I want to rewrite this specific URL:
https://www.domain.test/cart/?query_action=abc
...to this URL:
https://www.domain.test/cart/
The "abc" part is variable, everything else is exactly what I want to rewrite. I added these lines to my .htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^query_action\=
RewriteRule ^folder/$ /folder/? [L]
When I run this on my local environment, it works. But when I upload to our development server (WP Engine), it does not work. Are there incompatibilities with .htaccess between different servers? Does my code's proximity with WordPress' default code have anything to do with it? Is there something I can tweak in my rewrite to improve it?
Here is my entire .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^query_action\=
RewriteRule ^folder/$ /folder/? [L]
# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

We are getting a lot of 404 errors on a Real Estate website after houses are sold and the listing goes offline. I am trying, via htaccess, to redirect the missing pages that Google Search Console shows as 404 to a home listing search page. I have tried the code below but it is redirecting all listing pages not just the ones that no longer exist. Not sure if it's my code or because the pages are dynamically created.
All the home listings are under www.example.com/homes-for-sale-details/[address]. If the listing no longer exists I want the page to redirect to www.example.com/homes-for-sale-details.
My htaccess code
# Redirect old home listing to a search page
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^homes-for-sale-details/(.*)$ https://www.example.com/homes-for-sale-details [L,NC,R=301]
</IfModule>
Where are I going wrong?
Many Thanks!
Edit (added more of htaccess code):

I've tried to get this to work with the .htaccess file and could not. The issue with your script above is that you're not checking first for the 404 error, so all requests from that "folder" are being redirected. I've tried using the ErrorDocument directive in the .htaccess file with no luck, so the solution I worked out was to just use what wordpress already provides. In your themes subfolder (/wp-content/themes/THEMENAME) there should be a 404.php file. If it's not there you can create it. You can use some code at the top of this file to parse the request url and redirect the page. Something like this should work:
<?php
if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'homes-for-sale-details') !== false)
header('Location: /homes-for-sale-details', true, 301);
else {
?>
// ... paste the current 404.php content here
<?php } ?>
Just remember to back up your current 404.php page in case you overwrite something you didn't mean to. If you want to try to get this working with the ErrorDocument stuff in htaccess be my guest, but for whatever reason, it wasn't working for me. Here's a post that shows how to do that.
Good luck!
After unsuccessfully trying to find a htaccess answer slim's answer got me thinging and I found this post WordPress Template Redirect (thank you so much for your help slim!!!)
Here is the modification I made to that code.
// Redirect missing home listing to a search page.
function __404_template_redirect()
{
if( is_404() )
{
$req = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if ( is_file( $req )) {
return; // don't reduce perf by redirecting files
}
// check if "homes-for-sale-details" is in the URL
if ( strpos($req, 'homes-for-sale-details') == false ) {
return; // only redirect missing homes
}
// pull the parent directory and convert to site url
$parent_url = get_permalink( 1232 );
// redirect to parent directory
wp_redirect( $parent_url, 301 );
exit();
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', '__404_template_redirect' );
On this website and on wamp localhost
http://www.aproapetot.ro/page.php?categ_id=1&id=1
http://localhost/aproapetot-backup/page.php?categ_id=1&id=1
I tried to build the .htaccess, but without any success.
This is what I wrote for online website:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^page-([0-9]+).html$ page.php?categ_id=$1
RewriteRule ^page\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
</IfModule>
and this for localhost
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /aproapetot-backup/
RewriteRule index.php index.html
RewriteRule ^page-([0-9]+).html$ page.php?categ_id=$1
RewriteRule ^page\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
</IfModule>
Someone please give a little help.
It's a website with jokes so after .ro/page.php?categ_id=1&id=1 I have a category(1) and subcategory(1).
I want to have like this
.ro/jokes/doctors instead of how is now.
I'm not entirely sure what you want based upon the htaccess content, but what I do understand is that you want /jokes/doctors is rewritten to /pages.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !pages.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /pages.php [L]
The above code will rewrite all requests to pages.php, as long as:
%{REQUEST_FILENAME} "!-f": The file itself does not exist on the server.
%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !pages.php: The request is not made to pages.php (meaning that it already has been rewritten)
Finally you can use PHP to obtain the parameters using:
/* Get all parameters from the URL */
$_GET['path'] = rawurldecode( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
/* Remove double slashes and backslahses and convert all slashes and backslashes to '/' */
$_GET['path'] = preg_replace( array('#[/\\\\]+#', '/(\/\.)+(\/)/'), '/', $_GET['path']);
$_GET['path'][0] should contain "jokes"
$_GET['path'][0] should contain "doctors"
==edit==
Redirecting using htaccess (not the best method)
Redirect 301 /page.php?categ_id=6&id=0 /anecdotes
Redirect 301 /page.php?categ_id=1&id=1 /jokes/doctors
PHP (or other server side script). You can perform a check if the url is in fact having numbers (see $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) and ifso, add some header redirection to your page.
<?PHP
header('Location: www.aproapetot.ro/' . $cat . '/' . $subcat );
?>
I need to rewrite an url like /services/rental/faq-2/ so that the user (and robots) see /services/rental/faq/
This is my current .htaccess (it's Wordpress) with no successful rewrite:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/services/rental/faq/?$ /services/rental/faq-2/ [NC,L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Any of the hints I searched actually worked, maybe rule order is important or (most probable) I have no idea on how to do it
Your external URL is /services/rental/faq[/]. This is the one produced by links in your pages, and is the one robots and users see. It is NOT produced by .htaccess -- .htaccess only sees incoming URIs.
Try moving your new RewriteRule up before all the other WordPress RewriteRules (after the RewriteBase).
My local site have project folder http://127.0.0.1/myproject/index.php. I want to be able to map its URL so if someone enters http://127.0.0.1/myproject/service, it should display the same content or perform the same functionality as index.php does.
I tried some example on different site but couldn't get it done.
What I tried so far is :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)\myproject\service$ $index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /myproject/
RewriteRule service index.php [L,QSA]
First, setup the base to rewrite. In the rule, all paths are now relative to the base, not absolute.
The flag L denotes no other rules should be applied.
The flag QSA denotes that the query string should be appended.
For more information: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html
I would even go as far as to say, check what Wordpress is giving you:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /myproject/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /myproject/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
