I want to make some redirects in htaccess. I will explain in detail what I'm trying to do and at the end I will tell you my question, so if you don't want lots of explains just scroll down.
So for you to understand what I am doing, here is an example: if I enter www.mysite.com/oldpage it should redirect me to www.mysite.com/new page. For this I used:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Redirect /oldpages http://www.mysite.com/newpages
The problem is that I want to use this for more than one page. So I want that:
mysite.com/oldpage/firstarticle
to redirect to
mysite.com/newpage/firstarticle
And the same with all articles. I want to redirect all like:
Redirect /oldpages http://www.mysite.com/newpages
Redirect /oldpages/firstarticle http://www.mysite.com/newpage/firstarticle
Redirect /oldpages/secondarticle http://www.mysite.com/newpage/secondarticle
But I have a conflict because Redirect /oldpage works on every case.
That's why (AND HERE IS WHAT I DON'T HOW TO DO!!!) I need to use a general rule like:
Redirect /oldpage/(*) http://mysite.com/newpage/(*)
Redirect /oldpage/(any numeric characters-don't need them)/(*) http://mysite.com/NEWSINGLEPAGE/(*)
Instead of (*) it should be any characters,but use them in the new link.
Does someone know how to make this Redirect for more than one page?
Thank you for your time!
!!!!
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S POSSIBLE BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF I COULD USE AN IF STATEMENT IN HTACCESS...SOMETHING LIKE:
if (adress is /redirect) Redirect to newpage.html;
else if (adress is /redirect/(some number)/(.*)) Redirect to NEWSINGLEPAGE/$1.html
else if (adress is /redirect/(.*)) Redirect to newpage/$1.html
Change
Redirect /oldpage/(*) http://mysite.com/newpage/(*)
To
RedirectMatch /oldpage/(*) http://mysite.com/newpage/$1
try this
RewriteRule ^oldpage/(.*)$ /newpage/$1 [R=301,L]

My website was on an old AMP plugin which added /amp/ after every post/page url.
So my home for example is: https://jeretiens.net and the amp one was https://jeretiens.net/amp/
I wanted to know what rule can I put on the .htaccess to make a redirect of all these /amp/ to the "normal" page itself.
So for example: https://example./my-article-1/amp/ redirects to https://example./my-article-1/, https://example.com/my-article-2/ redirects to https://example./my-article-2/ and it does for every article/page.
I'm sure it's possible to do it without typing 1000 lines of 301 "easy" redirects in the .htaccess !
Okay fellas,
I found the solution, this is the Redirect Rule you need to put to say goodbye to /amp/:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/amp(.*)$
RewriteRule ^ %1/ [R=301,L]
I hope it will be helpful
Unfortunately I didn't get it solved by myself and need to ask for help. I want to redirect all urls which follow a certain pattern (in this case it contains "reviews/category"). These URLs supposed to be redirect to another url which is made up the first one:
http://[product-url]/reviews/category/[category-url]
supposed to be redirect to
http://[product-url].html
Furthermore it shouldn't matter if you call the url with or without www.
Example:
http://example.com/ford-blues/reviews/category/cars supposed to be redirect to http://example.com/ford-blues.html
Any help would be much appreciated.
Following code isn't working
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^reviews/category/?$ $1\.html [R=301,L]
Try:
RedirectMatch 301 ^(.*)/reviews/category/ /$1.html
in the htaccess file in your document root.
Or using mod_rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/reviews/category/ /$1.html [L,R=301]
We have an existing site, let's call it ourdomain.com. We moved content over from a site that is shutting down, let's call it legacydomain.com. We pointed the legacy domain at our server to the /public_html/ folder.
What I need is an .htaccess that will redirect legacydomain.com or legacydomain/anything-here to ourdomain.com/legacydomain/ with nothing else appended to the URL.
However, I also need a few specific URLs to redirect to certain destinations, and they don't really follow a pattern. For example:
legacydomain.com/something.html to ourdomain.com/legacydomain/something.html
legacydomain.com/another.html to ourdomain.com/legacydomain/folder/another.html
This is what I have tried:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.legacydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.ourdomain.com/legacydomain/$1 [R=301,L]
Redirect 301 /something.html http://www.ourdomain.com/legacydomain/another.html
It mostly works, but if I visit legacydomain.com/anything-here it doesn't even attempt to rewrite, it just keeps the domain the same and gives a 404. And also I have a feeling that even if it did work, something like legacydomain.com/anything-here/more-stuff would get rewritten as ourdomain.com/legacydomain/anything-here/more-stuff which I don't want.
Only other thing in the .htaccess is rewriting non-www to www, and the standard WordPress stuff. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Everything above should have an http:// and www in front for the examples, but it wouldn't let me post that many "links".
For each specific rewrite you would need two lines, as follows. Depending on your existing config you may need to add a slash at the beginning of the RewriteRule in front of something.html if this doesn't work.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} legacydomain.com
RewriteRule something.html http://ourdomain.com/legacydomain/something.html [R=301,L]
Then you would use a catch-all for everything else.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} legacydomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://ourdomain.com/legacydomain/ [R=301,L]
Personally, I would go for the simplest solution which doesn't use mod_rewrite. First, just redirect the specific pages to wherever they need to go.
Redirect 301 /something.html http://ourdomain.com/legacydomain/something.html
Redirect 301 /another.html http://ourdomain.com/legacydomain/another.html
Then, simply redirect everything else to the base URL.
RedirectMatch 301 (.*) http://ourdomain.com/legacydomain/
These must be put in your .htaccess file before the RewriteEngine on statement.
Hi I tried various methods with modewriter in htaccess shown in other threads. I want to redirect my url from www.example.com/categories.php?category=1 to www.example.com/categories/science.
I would really appreciate an example too where I'm wrong. Thank You.
Assuming that it is just this one URL you want to redirect it would be like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^category=1$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^categories.php$ www.example.com/categories/science/? [L,R=301]
This is in case you are using a .htaccess file, otherwise add a prepending slash:
RewriteRule ^/categories.php$ www.example.com/categories/science/? [L,R=301]
The querystring wil be discarded. Only put [R] if you want to show it to the user in the addressbar of the browser. Consider which status you want to serve, Google likes 301 if it's permanent.
Next you have to catch the incoming request with an index.php in the directory www.example.com/categories/science
good luck!
How to redirect my url - www.example.com/home.php?rid=888601032
to www.example.com/examplepage.php
i have tried several htaccess codes 7 Im new to htccess, I would appreciate if someone can give me the correct redirect code.
The redirect you need is incredibly simple.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(home\.php)?\?rid=888601032\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(home\.php)?$ http://www.example.com/examplepage.php? [R=301,L]
It redirects any root request with the RID within it.
The syntax is:
redirect accessed-file URL-to-go-to
There are 3 parts;
(1) the Redirect command,
(2) the location of the file/directory you want redirected, and
(3) the full URL of the location you want that request sent to.
These parts are separated by a single space and should be on one line.
For example, if you want to redirect users from oldfile.html in the www directory of your account, myaccount, to newpage.html, the syntax should be
redirect /~myaccount/oldfile.html http://www.indiana.edu/~myaccount/newpage.html
Put this in yout .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} rid=888601032
RewriteRule ^home.php examplepage.php [R,L,QSA]
If you dont want the redirect to be visible, leave the [R] flag.
Hope this helps!
Wouldn't be better to use php to do this?
if ((int)$_GET['rid'] == 888601032) // or something like this
header('Location: examplepage.php');
It depends on what you want to do, but it would be more flexible if you want to redirect to a different page depending on the "rid" parameter, or if you want to do some operation (like setting a cookie) before redirecting the user.
