.com/en/family-members/family-disease, then you must try these directives:
# once per .htaccess file
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} start=([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english /en/family-members/family-disease [R=301,L]
But if that's not what you want, but to redirect http://www.mydomain.com/en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english?start=$var into http://www.mydomain.com/en/family-members/family-disease$var then you could check this one:
# once per .htaccess file
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} start=([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english /en/family-members/family-disease%1 [R=301,L]
Now, give this one a little more try if it will work. If it's not, then find any suspicious why this code is not working:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /en/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} start=([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english /family-members/family-disease [R]
And go to http://www.mydomain.com/en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english?start=$AnyNumber if it's redirecting into http://www.mydomain.com/en/family-members/family-disease just make sure that your web server have mod_rewrite.
I just wanted to throw this out there, I was also having trouble getting the RewriteRule to work. I have a client that upgraded to a WordPress powered site from .asp pages. What I had to do to get this to work is insert the RewriteCond and RewriteRule in the htaccess file BEFORE the "# BEGIN WordPress" section. Now it works just as it should.
This is posted way late, but hopefully it helps someone else out there running into the same issue.
Doesn't Work:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^var=somestring$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^oldpage\.asp$ http://www.domain.com/newpage? [R=301,L]
Does Work:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^var=somestring$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^oldpage\.asp$ http://www.domain.com/newpage? [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Order of operations must be important =)
A bit of help fellow SO people.
What I have at the moment (based on some code I used for a different type of URL).
I want the first URL to redirect to the second, with no query string included afterwards
This is what I have to so far.
RewriteRule ^(page.php?id=missionstatement+)/?$ http://example.com/why/mission-statement [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(page.php?id=ofsted+)/?$ http://example.com/how/ofsted-report [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(page.php?id=governingbody+)/?$ http://example.com/governors [R=301,L]
Here is the rule (will redirect 1 URL):
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=whatever
RewriteRule ^page\.php$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/how/somehow? [R=301,L]
This rule intended to be placed in .htaccess in website root folder. If placed elsewhere some small tweaking may be required.
I have used %{HTTP_HOST} -- this will redirect to the same domain as requested URL. If domain name has to be different, replace it by exact domain name.
The ? at the end of new URL will get rid of existing query string.
Ahoy!
Give this a whirl:
#check mod_rewrite is enabled
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#enable mod rewrite
RewriteEngine On
#set working directory
RewriteBase /
#force trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [R=301,L]
#bootstrap index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^page.php\?id=(.*)$ http://www.willans.com/page.php/$1 [R=310,L]
#end mod rewrite check
</IfModule>
It's been a while since i've done any web dev, but that should be a push in the right direction at least ;)
