Whenever I add the [NC] flag in .htaccess, it causes an Internal Server Error.
This works:
Redirect 301 /gabf http://www.mydomain.com/category/gabf
but this doesn't:
Redirect 301 /gabf http://www.mydomain.com/category/gabf [NC]
How can I allow things like /gabf, /GABF, /Gabf, etc?
Use this code:
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^gabf/?$ http://www.domain.com/category/gabf [R=301,NC,L]
before:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Wordpress overwrite all RewriteRule to index.php. If you put that first, this "gabf" rule will be executed first and since it's the last rule it will stop.
R=301 = Redirect Permanent and NC = No Case (case insensitive)

I'm having a problem with my URL and my sessions.
I wish to have ALL website pages be forced to use www. As it looks like now, the website looks like this:
www.example.com into www.example.com
example.com into www.example.com
www.example.com/example/ into www.example.com/example/
example.com/example into example.com/example (this is what's wrong)
This is what my .htaccess file looks like:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^wewent\.net
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.wewent.net/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Because the URL does not redirect properly I get double up with sessions one for www and one for the website without. How can I prevent this the best way?
It seems to look ok but one thing you should do is always put your other rules before the wordpress rules as a habit. When using wordpress it should generally be the last set of rules since it does all the routing. Now for the redirect, you should probably use 302temporary which will remove any current cache and verify that your redirects are working properly. Then you can change it to 301 for permanent once it's working correctly.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.wewent\.net [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.wewent.net/$1 [L,R=302,NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I'm setting up a small set of rewrite rules in an htaccess file, where I want every url to go to a index.php file except for /admin which I want to redirect to admin.php. Not very familiar with mod_rewrite or regexp unfortunately.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^admin$ admin.php [L]
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
This gives me an internal server error (not saying 500). Removing or uncommenting the admin rewrite makes it work.
The conditions need to be applied to the index.php rewrite rule, otherwise it causes a redirect loop. A RewriteCond only gets applied to the immediately following RewriteRule so the rule that routes everything to index has no conditions. Try just rearranging the lines:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^admin$ admin.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I'm trying to make it so that anything at /about goes to /our-story.
I think my .htaccess redirect rule is correct for this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
The line is here:
RewriteRule ^about.*$ http://domain.com/our-story/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
However it doesn't seem to work. My suspicion is that this is due to Wordpress being active. I tried to put it inside the Wordpress block though, and still it doesn't work.
What do I have to do to redirect from /about to /our-story?
The rule is correct, but they need to go before the wordpress rules because you are redirecting while the wordpress rules routes everything into /index.php. Any request URI that starts with /about will end up getting routed to wordpress and thus never get redirected. Just switch the order:
RewriteRule ^about.*$ http://domain.com/our-story/ [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Trying to set 301 redirect in .htaccess file and here is what i am trying to do
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http://localhost/wordpress/$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^localhost/wordpress/$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/$1 [R=301,L]
I am testing this on my local machine using WAMPP server.Though when i hit http://localhost/wordpress/ i am getting redirected to http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/ but for other URL i am not getting redirected at all.for e.g
I have this URL in my local machine http://localhost/wordpress/2010/11/shadows/ and this at the server http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/2010/11/shadows/ but when i hit this URL i am not getting redirected to respected URL on the live server ,but i am being showed same page from local machine.
Working:
http://localhost/wordpress/
=> Redirected to:
http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/
Not working
http://localhost/wordpress/2010/11/shadows/
=> Redirected to:
http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/2010/11/shadows/
As clear from URL, I am trying to do this in Wordpress.
Here is complete .htaccess file
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http://localhost/wordpress/$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^localhost/wordpress/$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/$1 [R=301,L]
Can any one tell me whats wrong with the redirection entry? Thanks in advance
Update
I have even tried this option
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/$1 [L,R=301]
Did not worked.
Always you first then the others (talking about RewriteRules only, man! :D ) (and you've forgotten the QSA directive).
So here's the "clean" version of your RewriteRule:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# BEGIN My Own rewrite rules
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http://localhost/wordpress/$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^localhost/wordpress/$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/$1 [QSA,R=301,L]
# END My Own rewrite rules
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
# END WordPress
</IfModule>
If it's in a .htaccess file then try without the / like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# BEGIN My Own rewrite rules
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http://localhost/wordpress/$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^localhost/wordpress/$
# Without the / after wordpress:
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/wordpress$1 [QSA,R=301,L]
# END My Own rewrite rules
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
# END WordPress
</IfModule>
By the way this is the first time in many years that a find an "under construction" page nice!
Please tell me if it works.
%{HTTP_HOST] will contain something like localhost or www.thecolorsofmysoul.com. So your conditions will never match.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http://localhost/wordpress/$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^localhost/wordpress/$
and the redirecting to the external domain will never fire.
Also the first two rule act in consort to map any non-file/directory to index.php. http://localhost/wordpress/ has a regexp match string of "" so will fail the pattern "." and will fail through and will redirect with your "update". Try
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =localhost
RewriteRule ^.* http://www.thecolorsofmysoul.com/wordpress/$0 [L,R=301]
BTW with this base this should be in DOCROOT/.htaccess. The corresponding Wordpress rules (which shouldn't be above this redirect) are
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(?!index\.php$) index.php [L]
You don't need to repeat the base in the target and the negative lookahead assertion removes the need for the first index.php rule.
Hi I am looking to the following in .htaccess:
RewriteRule ^pqr$ /pqr.php
[without 301 redirect, because I want the user to see "pqr" in the broswer and not "pqr.php"]
The problem is that when I try the above .htaccess code, /pqr automatically redirects to the "pqr" subdirectory (/pqr/). I'm looking for a way to stop that automatic redirection.
Do you know how to do that with htaccess?
my current htaccess code
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /Wordpress_Work/placewise/wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /Wordpress_Work/placewise/wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
That should do it:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([^/\.]+)/?$ $1.php [L]
