i have a wordpress site that currently shows the posts like
http://mysite.com/index.php?p=1
and now i wanna access the same thing by writing url as
http://mysite.com/1
what can be the rewrite rules to do that.. i saw the .htaccess that hides the index.php from the url and regular expressions but was not being able to properly do what is needed!
In the htaccess file in your document root, preferably before any wordpress related rewrite rules, add these:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?([0-9]+)$ /index.php?p=$1 [L,QSA]

I want to change URLs in one folder (cartoon) in my site to friendly SEO URLs.
This folder (cartoon) includes a PHP script not related to WordPress.
From:
example.com/cartoon/index.php?v=TitleEpisode
To:
example.com/cartoon/TitleEpisode
I read here all related questions but I did not benefit.
I have WordPress on my main domain (example.com).
I found this code in .htaccess file:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.htm parking-page.html
# 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
What do I do?
Ok, based on the edit, it seems like what you want is for WordPress not to rewrite that slug but to ignore it.
You can do this by editing your .htaccess to exclude a folder. Make sure the folder is in the root directory of your site, as in, the same folder as wp-admin, wp-content, and wp-includes.
Then, open your .htaccess and add a rewrite rule to ignore that folder:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.htm parking-page.html
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# Add this condition with the folder you want to ignore (cartoon in your example)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(cartoon|cartoon/.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
OLD ANSWER
Well, this is fairly open-ended. For a better answer, please edit the question to include what you have already tried. Also, what do you mean by "one folder"? Is this a custom post type? Is it a category or custom taxonomy? Are there different permalinks for different types/taxonomies? Please provide more details on what you want to do.
But for the usual case, here is the documentation for pretty permalinks.
First, make sure URL Rewriting is enabled in Apache. Example in Ubuntu/Debian
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart
Now, in wp-admin, go to Settings -> Permalinks. Set the permalink to Post Name.
Then click save changes. It will either save the new .htaccess automatically if your site has the permissions to, or it will give you the new content of .htaccess to copy and paste.
Now you should be able to view a post or page and it should show the SEO-friendly links.
How are you implementing (or intending to implement) the routing of example.com/cartoon/TitleEpisode?
If this is entirely outside of WordPress then I would expect you to have an additional .htaccess file inside the /cartoon subdirectory (since this is presumably a physical subdirectory)? This alone should be sufficient to override the WordPress mod_rewrite directives in the parent .htaccess file, since mod_rewrite directives are not inherited by default.
For instance, simply enabling the RewriteEngine in a subdirectory is sufficient to override the WP directives.
In /cartoon/.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
Then, in order to route a URL of the form /cartoon/TitleEpisode to /cartoon/index.php?v=TitleEpisode, you would need something like:
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ([^/]+) index.php?v=$1 [L]
(A bit similar to the WP directives in the parent .htaccess file.)
I would avoid editing between the # BEGIN and # END WordPress markers in the parent .htaccess file since these could be overridden by future WP updates.
You would instead implement an exception before the WP directives. For example:
RewriteRule ^cartoon - [L]
However, as mentioned above, you are probably better off creating an additional .htaccess file in the subdirectory and avoid touching the WordPress installation at all.
it's done.
i enter this after the first line in .htaccess
# BEGIN for Cartoon Folder
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?cartoon/(.+)$ /cartoon/?v=$1 [L,QSA]
# END for Cartoon Folder
thank u very much
I've recently gained access to a domain which used to have a very large site and product base, however the old host turned it off and all the URLs are lost. I am using WordPress on the domain (previously it used an e-com shop called Kyrptronic) and have set up a simple landing page. So far there are over 20,000 not found URLs and I need them to redirect to the homepage (except for css and jpg files that I am using on the landing page).
I tried to redirect all old links straight to homepage however this means the core wordpress files become inaccessable and when you try and click anything in the backend E.g. Plugins - it redirects to the homepage. Here is the code I used in the htaccess file.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(gif|jpe?g|png|css|js|xml)$
RewriteRule (.*) / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Is there a htaccess code snippet that can redirect all URLs other than jpgs, pngs and NOT the entire wordpress and website directory with .php file extensions?
The site has too many not found URLs to do one by one.
Hope this makes sense, it's my first post on here!!
Thanks
You could try something like this (it must e above the wordpress routing rules):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(gif|jpe?g|png|css|js|xml|php)$
RewriteRule ^ / [R=301,L]
I am in the process of moving my current static site to Wordpress, using the same domain name.
Both old and new sites have their content in the root folder and also have identical file names, but on the new (Wordpress) site, I have removed the .php extension that exists on the current site and added a trailing slash, as per Wordpress permalinks.
So I need to redirect all the old pages (for example):
/contact-us.php -> /contact-us/
I have tried the well-documented options such as (and variations on this):
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]
But this seems to be conflicting with the Wordpress .htaccess rules:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
When I try to access www.site.com/contact-us.php, I am getting either an infinite loop OR a redirect to www.site.com/index (no .php, no trailing slash), which Wordpress displays as a 404 page.
I have tried with and without the first set of Rewrite conditions (as I see they are duplicated in the Wordpress rules), and also placed my rule before and after the Wordpress rules. No joy. I've also been Googling for the last few hours but no one seems to have addressed this specific problem. I do usually find what I am looking for by searching, so it's in desperation that I'm actually posting (and which is why it's my first post!)
If anyone can help out, I would be very grateful.
It appears you will run into loops when trying an .htaccess redirect because of the php suffix. Maybe someone else knows a solution.
But try a plugin called Redirection « WordPress Plugins. Out of curiosity, I tried a redirect from contact-us.php to contact-us/ and it worked fine. The plugin redirects via php rather than writing to .htaccess, and that may be the difference.
I use the plugin all the time to mostly log 404's and do a few redirects. It doesn't take too much site overhead.
Be sure and set Options to not do "URL Monitoring," as that will set up automatic redirects to to posts/pages that have their permalinks manually changed. And set your 404 logging to a day or two, because the logs can quickly get big and result in huge database tables.
Try using this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#Rewrite /something.php to /something/
RewriteRule (.*)/(.*)\.php$ $1/$2/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
This method would rewrite:
/contact-us/test/hello.php -> /contact-us/test/hello/
If you don't want subdirectory rewriting replace line 6 with:
RewriteRule /(.*)\.php$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
Simple thing I'm trying to do - just upgraded a site to use wordpress, there is ONE page in particular i do not want to 301 and want to retain its original url
the original url is
/freerecords.htm
here is what i added to my htaccess
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/freerecords.htm [NC]
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/freerecords.htm$ /index.php\?page_id=793 [L,NC]
problem is the above isn't working -i think i'm pretty close...
i don't want to use wordpress built in php url rewriting functions - i just want to do this in the htaccess
any help is greatly appreciated
instead of directly changing from .htaccess use setting of permalinks in your admin panel to do URL rewriting
And also check the permissions to .htaccess file before doing permalink changes.
Or you can also change wordpress .htaccess file from the theme file editor provided on admin side
http://davidwalsh.name/wordpress-htaccess
If you want a 301 redirect, you need this to happen before the wordpress related rules:
RewriteRule ^freerecords.htm /index.php?page_id=793 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
This redirects the browser using a 301 redirect. Like all redirects, the browser's URL address bar will now say /index.php?page_id=793.
If you didn't want a 301 redirect, your old rules have a leading slash in them that is probably making it not work. Your last line has a leading slash in the regular expression that makes it so it will never match anything:
# was here---v
RewriteRule ^freerecords.htm$ /index.php\?page_id=793 [L,NC]
In my root wordpress site running
I have the usual wp-content, wp-includes, wp-admin folders, but I also have my 'drupal' which is a drupal site
I have .htaccess file in both root and drupal directory
When i try to access any node of drupal website give page not found error of wordpress
Please a help me for that
Add RewriteRule ^drupal - [L] above the WP rules in the .htaccess that is located in the root.
I have seen this a lot with Cpanel and Fantastico.
https://www.drupal.org/forum/support/post-installation/2010-08-09/installing-wordpress-in-a-sub-directory-of-drupal
The topic is old but still relevant. Just wanted to share my solution to this problem.
In WP, go to Admin > Settings > Permalinks;
Scroll down to the
bottom; You should see this:
If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press Ctrl+a to select all.
Add this to WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /YOURSUBDIR/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /YOURSUBDIR/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Open your .htaccess in the Drupal root dir, and find this bit:
# Pass all requests not referring directly to files in the filesystem to
# index.php. Clean URLs are handled in drupal_environment_initialize().
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
Paste the WP Admin code underneath this, from "RewriteBase" to the end;
It should work now!
Make sure your WordPress permalinks are reset by hitting save ( the first URL here walks you through it
- https://www.cloudways.com/blog/fix-404-error-on-wordpress/
If that will not work try this.
See:
https://www.drupal.org/forum/support/installing-drupal/2007-08-02/the-requested-url-not-found-on-this-server
- I hope this is helpful cloudways.com will know the fix too.
Add this to 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
Ignoring Subfolders that exist in the DocumentRoot
With clean URL's enabled, when running other software applications in subfolders (subdirectories) of a Drupal root installation. your .htaccess file may rewrite those URL's to Drupal. This may be a particular problem for those with a Drupal installation in the root of their domain using Cpanel and Fantastico where Fantastico installs other software into subfolders. For example, phpSurveyor's admin interface as installed by Fantastico will not work with Drupal's default .htaccess settings. The URL for the admin interface is inaccessible and will return a "page not found" page in your Drupal site.
The trick is to modify .htaccess to ignore specific files/folders. So for example, if you have two folders, and in the root of your Drupal installation, modify your .htaccess file by inserting the following code directly after the "RewriteEngine on" directive, before the Drupal rewrites:
=========[ start of .htaccess snippet]==========
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
#
# stuff to let through (ignore)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/folder1/" [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/folder2/"
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [L]
#
====================[ end ]=====================
For each folder, you want to bypass, add a RewriteCond line, and end all but the final RewriteCond with [OR]. Note that the [L] in the rewrite rule tells it to stop there and bypass the rest of the rewrite rules.
Ignoring subfolders that are included via Apache Alias directives
As of 4.7, files and directories should be automatically allowed through in drupal's .htaccess setup. Thats what the !-f and !-d lines do.
However if you are working with Apache Alias or similar directives the file doesn't actually exist so drupal will take over like it should. The best way around it is to just add one more conditional that matches your location and make it skip it too. Thats what the ! means. Please see below:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/yourDirectoryName
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
It essentially means Apply this rule if the REQUEST_URI doesn't start with /yourDirectoryName and the REQUEST_FILENAME isn't a real file or a real folder. Which is exactly what you want. There is an implied "AND" between the lines of that rule. The ! says "not like this".
