I have a website set up where I store all my user profiles in /member-centre/member-directory/USERNAME
My problem is that a number of referrals are posting to a depreciated structure of /members/USERNAME
Is there a way I can configure my .htaccess file to automatically post the requested USERNAME to the correct location? All i've found on google is static redirection.
If this is not possible through .htaccess, is there another method I could use?
Many thanks in advance
If you are looking for a redirect solution, Jon Lin's will work fine. If you want to do a rewrite then put the following in your .htaccess file in the root of your domain
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/members/([^/]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule . member-centre/member-directory/%1 [L]
if member/centre etc is relative to the root filesystem and not your domain then replace the last line with (just leading slash)
RewriteRule . /member-centre/member-directory/%1 [L]
Do you mean something like:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/members/([^/]+)/? /member-centre/member-directory/$1
This redirects the browser with a permanent redirect.
Try something like this:
RewriteRule ^members/ /member-centre/member-directory/ [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/$2
After solution, redirect:
https://example.com/contact/
I've just spent the last 2 hours trawling through Google and the Stackoverflow archives to see if I could find an answer to my question and instead of finding nothing, I've found too much! So unfortunately I'm having to add to the mountain of 301 redirect questions. Sorry. And thanks for taking a look at this one ;)
Basically, I've got a blog for which I'm looking to simplify the URL. Currently the URLs look like this:
http://tempertemper.net/post.php?s=2012-05-30-freeagent
I'd like them to look like this:
http://tempertemper.net/2012-05-30-freeagent
I've tried adding RewriteRule /(.*)$ /post.php?s=$1 to my .htaccess file but it's not having it.
The full file currently looks like this:
<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
ErrorDocument 404 http://tempertemper.net/error.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.tempertemper\.net$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !cron.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://tempertemper.net/$1 [R=301,L]
</ifModule>
I've tried adding this after the canonicalisation bit that redirects www. to non www.:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ post.php?s=$1
It sort of works. I can then link to http://tempertemper.net/2012-05-30-freeagent but the problem is, http://tempertemper.net/post.php?s=2012-05-30-freeagent still exists. This is more than likely bad for seo as I guess I'll have duplicate content, in the eyes of the search engines. I've tried putting a [R=301] on the end of the new line but it stops the new link working. Also tried putting the ,L in the square brackets and removing it from the canonicalisation command, but no joy (L is for last command, isn't it…?).
Basically, I'm after all URLs that generate or have generated with post.php?s= in them to permanently redirect to the ones without post.php?s= so that any links that come in to those pages already are redirected and any links in the future will direct straight to the new-look URL.
Hope that makes sense…
Thanks,
Martin :)
Apache actually fixes local paths => proper fully qualified names (my original assumption), but I see that your file actualy checks for the wrong files. Using your supplied file I think this will work as the file contents:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
ErrorDocument 404 http://tempertemper.net/error.php
RewriteEngine On
# don't redirect post.php to itself
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !post.php
# don't redirect error.php to post.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !error.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "/post.php?$1" [R=301,L]
I have just moved from Drupal + Wordpress to a site completely built in WordPress.
Duly I have a set of images where the files no longer exist and need to try and keep all the images in the one folder (if possible). Duly I need to send requests for any gif|png|jpg that are for http://www.domain.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/ to http://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads.
If anyone could help would be appreciated - my .htaccess aint what it once was. Thanks in advance
If you google for "htaccess redirect", the top link is this:
http://www.htaccessredirect.net/
If you use the "301 Redirect Directory" section, you get this code:
//301 Redirect Entire Directory
RedirectMatch 301 /blog/wp-content/uploads/(.*) /wp-content/uploads/$1
As far as I know the target domain should be absolute, so the following might work:
//301 Redirect Entire Directory
RedirectMatch 301 /blog/wp-content/uploads/(.*) http://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/$1
Please try this rule in your .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/blog/wp-content/uploads/(.+)\.(png|gif|jpg)$ wp-content/uploads/$1.$2 [QSA,L]
Try this
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www.domain.com/blog/wp-content/uploads [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads [NC,L]
You could try and put this
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/blog/wp-content/(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/wp-content/$1 [R=301,L]
What I have hated about all the re-write rules and redirect options for .htaccess files is they all rely on hardcoding the path (URI) and/or server for the redirect.
The point of the ".htaccess" files it it should be for the current directory! It could be referenced in a number of different ways, installed on different servers in different locations. So trying it down to a specific location for a simple directory rename is illogical.
The solution is to somehow incorporate the current URI (regardless or where the ".htaccess" location) into the result...
This is my current solution for location independent ".htaccess" redirect for a renamed sub-directory, and even I admit it is not perfect... BUT IT WORKS...

RewriteRule ^OLDdir/.*$ %{REQUEST_URI}::: [C]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/OLDdir/(.*)::: $1/NEWdir/$2 [R,L]
I have my main Joomla installation in a subdirectory. I used to redirect users from www.mysite.com to www.mysite.com/subdir with a 301 so that the live site was entirely dislocated over there.
I don't actually like the fact that all the URL are preceded by the subdirectory /subdir/ (and I also think this is not very good for SEO) so I modified my .htaccess file like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Add trailing slash if path does not contain a period or end with a slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.|/$)
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1/ [R=301,L]
#Change http://yoursite.com to http://www.mysite.com (Optional)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com$
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
#Rewrites http://www.mysite.com/subdir to http://www.mysite.com/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subdir/$1 [L]
I also edited the configuration file for Joomla! so that now all the links in the site point (correctly) to www.main.com/theirquery and noto to www.main.com/subdir/theirquery
Now, however, all the old links (that have been posted to other webistes, for example) appears to be broken (404): how can I solve this?
I think I have to redirect (301) them to the new subdirectory-free address, that will be (another time) silently redirected with the htaccess I posted.
But I don't know how to do this!
Thank you in advance!
Can you try setting the $live_site parameter in configuration.php? You need to edit it directly rather than through the backend of Joomla.
You need to add this to your htaccess.
RewriteRule ^subdir/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
This is not possible since the old links where not physical but stored in a database, so redirecting them wouldn't be possible without passing through the database again.
How do I set up an .htaccess file to redirect requests to another folder on another domain? I don't want the links to break, I just want them to go elsewhere. Say mysite.com/image.jpg would redirect to site2.com/images/image.jpg.
In .htaccess (in Apache at least):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^images/(.*)$ http://www.yahoo.com/blah/$1 [R=302,L]
Now, what a big surprise, the official documentation has lots of useful examples, including what you are looking for. Yeah, it really sucks that Google is down so often.
You could use mod_rewrite to redirect the request. If you want to redirect everything:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^ http://other.example.com/images%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
And if you just want to redirect requests with a path that end in .jpg:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule \.jpg$ http://other.example.com/images%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
This should help:
Redirect 301 / http://www.example.com/
