htaccess url issue - .htaccess

I am trying to redirect all pages(domain.com/xxx-xxx-xxx) to new urls domain.com/np/xxx-xxx-xxx and i have tried following rule...
RedirectMatch 301 ^/([^\-]+)-([^/]+)-([^/]+) /np/$1-$2-$3/
It works but it is appending too many /np in url, check following for example
I have tried accessing http://www.domain.com/web-design-services and it becomes http://www.domain.com/np/np/np/np/np/np/np/np/np/np/np/np/np/np/np/np/np/np/np/‌​np/web-design-services can you please explain why is this happening?


Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^-]+-[^-]+-[^-]+)/?$ np/$1 [L,R]

How to rewrite the base URL?

I need to make a rewrite rule that if anyone writes website url (the main one),
www.domain.com
it will show
www.domain.com/1
But if someone looks for anything else, for example:
www.domain.com/2
it will show the requested url,
www.domain.com/2
I need only to rewrite the base root /.
Thank you for your help,
Adam :)

# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/?$ /1 [L]

htaccess delete characters from url and redirect

I want to strip _/ from url.
Example: mysite.com/_/something want to redirect to mysite.com/something

Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^_/(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301]

I assume you just want to do a redirect correct?
RedirectMatch 301 ^/_/$ http://mysite.com/something
If you have Go Daddy hosting then you would have to do this:
/wordpress-testing-website/ is the folder where this testing site exists. The post name is "test_" in this example
RedirectMatch 301 ^/wordpress-testing-website/(.*)_/$ http://www.ait-pro.com/wordpress-testing-website/uncategorized/something/

htaccess redirect homepage to subdirectory keep url the same

I am trying to figure out how to get my .htaccess to redirect just the homepage URL to a sub directory (domain.com > domain.com/sub/sub ), but I still want the URL to display as domain.com.
I looked around for the past hour and have tried a number of suggestions that I found but nothing worked out.
Any Ideas?

Change URL but stay on the same page using htaccess

I have a URL:
www.example.com/property-listings/united-states/colorado/denver/denver-co-office-space
I want to stay on the same page above but simply display the URL in the address bar like this:
www.example.com/property-listings/united-states/colorado/denver/office-space
How do I accomplish this using htaccess and rewrite rules?

If I understood right, try writing a rule like this one:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule property-listings/united-states/colorado/denver/office-space http://www.example.com/property-listings/united-states/colorado/denver/denver-co-office-space [L]
OK. You didn't supply a pattern or mentioned there was any, so I have to guess the pattern is up to /denver/ subdirectory. Try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(property-listings/united-states/colorado/denver/)(office-space)/?$ $1denver-co-$2 [L]

Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(property-listings/united-states/colorado)/(denver)/(office-space)/?$ $1/$2/$2-co-$3 [L,NC]

Possible to change links and redirect with htaccess?

This is my .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteRule ^genre/(.*)$ /index.php?genre=$1 [R=301]
The mod_rewrite works, but so does the old link example:
/index.php?genre=action
Still works. I want to redirect it to:
/genre/action
Problem: They both work, I want the old one to redirect to the new one.
And is it possible to change links with .htaccess. Some sort of url replacing?
My links still says:
www.site.com/index.php?genre=action
I want it to change it to:
www.site.com/genre/action
Or do I have to do this manually?
Thanks!

[R=301] leads to a HTTP redirect with status code 301.
Just write
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteRule ^genre/(.*)$ /index.php?genre=$1
to rewrite the urls on the server side.
