I hava a some problem in .htaccess..
my site url is for ex. www.example.com/
when we go to city page using dropdown..its come to index.php?city=cityname (its to be correct)
when we go to about us page it comes to be indexpage instead of about us page
city page url : www.example.com/cityname
about us url : www.example.com/about-us
below htaccess code;
when we go about us page it comes to index page
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?city=$1
RewriteRule ^about-us$ about_us.php
You need to just change the order of rewrites. So, use this:
RewriteRule ^about-us$ about_us.php
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?city=$1

My website generates page URL with the prefix ?Script=, which is not SEO-friendly.
I want to remove this prefix and just keep the page title.
For example, I want to convert the following URL:
example.com/?Script=about to example.com/about
about is the About page of my website.
I want to set up a rule for omitting ?Script= for all pages.
I have managed to do it for my blog post by using the following rewrite rule.
RewriteRule ^news/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+) ?Script=news_view&uid=$1
This should work for you .
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(about)/?$ /?script?=$1 [L]
If you have more pages , you can add those pages to the pattern
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(about|page2|page3)/?$ /?script?=$1 [L]
I'm trying to convert the dynamic urls (with query string) of my website to friendly ones. That's the first time for me and I'm doing it for seo optimization.
I reached the point where if I type the friendly url, the browser sends me to the equivalent dinamic url (and I see the friendly url in the navigation bar), but if I navigate inside the website the navigation bar still shows me the url with the query.
Is that right?
Here's my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.it
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.it/$1
RewriteRule (.*).html$ /$1.php [R=302]
RewriteRule ^ita/([A-Za-z0-9\-\+]+).php$ $1.php?lang=it [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^eng/([A-Za-z0-9\-\+]+).php$ $1.php?lang=en [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^ita/kiwishop/([A-Za-z0-9\-\+]+).php$ kiwishop.php?shop=$1&lang=it [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^eng/kiwishop/([A-Za-z0-9\-\+]+).php$ kiwishop.php?shop=$1&lang=en [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml ./sitemap.php [L]
Should I also do the opposite operation (I mean set a rewriterule that rewrite the dinamic url into the friendly one)? If so, how can I do that?
Another question: which url should I put in the sitemap.xml, the friendly one or the one with the query?
You need to change all links on your site to the friendly URLs.
You should put in the sitemap whatever URL you want to show in search engines. It sounds like you want that to be the friendly URL.
I would like to change the URL structure of my site. My current URL structure is like this:
www.domain.com/events/events.php?location=san%20francisco
I want to change the URL structure to:
www.domain.com/events/san-francisco
My XMPL site map has the URLs listed like the first example. I want the search engines to index the URL like the second example. What are all the things I need to do to achieve this? The {city} in the location parameter is dynamic depending on the user's IP address. Do I need to change my XML sitemap to list new URL structure? What do I need to put in my .htaccess file. Do I need to change the actual URLs links on my website to the new structure or can I just use .htaccess?
This should work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|POST)\ /events\.php\?location=(.*)%20(.*)\ HTTP
RewriteRule ^ /events/%2-%3\? [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^events/(.*)$ /events.php?location=$1 [L]
Changing R=302 to R=301 when you know it redirect correctly
EDIT:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|POST)\ /(.*)/(.*)\.php\?location=(.*)%20(.*)&lid=(.*)&slid=(.*)\ HTTP
RewriteRule ^ /%3/%4-%5/%6/%7\? [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ /$1/$1.php?location=$2&lid=$3&slid=$4 [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|POST)\ /(.*)/(.*)\.php\?location=(.*)%20(.*)\ HTTP
RewriteRule ^ /%3/%4-%5\? [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ /$1/$1.php?location=$2 [L]
You have to use a .htaccess file similar to the one below. It will match fancy URL and forward the request to the right php file.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/(.*)$ /$1/$1.php?location=$2
With this, both www.domain.com/events/events.php?location=san%20francisco and www.domain.com/events/san-francisco will lead to the same page.
But if you don't change your sitemap nor the links on your site, search engines won't know that.
You have then 2 solutions :
change all your links in your site and sitemap with the new structure URL
use a redirect rule to redirect "old" pages to the "new" ones
From what I know about SEO, the first option is the best. Or even better, a combination of both solutions : change all your links, and use a redirect 301 rule so pages already indexed by search engines will not lost their ranking and to avoid duplicate content.
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/(.*).php?location=(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1/$3 [R=301]
I'd like to use htaccess to rewrite or redirect all urls that have the string Page-1- and make them go to the original url. e.g.
original url : http://www.website.com/blahblah
assuming the above url is a category with many pages and user has gone to page 2 and through that page he/she wants to return to page 1. As it is now, hitting page 1 at the pagination list , it will take him/her to
http://www.website.com/blahblah/Page-1- (number of results per page)
I'd like to make all urls with Page-1- go to the original url instead
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/Page-1- /$1 [L,R]
Try with QSA
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/Page-1- /$1 [L,QSA,R=301]
Could someone tell me how to rewrite this URL. I have looked at a lot of questions on stackoverflow but they seem to be missing my answer.
RewriteEngine On
That is what I have... its a bit poor.
I need to rewrite url's if they do not point to a directory.
I need to do this...
any.domain.com/pages/some-page-slug/login
To be rewritten to the correct url of...
any.domain.com/pages/login.php?page=32
Does anyone have any ideas on how this can be achieved?
1) Rewriting product.php?id=12 to product-12.html
It is a simple redirection in which .php extension is hidden from the browser’s address bar and dynamic url (containing “?” character) is converted into a static URL.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^product-([0-9]+)\.html$ product.php?id=$1
2) Rewriting product.php?id=12 to product/ipod-nano/12.html
SEO expert always suggest to display the main keyword in the URL. In the following URL rewriting technique you can display the name of the product in URL.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^product/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([0-9]+)\.html$ product.php?id=$2
3) Redirecting non www URL to www URL
If you type yahoo.com in browser it will be redirected to www.yahoo.com. If you want to do same with your website then put the following code to .htaccess file. What is benefit of this kind of redirection?? Please check the post about SEO friendly redirect (301) redirect in php and .htaccess.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^optimaxwebsolutions\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.optimaxwebsolutions.com/$1 [R=301,L]
4) Rewriting yoursite.com/user.php?username=xyz to yoursite.com/xyz
Have you checked zorpia.com.If you type http://zorpia.com/roshanbh233 in browser you can see my profile over there. If you want to do the same kind of redirection i.e http://yoursite.com/xyz to http://yoursite.com/user.php?username=xyz then you can add the following code to the .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ user.php?username=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ user.php?username=$1
5) Redirecting the domain to a new subfolder of inside public_html.
Suppose the you’ve redeveloped your site and all the new development reside inside the “new” folder of inside root folder.Then the new development of the website can be accessed like “test.com/new”. Now moving these files to the root folder can be a hectic process so you can create the following code inside the .htaccess file and place it under the root folder of the website. In result, www.test.com point out to the files inside “new” folder.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.test\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/new/
RewriteRule (.*) /new/$1
TO do this you need to write a front controller.
See here, here, here, and here.
Alternatively in Apache you can rewrite this
any.domain.com/pages/32/login
or this:
any.domain.com/32/login
or even this:
any.domain.com/some-slug/32/login
to this:
any.domain.com/pages/login.php?page=32
One way or another to do this with only apache you need to supply the page id in some fashion. Keep in mind even with format any.domain.com/some-slug/32/login the content of the slug is irrelevant and won't necessarily link to the correct page. Which I imagine is undesirable and bad for SEO.
Another alternative is using RewriteMap. But this will be tricky and require reloading apache configurations whenever a page/slug is created/edit.
I understand that pages and login are static in this case and some-page-slug is changing. And you always want to redirect to static page /pages/login.php?page=32
So this is how to do it:
1) Rewrite
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pages/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/login(.*)$ /pages/login.php?page=32
or 2) Redirect Pernament
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pages/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/login(.*)$ /pages/login.php?page=32 [R=301,L]
or 3) Redirect Temporary
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pages/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/login(.*)$ /pages/login.php?page=32 [R=302,L]
