I am creating htaccess for my site I need to redirect old urls to new url through 301 redirect. I have created code in htaccess as follows
My old urls like
www.example.com/categories/city/cityname/brandname/product1.html
and my new url is like
www.example.com/product1.html
For this scenario I have written following code in htaccess
RedirectMatch 301 ^/categories/city/cityname/(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1
Please help me regarding this scenario or where I am doing wrong.
Try using mod_rewrite's functionality in your .htaccess like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/categories/city/cityname/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
Referring to #Seybsen answer, this 1 line should fit all your needs :
RewriteRule ^/([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z]+)/(.*)$ /$5 [R=301,L]

I had to change the name of a subpage and now the problem is that all shared links on Facebook, Twitter, etc. are not working anymore.
That's why I am trying to redirect only a part of a URL with .htaccess but I have no solution yet.
It should work like this:
www.mydomain.com/feeds/details/ --> www.mydomain.com/highlights/details/
I hope you can help me!
It will depend on your server but you are looking for something along these lines
//Rewrite to www
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com[nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
//301 Redirect Entire Directory
RedirectMatch 301 /feeds(.*) /highlights/$1
You can try rewriting the URL using RewriteRule, like follows:
.htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/feeds/details$ /highlights/details/
Hope, that works for you.
You can find more information here.
I took your tip and adjusted my reality.
My problem:
https://example.com/contact/example.com
My solution:
RedirectMatch 301 (.*)/example.com(.*) $1/$2
After solution, redirect:
https://example.com/contact/
I don't know much about .htaccess, but I'm trying to help a friend who recently moved his blog to Wordpress.
We need to redirect the OLD archive pages like this:
www.domain.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
www.domain.com/2010_04_02_archive.html
www.domain.com/2010_04_03_archive.html
to NEW archive pages like this:
www.domain.com/2010/04/01
www.domain.com/2010/04/02
www.domain.com/2010/04/03
I've tried everything I can find using htaccess redirect and rewrite, but again, I don't really know what I'm doing with htaccess!
Thanks so much for your help,
Amanda
OK tried this:
Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})_archive.html$ /$1/$2/$3 [L,R=301]
in .htaccess in the very top level folder of my site. Still, when I go to http://www.bikermetric.com/2010_04_01_archive.html, it doesn't redirect.
Just tried this too:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/([0-9]{4})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})_archive.html$ /$1/$2/$3
Still nothing.
You can use mod_alias or mod_rewrite here. You'll want to stick with using mod_rewrite if you already have rewrite rules (stuff that look like RewriteEngine or RewriteRule):
mod_alias:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/([0-9]{4})_([0-9]{2})_([0-9]{2})_archive.html$ /$1/$2/$3
mod_rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})_([0-9]{2})_([0-9]{2})_archive.html$ /$1/$2/$3 [L,R=301]
You'd want to add it to the htaccess file in your document root.
I'am trying to update .htaccess to redirect me from : page.php/name to page.php?id=name. Can anyone help with example? I find a lot of example but not for this case.
To redirect (telling the browser that the request for page.php/name is at page.php?id=name, thus changing the URL in the location bar) you can do one of two things.
Using mod_alias:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/page\.php/(.*)$ /page.php?id=$1
Or using mod_rewrite:
RewriteRule ^/?page\.php/(.*)$ /page.php?id=$1 [QSA,L,R=301]
If you don't want a permanent redirect (301), then remove the 301 and =301 parts from the above.
I did some htaccess URL rewrite. To keep my google ranking I must redirect the old URL to the new one; the problem is the old URL still 'exist' and I'm not sure how to do the redirect. This is an example:
old url: mypage.php?id=myId
which now is rewritten as: mypage-myId.html
this is the htaccess directive
RewriteRule ^mypage-([A-Za-z0-9_-]+).html$ mypage.php?id=$1 [L]
now I want to 301 redirect all the old url (mypage.php?id=myIds) to the new url (mypage-myIds.html).
I tried this at the top of my htaccess file:
redirect 301 mypage.php?id=1 to mypage-1.html
but nothing happens, the page stays on mypage.php?id=1.
What's wrong with this? I found another post about this problem
url rewrite & redirect question
but the solution wasn't that clear to me.
Thanks in advance

You could try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)$ # fetch ID
RewriteRule ^mypage\.php$ http://domain.com/mypage-%1.html [R=301,L] # redirect old URL to new
RewriteRule ^mypage-([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)\.html$ mypage.php?id=$1 [L] # rewrite
I am a newbie and would like to redirect all my old urls to new ones (moved as subfolder) via htaccess. Also, with 301 permanent redirect.
Old url pattern looks like:
http://www.mydomain.com/de/myoldpage.html
New url pattern should be:
http://www.mydomain.com/shop/de/myoldpage.html
I am using the same domain and same page urls but only my shop is moved to a subfolder "shop".
How can i write a redirect rule to redirect all the urls in this pattern.
Thanks in advance.
Try this code in your .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(de/.*)$ /shop/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^de/(.*)$ shop/de/$1 [L,R]
