I have a Magento site installed at the root of my domain and a Wordpress installed in a subdirectory. Currently I access my sites like this:
Magento: "domain.com"
Wordpress: "domain.com/blog"
I would like to be able to use Wordpress Pages seamlessly, without the "/blog" subdirectory showing in the url, such as:
Wordpress Page-X: "domain.com/page-x"
Note that I do want to keep the "/blog" subdirectory showing normally for blog posts etc... I just don't want it for Wordpress Pages.
Could anybody help on how to set that up? I was think tweaking the .htaccess would've work, but I can't find out how. Other solutions are welcome too. Thank you.
Magento provides you with an option to create custom URL rewrites in the backend (admin) you can find it here. This way you should be able to create rewrites. Also if you want to automate the creation of rewrites you can refer to the core_rewrites table in magento's database. Also this is a good read if you want to do logic based rewrites on the fly.

Beginner question:
I need to perform a 301 redirect from one Wordpress site (domain), to another Wordpress domain, like this:
From:
http://mycompany.com
To:
http://mycompany.se
A problem is that I have no FTP credentials for my From-site. I can't reach the .htaccess file.
Is there a plugin to use? I have studied the Redirection plugin, but this one seems working on pages within the same domain only(?)
I guess I need to be careful, because if some plugin edits the .htaccess file and something breaks, I can't reach the file...
Thankful for any help!
Whit Redirection Plugin you can redirect a url from old to new website.
You can create and manage redirects quickly and easily without needing Apache or Nginx knowledge. If your WordPress supports permalinks then you can use Redirection to redirect any URL.
There is full support for regular expressions so you can create redirect patterns to match any number of URLs.
The plugin can also be configured to monitor when post or page permalinks are changed and automatically create a redirect to the new URL.
You can easily find multiple plugins to perform 301 redirection in wordpress,but if you want to edit .htaccess you can install the plugin called "WP htaccess control" https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-htaccess-control/ .
Through this plugin you can edit the .hraccess file from admin side.
Thanks.
i have a wordpress site let just call it testing.com
with a page url called blog/ which can access via testing.com/blog
i am using NGINX as the web server.
How do i rewrite the testing.com/blog to blog.testing.com with all its content still intact?
//edit
in this case, /blog is a page in the wordpress and not the wordpress itself, only that page and all the link inside the page would be rewrite to the subdomain and nothing else
example:
inside of the blog.testing.com there was 2 more link such as:
1. older post
(original link will be testing.com/blog/page/2 and change it to blog.testing.com/page/2)
1. read more on each post
(original link will be testing.com/2017/05/testpost1 and change it to blog.testing.com/2017/05/testpost1)
//end of edit
so as to say as if i am opening testing.com/blog in blog.testing.com
i have tried rewrite and proxy pass
location ^~ /blog/ {
rewrite ^/admin(.*) http://blog.testing.com$uri permanent;
}
with the above block
the result is same as return the url only and not with the supposed content.
or is it not possible to do so?
Hi assuming that you don't want to keep the URL testing.com/blog at all and instead want to use the subdomain blog.testing.com then effectively what you want to achieve is a WordPress migration. There are a number of ways you can achieve a migration, depending on how technically able you are. The easiest way is probably to install and use a WordPress migration plug in such as WordPress Duplicator or WordPress Move. Please take a backup of your files AND database before you start.
The official WordPress guide to migration can be found at https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
In short you would create the subdomain, then move (migrate) the site that's currently at testing.com/blog to the subdomain blog.testing.com
If the subdomain directory is to be left at /blog and you are just pointing the subdomain to that directory, then you might be able to do what you need to do just by updating the database to reset all the internal URLs in the WordPress database. In this case you could consider using https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
This is what I tend to use when migrating sites from test to live. Hope this helps.
I have a szenario I don't know how to solve.
I have installed a MU Wordpress site.
First problem - site path
I have two sites "www.powerdoo.com" (site1) and "www.powerdoo.com/de-de" (site2).
But I want that my main site also has default path, so the result should be "www.powerdoo.com/en-us" (site1).
Inside the network "sites" settings it is not possible to change the path for the main site.
How can i solve this?
Second problem - web.config redirect
It my first problem is solved I now want the URLs Redirect like this:
www.powerdoo.com -> www.powerdoo.com/en-us
www.powerdoo.de -> www.powerdoo.com/de-de
Can anybody help me how I have to write a rule for this?
Thanks Steffen
In that case you need to map the domains to the respective wp sites and have rewritten the base url.
This plugin will help you out to achieve those redirects, is extremely easy to set up and also it will take care of the base url rewrites.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/
This way your sites will work fine with both URLs (www.powerdoo.com -> www.powerdoo.com/en-us) and most probably you won't need to mess up the theme's code.
The only thing you need to be aware of is that "if it gets to happen"
that on some places of your theme the base url rewrite doesn't work it
will be most probably due to the way the original url is generated by
WP engine inside of the theme. But if you are php handy you will be
able to fix it on the theme or the child-theme with a
str_replace();.
There is a problem on my client site.Due to some of the redirections set up for magento.. I am not able to access the wordpress pages.. Whenever I try to access a wordpress page, I am redirected to a magento 404 not found page.... so please let me know how to remove redirection on my magento site??
Your question is ambiguous. Is it the rewriting in .htaccess (or somewhere else) doing the redirect, or do they have redirects in the core_url_rewrite table that conflicts?
I would guess the former. You need to create an alias or location for your Wordpress area that are distinctly different from your Magento area. Often this is accomplished through a separate subdomain, like http://blog.example.com/ or through a suffix like http://www.example.com/blog/.
I am trying to merge my custom made directory site together with my wordpress site in one domain.
There seems to be issues with the url being redirected to my wordpress categories. How can i rewrite url in wordpress to compliment my directory site.
I don't think it's possible. Category, tag, page, post etc. slugs could collide with your directory names. You would have to either create a filter for WP to redirect specific URLs to your old content or modify your .htaccess file. Both methods are extremely complicated if you have a lot of pages, and overkill if you have only a few.
Why not migrate your old content to WP? Or if you don't want to do that, install WP into a subdirectory of your site, like /blog.
