Remove ? with htaccess - .htaccess

I have a Wordpress installation that works and a htaccess-file:
# 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>
# END WordPress
Outside Wordpress I have created links like this:
http://www.test.com/butik/?my-url
I think it looks nice except for the "?". Is it simple to add something to my htaccess-file to remove it?
http://www.test.com/butik/my-url/ would be perfect. Does it matter if I run a file at the path http://www.test.com/butik/index.php? Would it collide?

If I'm understanding correctly, you can try the following:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)$
RewriteRule (.*) $1%1? [L]
So, given your example, $1 would be /butik/ and %1 would be my-url (captured from the RewriteCond) Also, the first RewriteCond should prevent any conflicts with index.php requests.
Hope this helps.

Remove Trailing Slash From URLs

I'm trying to remove the trailing slash from our URLs. I adjusted our .htaccess file and added this code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
Unfortunately this didn't work as the pages (except for the homepage) suddenly show too many redirects and I get a message from the system saying "The page isn’t redirecting properly".
I was thinking maybe I made an error in the way I inserted the code. Originally, our .htaccess file has this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
# 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>
# END WordPress
After adjusting it to insert the code, it looked like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
And that resulted in an error. Can anybody point out where I went wrong? Thanks.
Turns out it's a Wordpress issue. It's something you can adjust by going to your Wordpress site's Permalink Settings. From here you can choose your preferred URL format. "With-trailing-slash" is the default format so you definitely need to make an adjustment if you want the typical "without-trailing-slash" format.

Dynamic URL redirect htaccess

First of all, I checked older questions on the topic but I can't get it to work still.
I basically want:
http://example.com/example/?test=3 to redirect to http://www.yahoo.com
I have:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /example/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /example/index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^test=3$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/example/index\.php$ http://www.yahoo.com [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
Ah yeah, I forgot that I already declared rewrite base. So, it should have been:
RewriteRule ^/index\.php$ instead of RewriteRule ^/example/index\.php$
Solved.
Put these lines just below your RewriteBase line:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^test=3$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^example/(index\.php|)$ http://www.yahoo.com? [L,R=301,NC]
And comment out your 2 lines below Wordpress rules.

.htaccess redirect woes — not completing

So, at the moment, my .htaccess looks a little like 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]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^colorspace\.am$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.colorspace\.am$
RewriteRule ^portfolio\/?(.*)$ "http\:\/\/i\.colorspace\.am\/portfolio$1" [R=301,L]
I want to move all the content from my root directory into a subdomain (which I've done) but I don't want the links people have to not work. www.colorspace.am/portfolio needs to redirect to i.colorspace.am/portfolio, and all the sets contained therein (ie /portfolio/YYYYMMDD) also need to be 'adjusted' on the fly (www.colorspace.am/portfolio/YYYYMMDD -> i.colorspace.am/porfolio/YYYYMMDD
NOTE: i.colorspace.am contain's 2011's content; ii.colorspace.am will contain 2012. They're two entirely different WP installs with their own respective databases. Not sure if it's relevant but..
What seems to be happening is that /portfolio is instructed to redirect to i.colorspace.am/portfolio, but for whatever reason it's ending up at i.colorspace.am
IF there's a way I can make any www.colorspace.am/folder/sub-folder redirect to i.colorspace.am/folder/sub-folder (wildcard?) ..that would be amazing. But I'd be just as happy with a single fully working redirect at this point.
NOTE: the redirect code was generated by my administration panel. I tried
Redirect /portfolio http://i.colorspace.am/portfolio
But it resulted in a 'too many redirects' error.
After the redirection from
RewriteRule ^portfolio\/?(.*)$ http//i.colorspace.am/portfolio$1 [R=301,L]
The rules
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
Is accessed again. That is the reason it's ending up at i.colorspace.am.
Add these 2 rules
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?i.colorspace\.am$
RewriteRule protfolio -[L]
in order mentioned below.
also change (just a small optimization)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^colorspace\.am$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.colorspace\.am$
RewriteRule ^portfolio\/?(.*)$ http//i.colorspace.am/portfolio$1 [R=301,L]
to
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?colorspace\.am$
RewriteRule ^portfolio\/?(.*)$ http//i.colorspace.am/portfolio$1 [R=301,L]
and put it inside of IfModule block in the same order mentioned below.
Have just the below in your .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#add these 2 lines:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?i.colorspace\.am$
RewriteRule protfolio -[L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?colorspace\.am$
RewriteRule ^portfolio\/?(.*)$ http//i.colorspace.am/portfolio$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

301 Redirect is not working as expected

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.

Rewrite GET Variable in URL

I am using WordPress's permalink structure %category%/%postname%/ with the following htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
The url's take the form http://www.example.com/category/postname/. I have a plugin where if you append ?m=gallery to the URL it will bring you to the posts' gallery. So http://www.example.com/category/postname/?m=gallery brings you to the gallery. I would like to be able to use http://www.example.com/category/postname/gallery/ instead. What do I need to modify in my htaccss to achieve my desired results? I would imagine it would be something like this RewriteRule ^(.+)/gallery$ $1?m=gallery
Edit - Current htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/gallery/$ $1/?m=gallery [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Considering URL example you have provided (http://www.example.com/category/postname/gallery/ => http://www.example.com/category/postname/?m=gallery) you will need this sort of line:
RewriteRule ^(.+)/gallery/$ $1/?m=gallery [QSA]
Added missing slashes /
Added [QSA] flag (may not be really necessary actually).
You would need to put this rule somewhere on the top: after this line, for example: RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
Obviously, you ensure that WordPress will generate this kind of URLs: http://www.example.com/category/postname/gallery/
