I created a website few days back with a url http://abctest.com in wordpress. Now the website has been published to a domain http://www.bcdefg.com.
The server is same, I have not migrated the site, only the domain has been pointed to the same server. I have changed the wphome and wpsite url to respective domain.
What I want to achieve is to redirect all http://abctest.com or http://www.abctest.com requests to http://www.bcdefg.com.
I tried to use .htaccess redirection but that leads to Too many redirection error. Any solution ?
Below is my htaccess code.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !bcdefg.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.bcdefg.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Error is on your rewriteCond : your host is www.bcdef.com and not bcdef.com (www is important)
try replacing this
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !bcdefg.com$ [NC]
by this :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.bcdefg.com$ [NC]

The url gets redirected to https://2day.news/ instead of https://www.2day.news/.
This happens on every browser/mobile, cleared caches. I don't think this has anything to do with a server back-up as it goes blank when I change the redirect to a page that doesn't exist.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^2day.news [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.2day.news/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Add 301, www and https after RewriteBase
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.2day\.news$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.2day.news/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
On some servers, redirecting from non-www to www in the .htaccess will cause Too many redirections error. So I recommend changing the siteurl in the database.
You can change the URL of the site in the wp_options table, in the option_value column of the following options: siteurl, home.
Or alternatively in the WP admin, under Settings > General (Wordpress URL and Site URL).
You need to add the www. prefix for both options.
Please note:
Both records should be the same (or some functions may not work because of cross-domain issues)
You need to login again to WP admin after the changes
I am trying to forward my website to a new domain and want all old pages to be also redirected.
I have done the following.
In my registrar, I have forwarded my old domain to the new domain.
On my old website server, I have added the following:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?old_domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://new_domain.net%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old_domain.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.old_domain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://new_domain.net/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
The main site is being redirected correctly. However, when I click on old_domain.com/old_post, I get a blank page.
How can I fix this?
Thank you
I have a wildcard ssl installed on my account (My host is Bluehost) and I followed the directions here from Bluehost's site to install the wildcard SSL. However, when I try and access the site at all it comes up with a 500 internal server error. I am using laravel framework right now for the subdomain, I don't know if that changes anything, but here is the .htaccess file for the main site (Which is a wordpress site):
# Custom subdomain .htaccess SSL + WordPress
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^admin.mysite.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin/public/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /admin/public/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^admin.mysite.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ admin/public/index.php [L]
# End custom subdomain .htaccess
# BEGIN WordPress
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php70s .php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Custom maindomain .htaccess WordPress
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mysite.com$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mysite.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# End custom maindomain .htaccess
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
And here is the .htaccess file for the subdomain (the one with laravel installed):
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>
Keep in mind too, I know nothing about .htaccess or how it works, I just did what the webpage said to do.
I suggest you to try below code for simple redirection HTTP to HTTPS:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
This should work for your main domain and its sub-domain both. Now if you want to redirect Non-WWW domain to WWW then try below code;
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.domainname.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
I have following code in my .htaccess file of a wp site
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I have done all the thing need for a WordPress site to operate in HTTPS now my site is opening in both the format i.e in HTTP and HTTPS, but if the user type example.com it goes to http not in https so to solve this I add few more code to solve this issue
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
but after adding this my site in not opening it says "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS"
How to solve this issue, I want the user to go directly to https
The problem is that you're not checking if https is being used, so it just constantly tells the browser to go to https://www.yoursite.com/$1.
You can use %{HTTPS} to check whether the request uses https.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
I have a wordpress website somewebsite.com
If I visit it naked like that, it works brilliantly, however if I visit it from www.somewebsite.com I get
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/somewebsite/public_html/index.php:2) in /home/somewebsite/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1121
In the wordpress website general settings it's set to somewebsite.com
and in CPANEL I have the following
an A record with somewebsite.com pointing to the ip address
a CNAME record with www.somewebsite.com pointing to somewebsite.com
Just for kicks I changed the setting in the wordpress general settings to www.somewebsite.com which fixed it for if I was to visit it with the www but broke it for the naked domain, so I switched it back.
my .htaccess looks like
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Simple is best :-) Redirect non-www to www or www to non-www using .htaccess, so user is going to be redirected before loading any script in php.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
In your example:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Remember to change chmod for .htaccess - it can be overwritten by WordPress in some cases.
