I have 60 or so old product URLS like this:
http://www.domain.com/page.php?pid=Product Name
I can rewrite the like this.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} pid=Product%20Name [NC]
RewriteRule ^page\.php /my/new/url/for/Product_Name [R=301,NE,L]
But this leaves the query string on the new url like this
http://www.domain.com/my/new/url/for/Product_Name?pid=Product%20Name
1/ Is there a way to remove the query string?
2/ Do I need to do the same for all 60 products? Fine but just a lot of copy/paste.
Thanks as ever.
If you don't care about other params:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} pid=([^&]*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^page\.php /my/new/url/for/%1? [R=301,NE,L]
If you want to save other params, use:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)pid=([^&]*)&?(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^page\.php /my/new/url/for/%2?%1%3 [R=301,NE,L,QSA]
This will leave a hanging ? when there are no other parameters, or a hanging & when pid is the last param on the list, but these are still valid urls.
Putting a question mark at the end of the target will clear the query string.
RewriteRule ^page\.php /my/new/url/for/Product_Name? [R=301,NE,L]
If you find yourself repeating the same pattern many times then consider using RewriteMap to specify a program to process the URL.

I have tried my best but ony little of it works, I want to replace - to + sing withing a specific query string in a category.
i want to replace
https://www.example.com/stack/?s=over-flow
to
https://www.example.com/stack/?s=over+flow
I have tried my best with the below code
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)-(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1?%1+%2 [L,R=301,NE]
It works but it breaks other part of my site containing - sign in the url
I want it specifically on /stack/?s= only
Please help me out, thanks in advance
You may use this rule to target a specific query string with only single parameter:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(s=[^&-]+)-([^&]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(stack/?)$ /$1?%1+%2 [L,R=301,NE]
I made a mistake in creating links. I corrected it but now still there are links floating around that might look like this:
http://www.domain.com/?page=1?date=29062015&id=778
I would like to correct this using the rewriteEngine to redirect my users to:
http://www.domain.com/?page=1&date=29062015&id=778
I searched around and tried the following, but it doesn't work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)\?(.*)$
RewriteRule ^\/ ^\/$1\&$2 [L,R=301]
What should I change here?
I've slightly corrected your rule,hope it will help to resolve the issue:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)\?(.*)$
RewriteRule (.*) $1?%1&%2 [L,R=301]
Note that %1 and %2 are back-references to the matched part of the regular expression in the previous RewriteCond (Query string condition).
Good article about rewriting query string here: https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RewriteQueryString
OK, say my blog site myurl.org as many links to a separate domain:
old.myurl.org?oldvar=foo
Only old.myurl.org no longer exists and has been replaced by new.myurl.org.
If the query string vars were the same on new.myurl.org, I believe I could rewrite from .htaccess using:
RewirteCond %{http_host} ^old.myurl.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ new.myurl.org [L,R=301,QSA]
The only problem is that I also need to change the query string var from oldvar to newvar and preserve it's data (foo).
There are plenty of examples of how to rewrite query string vars in different ways, but I can't seem to find an example of this scenario.
I need to rewrite:
old.myurl.org?oldvar=foo
To:
new.myurl.org?newvar=foo
Edit
Furthermore, I have several potential query string key values to account for, but not all will always be present.
So I may need:
old.myurl.org?oldvar=foo&oldvar2=bar --> new.myurl.org?newvar=foo&newvar2=bar
or
old.myurl.org?oldvar2=bar --> new.myurl.org?newvar2=bar
This may not even be possible, but in one case I need to strip off part of the query string value. So ?oldvar=foo{term} might need to become ?newvar=foo
Thanks again!
First condition match the domain, second condition match the query string and the rule will match your domain root:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old\.myurl\.org$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^oldvar=(\w+)$
RewriteRule ^$ http://new.myurl.org/?newvar=%1 [R=301,L]
You can place more than one query string as well:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old\.myurl\.org$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^oldvar=(\w+)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^oldvar=(\w+)&oldvar2=(\w+)$
RewriteRule ^$ http://new.myurl.org/?newvar=%1&newvar2=%2 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old\.myurl\.org$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^oldvar2=(\w+)$
RewriteRule ^$ http://new.myurl.org/?newvar2=%1 [R=301,L]
To use a path like x/y/z as you have mentioned on the comment you change the RewriteRule for example the rule we are currently using, will only redirect from yourdomain.com/?... which is:
RewriteRule ^$ http://new.myurl.org/?newvar2=%1 [R=301,L]
If you want to catch a different path you would do this:
RewriteRule ^x/?$ http://new.myurl.org/?newvar2=%1 [R=301,L]
The above would catch yourdomain.com/x?... and yourdomain.com/x/?...
You can have more than one path as well and use a OR condition like this:
RewriteRule ^(x|x/y|x/y/z)/?$ http://new.myurl.org/?newvar2=%1 [R=301,L]
The above means we want to match x/?... OR x?... OR x/y?... and x/y/?... OR x/y/z?... OR x/y/z/?...
By encapsulating it on the parenthesis and using the | as separator and OR.
The ^ and $ means match from begin to end, so when it contains nothing means match nothing which means root folder domain.com/, when there is content it will match the content for instance domain.com/x or whatever you place into it.
I would like to redirect without looking at the query string, and my redirect result no need append the query string as well, so I add a ? at the end of the RewriteRule.
I tried the following syntax, but the outcome just close to it.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .* [NC]
RewriteRule ^exd\.asp$ http://www.example.com/index.php?r=p/consumer? [R=301,L]
and also, i tried to escape the first ?, which I need it, but still the same outcome.
RewriteRule ^exd\.asp$ http://www.example.com/index.php\?r=p/consumer? [R=301,L]
Outcome:
http://www.example.com/index.php?r=p/consumer%3f
I want to get ride of the %3f.
Thanks!
You don't need to append a ? at the end if you already have a query string in your target. Just do this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .* [NC]
RewriteRule ^exd\.asp$ http://www.example.com/index.php?r=p/consumer [R=301,L]
By default, query strings get appended, like this:
RewriteRule ^foo$ /bar [L]
You request /foo?blah and you get /bar?blah
However, if you have a ? in your target, query strings won't get appended unless you have the QSA, so:
RewriteRule ^foo1$ /bar? [L]
RewriteRule ^foo2$ /bar?q=2 [L]
You request /foo1?blah and you get /bar, you request /foo2?blah and you get /bar?q=2. If you include a QSA in the rewrite flags, then &blah gets appended to the end.
I got these two urls:
/portfolio/stamped_concrete
/p_details.php?id_cat=23&?id=91
I want to make the second url rewrite to:
/portfolio/stamped_concrete/23/91
stamped_concrete is a dynamic url which is why I'm at a loss of how to solve this. Also the two files (portfolio.php and p_details.php) are in the same directory if that matters.
How would I accomplish this?
EDIT:
stamped_concrete is also a variable string that I rewrote before and it works:
RewriteRule ^services/([a-z0-9_-]+)$ /services.php?url=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
so how would I call it within the RewriteRule?
would this be on the right track?
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} url=([a-z0-9_-]+)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id_cat=([0-9]+)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule /p_details.php?.* /portfolio/$1/$2/$3
Try this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id_cat=([0-9]+)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule /p_details.php?.* /portfolio/stamped_concrete/$1/$2
Might need to tweak it a bit -- not sure if the RewriteRule part is correct (sorry).
But, the important part is QUERY_STRING, see the apache docs: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html
Also, from http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RewriteQueryString
I always mix up the backreferences, so try it out, it's eiher dollar signs or percent signs (i really thought it was dollar signs...)
(QUOTE)
Making the Query String Part of the Path
Take a URL of the form http://example.com/path?var=val and transform it into http://example.com/path/var/val. Note that this particular example will work only for a single var=val pair containing only letters, numbers, and the underscore character.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(\w+)=(\w+)$
RewriteRule ^/path /path/%1/%2?
(END QUOTE)
So you could probably just say "RewriteRule ^/p_details.php /portfolio/%1/%2/%3"
