I have a site made with CodeIgniter with a WordPress site at /blog.
Say I create a page in WordPress that can be viewed at /blog/my-page.
Is it possible to rewrite the URL with .htaccess to remove the blog part of the URL? So I could enter my site url /my-page to view the page?
from the top of my head..
#start the engine
RewriteEngine on
#requests to www.yourpage.com/anything/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([^/]+)/?$ [NC]
#are sent to www.yourpage.com/blog/anything/
RewriteRule .* /blog/%1 [L]
The rule below will rewrite (internal redirect) /my-page to /blog/my-page:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^my-page$ /blog/my-page [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^another-page$ /blog/another-page [NC,L]
This needs to be placed in .htaccess in website root folder.
If you already have some rewrite rules there then this one need to be placed in appropriate place as order of rules matters.
You still may need configure WordPress a bit so it understands that this URL is for him to process (WordPress may still see the original URL). I have not worked with WordPress that much to tell if this will be required (and how to do it if it is) -- but look at Permalinks settings.

I have installed wordpress at the root (httpdocs).
When I enter domain url wordpress theme loads.
All ok, except that for now I would like that my old static index.html page is loaded instead, and that I can access wordpress with direct URI ...like /index.php
I think I need to modify .htaccess somehow for this to work? somehow I am not successfull at this. Maybe something needs to be reconfigured in wordpress as well?
I would appreciate some experts help.
Thanks!
Put something like
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /index.html [L]
before the Rules added by WordPress (before # BEGIN WordPress). This will match the request for / (and only that) and rewrite it to /index.html. The L flag indicates that no other rules shall be executed.
To give logged in WP users the WP site instead of your static page, use
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !wordpress_logged_in
RewriteRule ^$ /index.html [L]
But why don't you just convert your static home page into the front-page for WordPress? See the documentation for more info and examples.
I am trying to create a permanent htaccess redirect (301) from all my domain extensions into the appropriate subdirectories. The "rules" are as follow:
Redirect belgian website to its subdirectory on the main website:
from: www.example.be
to: www.example.com/befr/
Of course I would like to preserve the url parameters (if any) of the "from". Globaly, if someone entered the first url it should redirect to the second url (langage subdirectory in the main website).
I'm using wordpress and I'm hosting on a plesk I've read many things here but I'm stuck, thank you very much in advance for your help
PS: I've tried that but it doesn't work
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example.be$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.example.com/befr/$1 [L,R]
After reading your question, your code should be working (with informations you gave).
If it's not, here are some points to check:
1. Make sure mod_rewrite is enabled and htaccess can be executed (Apache config).
2. Your htaccess has to be in root folder (where example.be is forwarded).
3. About your htaccess' code:
since you're using Wordpress, make sure your rule is on top of other rules
don't forget to escape . (second one) in RewriteCond (otherwise it doesn't mean the same) even if it works that way
replace R flag (302 by default) by R=301 if you want a 301 redirect
Your code now looks like this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.be$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/befr/$1 [R=301,L]
# your other rules (and Wordpress' default rule) here
I'm in a siutation where I need static pages to take over for much of a wordpress site I'm working with. I have created a /static directory in order to hold the static pages, but I also need to keep the exiting blog visible. I have the following code in my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^blog index\.php [L]
RewriteRule ^20* index\.php [L]
RewriteRule ^$ static [L]
Going to mydomain.com/blog or mydomain.com/2014/01/blog-post both work, but if I try to go to mydomain.com the URL is being redirected to mydomain.com/static which is not what I am trying to accomplish.
Additionally, trying to visit any other page such as mydomain.com/about.php throws a 404 error which makes me think my rewrite is entirely wrong. Essentially I want all requests except for the blog page and blog posts to be rewritten to the files in /static
You need a trailing at the end of the directory or else mod_dir and DirectorySlash will redirect the browser to the URL with the trailing slash. So you're 3rd rule needs to be:
RewriteRule ^$ static/ [L]
I have a working Fishpig Wordpress Magento instance on a production server.
All the green ticks show it has succesfully configured and when visiting
http://www.example.com/blog
it works. However when I try and and visit
http://example.com/blog
it sends me back to the magento home page at www.example.com .
I have tried setting the url in wordpress to both http://example.com/blog and http://www.example.com/blog but in both situations it always sends me to the home page at site.com.
This is a concern because most experienced web users will not type www when trying to access a location.
My htaccess is as generated by Wordpress and looks like
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#wp generated
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
Please not the wordpress site files are located at site.com/wp and it is the fishpig extension which arranges the direct from the non existent /blog path.
First of all, to start of, one way to resolve the issue is to simply make your Magento website DEFAULT to not have the www. in the url.
In Magento, go to System > Configuration > Web.
In the "Secure" and "Unsecure" tabs, find "Base URL."
The value should look something like this:
http://www.site.com/
Replace ALL references to the domain so it shows:
http://site.com/
Unfortunately, there may be a lot of appearances of it throughout the site. You'll need to do the same thing elsewhere on the server.
If you really want your site/blog to say www., though, you'll have to properly forward the .htaccess file in Magento. I'm not too keen on how Magento's .htaccess file works, but I do know how to forward a url and keep all of its additional pages as well (however, Magento's setup may interfere).
The code should look something like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.site.com$1 [R=301,L]
Again, I don't know how well this will work with Magento's set up, but I've successfully used the above code to redirect url's to the correct url I want. That code above was actually used on a wordpress site, though.
Check for Rewrite rules in Magento's .htaccess file and try putting this above it. Be careful, though; it is VERY easy to cause 500 internal server errors if you mess up the .htaccess file, so always keep a backup.
Try this out and I hope it helps.
I have a site running wordpress, it's the full site. One of the pages is like a contact-us form located at www.ourdomain.com/contact-us/
I also have a URL like contactourdomain.com and I want it to redirect to www.ourdomain.com/contact-us/
We used to do this with a redirect on network solutions, but I prefer to have it all done right on the server if possible. I've got it sort of working but when you visit the link is still says contactourdomain.com/contact-us/ as the URL, and that breaks all the other ones.
Any suggestions?
.htaccess
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# Rewrite
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.ourdomain.com/contact-us//$1 [L]
if you add this in .htaccess is it working?:
RewriteRule ^$ contact-us/ [R=301,L]
keep me posted..
