I have a Wordpress site I was developing in http://domain/dev and now it's ready and I moved it to http://domain. Problem is, there are still some img tags etc. that point to http://domain/dev/wp-content/and-so-on. How would I rewrite these? I already tried RewriteRule ^/dev/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301]. Wouldn't work.
Your rewrite rule: RewriteRule ^/dev/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301]
The leading slash ^/ is not present in the URI-path tested in the rewrite rule. Therefore, can't be in the regex either.
Try this in one .htaccess file at domain/dev directory.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*) /$1 [NC,L]
Since there is no WP install at domain/dev at this moment, that's the best place to put the .htaccess file with this code. You can delete everything else.
It might be as simple as you lacking the line:
RewriteEngine on
...at the top of your .htaccess-file:

I have a site with a folder, and a htaccess file within that folder. For the index.php file within that folder, I want to rewrite the querystring for a certain parameter, so that typing in this URL:
www.example.com/myfolder/myparameter
Behaves like this (ie makes $_GET['parameter'] = 'myparameter' in my code)
www.example.com/myfolder/index.php?parameter=myparameter
I have looked at many questions on StackOverflow, but have not managed to get this working. My code so far is
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ %0 [QSA]
But that just isn't working at all.
Please use this code
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) index\.php?parameter=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (^.*/)([^/]+)$ $1index\.php?parameter=$2 [L,QSA]

sorry use #somasundaram's answer. Per-directory .htaccess rewrite rules lose the directory prefix:
When using the rewrite engine in .htaccess files the per-directory prefix (which always is the same for a specific directory) is automatically removed for the RewriteRule pattern matching and automatically added after any relative (not starting with a slash or protocol name) substitution encounters the end of a rule set. See the RewriteBase directive for more information regarding what prefix will be added back to relative substitutions.
(from the apache docs)
I want to make it so that if a visitor navigates to:
http://www.website.com/folder
They get redirected to:
http://www.website.com/FOLDER
It is only for this specific folder that I want to affect (or intend to).
I have tried:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /FOLDER/
RewriteRule ^folder(/.*)?$ /FOLDER$1 [L,R=301]
But I don't think that is right
In the htaccess file in your document root,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^folder(/.*)?$ /FOLDER$1 [L,R=301]
should be good enough. You don't need the rewrite base but I don't think that'll affect it.
I have looked but can't find anything that works. I have an old site that we have updated. They had everything under a folder called site under the root. Now all the customers who have this bookmarked I would like to redirect them, regardless of what is after the folder site (subfolders, files), to the main page of the new site instead of page not found on our new WordPress install. Any help appreciated.
Old URL: http://www.oldsite.com/site/.... to new URL http://www.newsite.com
I have tried this to no avail
Rewrite Rule ^site/(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com
Thanks.
try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} oldsite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This redirects something like http://www.oldsite.com/site/some-page.html to http://www.newsite.com/some-page.html (the matching bit of the URI after /site/ gets carried over in the 301 redirect), but if you want to redirect everything for /site/ to the index root of newsite, replace the target in the RewriteRule to http://www.newsite.com/ (remove the $1 bit).
EDIT:
I actually write it wrong above. It is actually the same domain name. The question should read old URL mysite.com/site.... everything under this folder to just redirect to mysite.com
Then what you want is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
Or alternatively with mod_alias:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/site/(.*)$ /$1
Looks like all you need is this simple 1 liner rule:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^site/ / [R=301,L,NC]
How can I translate an URL like:
http://localhost/mySite/?link=OFFERS&sublink=ARTICLE&subsublink=DETAIL
to:
http://localhost/mySite/OFFERS/ARTICLE/DETAIL
if one parameter is empty it should still work like this:
localhost/mySite/?link=OFFERS&sublink=ARTICLE
localhost/mySite/OFFERS/ARTICLE
Extra problem: There is an enter page under index.php and the rewrite should work with index2.php. Best would be if it would work under localhost and on live system without changes.
Currently I'm using: RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ index2.php?link=$1 [L]
But that only works for one parameter and I couldn't improve this code for ages ^^
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)(/([^/.]+))?(/([^/.]+))?$ index2.php?link=$1&sublink=$3&subsublink=$5 [L,QSA]
Note that localhost/mySite/OFFERS/ARTICLE links to localhost/mySite/?link=OFFERS&sublink=ARTICLE&sussublink= and not localhost/mySite/?link=OFFERS&sublink=ARTICLE.
Should not be a big issue, but make sure the PHP code doesn't us isset($_GET['subsublink']).
Try adding the following to your htaccess file in the mysitedirectory of your site.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /mysite/
# rewrite http://localhost/mySite/OFFERS/ARTICLE/DETAIL to
# http://localhost/mySite/?link=OFFERS&sublink=ARTICLE&subsublink=DETAIL
#assumes that index2.php is in the root directory of site
RewriteRule ^([-a-zA-Z0-9])+/([-a-zA-Z0-9])+/([-a-zA-Z0-9])+ index2.php?link=$1&sublink=$2&subsublink=$3 [NC,L]
#redirect index to index2
#if you do not want to redirect, just server rewrite, remove the R=301 below
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ index2.php [NC,L,R=301]
I have my main Joomla installation in a subdirectory. I used to redirect users from www.mysite.com to www.mysite.com/subdir with a 301 so that the live site was entirely dislocated over there.
I don't actually like the fact that all the URL are preceded by the subdirectory /subdir/ (and I also think this is not very good for SEO) so I modified my .htaccess file like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Add trailing slash if path does not contain a period or end with a slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.|/$)
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1/ [R=301,L]
#Change http://yoursite.com to http://www.mysite.com (Optional)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com$
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
#Rewrites http://www.mysite.com/subdir to http://www.mysite.com/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subdir/$1 [L]
I also edited the configuration file for Joomla! so that now all the links in the site point (correctly) to www.main.com/theirquery and noto to www.main.com/subdir/theirquery
Now, however, all the old links (that have been posted to other webistes, for example) appears to be broken (404): how can I solve this?
I think I have to redirect (301) them to the new subdirectory-free address, that will be (another time) silently redirected with the htaccess I posted.
But I don't know how to do this!
Thank you in advance!
Can you try setting the $live_site parameter in configuration.php? You need to edit it directly rather than through the backend of Joomla.
You need to add this to your htaccess.
RewriteRule ^subdir/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
This is not possible since the old links where not physical but stored in a database, so redirecting them wouldn't be possible without passing through the database again.
