I have looked but can't find anything that works. I have an old site that we have updated. They had everything under a folder called site under the root. Now all the customers who have this bookmarked I would like to redirect them, regardless of what is after the folder site (subfolders, files), to the main page of the new site instead of page not found on our new WordPress install. Any help appreciated.
Old URL: http://www.oldsite.com/site/.... to new URL http://www.newsite.com
I have tried this to no avail
Rewrite Rule ^site/(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com
Thanks.
try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} oldsite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This redirects something like http://www.oldsite.com/site/some-page.html to http://www.newsite.com/some-page.html (the matching bit of the URI after /site/ gets carried over in the 301 redirect), but if you want to redirect everything for /site/ to the index root of newsite, replace the target in the RewriteRule to http://www.newsite.com/ (remove the $1 bit).
EDIT:
I actually write it wrong above. It is actually the same domain name. The question should read old URL mysite.com/site.... everything under this folder to just redirect to mysite.com
Then what you want is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
Or alternatively with mod_alias:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/site/(.*)$ /$1
Looks like all you need is this simple 1 liner rule:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^site/ / [R=301,L,NC]

In .htaccess I want to redirect urls like this:
/products.php/a7-frames
/products.php/a6-frames
to this:
/picture-frames/a7-frames
/picture-frames/a6-frames
So need to substitute products.php with picture-frames.
After a lot of Googling I tried this:
RewriteBase /
RedirectMatch 301 (.*)\.php/?$ https://www.domainname.com/picture-frames$1
But it doesnt work, if I enter this url: /products.php/a7-frames the browser says there are too many redirects and goes to:
/picture-frames/index
It's substituting the products.php for picture-frames which is great, but I'm not sure why it adds "index" on the end rather than the /a7-frames part of the url? How can I fix this?
You can use these rules in your site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
# external redirect from actual URL to pretty one
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+products\.php/([^\s?]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /picture-frames/%1? [R=302,L,NE]
# internal forward from pretty URL to actual one
RewriteRule ^picture-frames/([^/]+)/?$ products.php/$1 [L,NC]
Make sure to clear your browser cache before testing this change.
I have a Wordpress blog at the following URL:
www.example.com/Folder1/blog
I want to move it up one folder to:
www.example.com/blog
After moving all Wordpress files, I want to write a .htaccess rule that will redirect ALL my old links to the new ones automatically, like:
www.example.com/Folder1/blog/article-one
to
www.example.com/blog/article-one
I've tried a lot of .htaccess rules, but none of them worked. Can someone help?
Inside /Folder1/.htaccess place this rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1 [R=302,L,NE]
Try this sample code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^folder1.*$ http://example.com/folder2/ [R=301,L]

I've been pulling my hair out trying to get a URL rewrite rule to work using .htaccess. Mod_rewrite is enabled and I have managed to get a 301 redirect to work (from /beta to /Beta/) so I know the .htaccess is able to work.
Basically I'm trying to get /Beta/Page.php?id=page&tab=services&tabid=tab1 to become /page/services (and ideally leave out the tabid if it's not going to break the site removing it).
The code I'm working with currently is:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/Beta/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ /Beta/Page.php?id=$1&tab=$2&tabid=$3
redirect 301 /beta http://www.example.com/Beta/
Any help would be gratefully received.
Remove the leading slash:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+(Beta)/[^.]+\.php\?id=([^&]+)&tab=([^\s&]*)&tabid=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2/%3/%4? [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^Beta/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ /Beta/Page.php?id=$1&tab=$2&tabid=$3 [L,QSA]
This will externally redirect:
/Beta/Page.php?id=page&tab=services&tabid=tab1
to
/Beta/page/services/tab1
and rewrite same URI internally.
Also .htaccess is per directory directive and Apache strips the current directory path (thus leading slash) from RewriteRule URI pattern.
I know how to use .htaccess to forward everything in one domain to a new domain name. But in this case, I want everything from one domain to go to a specific .html page on a different domain. That's where I'm lost. I'm trying the following but it just redirects to a folder and the page in question is in that folder but obviously, I don't want people seeing the contents of that folder. Make any sense? So example.com needs to go to yyy.com/some-page.html
This is what I'm currently using:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (www\.)?5\.xxxx\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.1.yyy.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Try:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (www\.)?5\.xxxx\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://www.1.yyy.com/some-page.html [R,L]
You can also put a blank index.html page to the directory in question to mask its contents or
you can put index.php file with this code <? header ("location: http://www.1.yyy.com/some-page.html"); ?> that will redirect a user to the desired page.
$1 is a place holder for the 1st pattern match. So if you are rewriting domaina.com/someurl/, it is attempting to load domainb.com/someurl/. Swap the $1 with the actual page --- e.g. somepage.html and it should work. But unless both of these domains are pointing to the same files/directories, the rule seems a bit overcomplicated.
So how about just a simple redirect?
Try this in your .htaccess file.
redirect 301 / http://somesite.com/somepage.html
OR you can try this.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://somesite.com/somepage.html [R=301,L]
It does work and you can test my RewriteRule below.
http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/
There must be something else going on.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.+) http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I am using Wordpress and this is my htaccess configuration file, everything seems to be working except this one. This URL:
http://olddomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/abc-1-thumb.jpg
Redirects to:
http://newdomain.com/403.shtml
Instead of:
http://newdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/abc-1-thumb.jpg
Examples:
http://mister-gan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/simple-and-clean-2.png
http://ganchinhock.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/simple-and-clean-2.png
May I know why?
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.+) http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Redirect 301 http://olddomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/abc-1-thumb.jpg http://newdomain.com/403.shtml
Upon #Wige's comment and rephrasing your question it seems that there is a permissions problem in one of the subdirectories on the new domain, as 403 is a permissions error.
