My rule looks like this:
RewriteRule ^page-parent.*$ http://www.domain.com/new-page/?%{QUERY_STRING} [R=301,L]
My issue is that there is a page /page-parent/thanks that I don't want to be redirect.
I am also passing the query string along so that any ?gclid= string will go with.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to exclude a single sub page or all sub pages, which would work too.
Any help is appreciated.
You can check with a RewriteCond if the requested page is the page you want to exclude.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/page-parent/thanks
RewriteRule ^page-parent.*$ http://www.domain.com/new-page/ [R=301,L,QSA]
Make sure that you clean the browser cache when retrying since 301-redirects get cached.
Note: You don't need to append the query string manually.
You can use mod_rewrite to create a condition:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/page-parent/thanks
RewriteRule ^page-parent.*$ http://www.domain.com/new-page/ [R=301,L]
Note that you can leave out the ?%{QUERY_STRING} from your target, because query strings are appended to the target by default unless you've added new params via a ?.

This is so elementary that you have to ask why it is so complex to implement.
Simply need to redirect one url to another on the same domain, the url contains query string aparams though:
I tried:
RewriteRule ^article.php?section=exclusive&id=543 articles/view/4639 [R=301,L]
I get page cannot be found - the redirect is not happening. I have other re-directs in the same htaccess which work. The query string params are causing problems, and escaping them also does not help.
Note the id's of the two urls are not the same and therefore I don't want a clever re-write rule which converts from one url to another with the query strings mapped to new params. I just want a fast and dirty mapping from A to B.
UPDATE
I tried this it redirects but it is adding my old query string to the end of the new url. How can I prevent that?
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/article\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^section=exclusive
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.onlinegooner.com/articles/view/3000 [R=301,L]
Input url is: mydomain.com/article.php?section=exclusive
You may use this rule:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^section=exclusive [NC]
RewriteRule ^article\.php$ /articles/view/3000? [R=301,L,NC]
? in the target will strip off previous query string.
I have searched but cannot find a specific answer for this exact redirect style...
I have this structure of URL with this specific parameter:
https://websitename.com/directory/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart
I want it redirected to:
https://websitename.com/shopping-cart/
Note that the above mentioned "directory" changes, but the index.php with the parameters stay the same. No matter what the directory is, I always want it to go to the same exact redirect.
I cannot seem to get the right redirect working in htaccess. Can anyone help?
You can use this redirect rule as your first rule in site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /(?:index\.php)?\?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /shopping-cart/? [L,R=308]
# remaining rules go below this
You can use a set like this. It takes care on the param view=cart
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)view=cart
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /shopping-cart/? [L,NC,R=301]
If you want to keep the querystring params, then change
/shopping-cart/?
to
/shopping-cart/
without questionmark
Please help me in writing correct .htaccess code to get the wanted result.
I have the following pages:
www.mydomain.com/?exam=/hp-certification/
www.mydomain.com/?exam=/cisco-certification/
www.mydomain.com/?exam=/oracle-exam-prep/
www.mydomain.com/?exam=/faq/
www.mydomain.com/?exam=/support/
And there are many more pages but you can notice that the fixed part is: www.mydomain.com/?exam=
Instead of using query string links, I want the following links to work as above pages:
www.mydomain.com/hp-certification/
www.mydomain.com/cisco-certification/
www.mydomain.com/oracle-exam-prep/
www.mydomain.com/faq/
www.mydomain.com/support/
and so on.
your link should be like this www.mydomain.com/?exam=hp-certification/ and the rewrite rule would like this in .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ /?exam=$1 [L]
You can do that by using the following rules in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} exam=(.+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/%1? [R=301,NC,L]
So what does the above do?
First, it will take the query exam= as a condition, if this condition is met then it will grab any version of the variable using (.+).
It will then rewrite the URL using 301 redirection to show http://www.example.com/anything/. The use of %1 is to grab the variable from exam= and then we use ? to stop the original query string from appearing on the end of the newly rewritten URL.
Make sure you clear your cache before testing this.
Trying to make the url:
www.google.com/forum.php?fid=5
Redirect to:
www.google.com/new.php?fid=5
But also need it to keep everything else intact because for example the link can be:
www.google.com/forum.php?fid=5&sortby=asc
And need sortby portion to be there upon redirect.
What the redirect needs to do is look for forumdisplay.php and fid=6 and when both are found in the same url it redirects to blog.php and removes fid=6 but keeps any other parameters there.
I searched and found how to do it with one string but not two.
Also, what's the difference between redirect and rewrite?
This is related to MyBB forum software. I made a separate php file that uses forumdisplay but with a new name.
Using mod_rewrite you could use a condition to verify the id and grab what comes after if anything:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/forumdisplay.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^fid=6(&.*|.*)
RewriteRule ^.*$ /blog.php?%1 [R=301,L]
I have limited .htaccess knowledge and requires some help. I need to redirect all page request to www.newdomain.com except for www.olddomain/page.json but the query string get dropped when it redirect. how can i preserve it? thankyou very much!
Current code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/page.json
RewriteRule (.*) http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Edit: Just to make it clear, i only need to stay on page.json on the old domain, lets say user request for www.olddomain.com/page1.json?session=gVgr30ExUlM
i need to redirect to
www.newdomain.com/page1.json?session=gVgr30ExUlM
BUT when it is www.olddomain.com/page.json?=LKJHGF i need it to stay on that old domain and wont redirect is it possible?
Use the [QSA] flag ("query string append")
You need to add [QSA] and optionally [NE] which should give you:
RewriteRule (.*) http://newdomain.com/$1 [QSA,NE,R=301,L]
