Sending custom GET requests in Wordpress as clean url's - wordpress

I have a page called "user" and on that page I show stats about specyfic user,but the url is like http://somepage.com/user/?u=ID , I want to make http://somepage.com/user/ID , tried htaccess, but no result

I would've said htaccess but you say no result?
Are you sure you did it right?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^user/([.]+)$ user/?u=$1
or something like that.
Sorry if I'm teaching to suck eggs, but at least you can tick it off with someone else giving you the same thing you've tried :)
edit:
OK you've tried that. Now I'm guessing we're looking at this the wrong way?
RewriteRule ^user/?u=([.]+)$ User/$1
I'm not sure if wordpress will understand this though.

Or just use google and the first result is...

How can I redirect one missing image to the correct path, but only that specific image?

I have a wordpress + woocommerce site with one particular issue. We have an icon image (png) that appears in the product and from time to time it removes the absolute URL of the image to a relative one using ../ and it creates an invalid URL. I need to catch all calls to that specific image, no matter what URL it is, of course, only the 404 ones, and redirect it to the right path.
For example, the right image is:
https://colmena.co.il/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/event-icon-xxs.png
And this is one of the wrong calls:
https://colmena.co.il/shop/eventos/wellness/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/event-icon-xxs.png
I need the second one to redirect to the first one, but I cannot use the full wrong URL because it changes based on the categories and subcategories (the /shop/eventos/wellness part).
I tried a couple of catch all examples found here and elsewhere trying to adapt them, but I just made it worse so I removed them all.
Any help is appreciated!
It is questionable if what you attempt really is a good idea. I personally would always prefer to fix the actual cause of the issue instead of trying to handle the symptom, as you suggest...
That said I assume the following is what you are actually looking for:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?shop/(?:[^/]+)/(?:[^/]+)/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/event-icon-xxs\.png$ /wp-content/uploads/2021/01/event-icon-xxs.png [L]
I think however that you can simplify that, since you most likely do not use a similar path for other locations:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /?event-icon-xxs\.png$ /wp-content/uploads/2021/01/event-icon-xxs.png [L]

Wordpress, HTACCESS - redirect single page if iPhone or Safari

I know almost nothing so there may be the problem! But I've tried snippets fro 20 different answers to try and get this and no joy. I have a form on one page which will not work on iPhone or Safari. So I have a second form which will. I need to redirect a single page (https://website.co.uk/normal-page/) to another page (/mobilepage/) only if the browser is Safari, or the device an iPhone.
Here's one effort:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "iphone|safari" [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/normal-page/$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) %{HTTP_HOST}/mobilepage/ [NC,R=301]
Which stops any access to the page at all - which was a great improvement on no effect. I'm sure it's simple but I can't get it to work.
Thanks in advance.
I hope this is the right place to post this. Eventually I found the HTACCESS route didn't work. Different OS/Browser combos seemed to arbitrarily ignore or apply the rules when they shouldn't. So I went for Javascript. Less robust, as a user may have it disabled, but I'm not clever enough to find anything better.
Since I found this whole process hard to find answers for I thought I'd post my solution up here - but with the caveat that I'm very much an amateur poking about - there my be better ways and better code.
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
var FormSafe = 1;
if (window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows")!== -1) FormSafe=2;
if (window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Chrome")!== -1) FormSafe=3;
if (window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("OPR")!== -1) FormSafe=4;
if (window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Android")!== -1) FormSafe=5;
if (window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("BlackBerry")!== -1) FormSafe=6;
if (window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox")!== -1) FormSafe=7;
if (window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("iPhone")!== -1) FormSafe=1;
if (window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("iPad")!== -1) FormSafe=1;
if ( FormSafe === 1 ) {
jQuery("#iphoneform").show(); } else
{ jQuery("#normalform").show(); }
});
</script>
I used 1-7 just to bug test by seeing the results. It could just be ==1 for good, 0 for bad for all others. But 1-7 means you could show different div for each browser.
Then it simply shows or hides the element with a form which works for whichever browser/OS combo.
Hope it helps someone.
This doesn't work for three reasons. First of all, your 2nd RewriteCond will only work with /normal-page/. So if the trailing slash isn't there, it will not pick up the URL. Using /normal-page fixes this and works with and without the trailing slash.
The biggest issue was with your rewriterule. Your were basically trying to rewrite the URL to: http://example.com/example.com/mobilepage/ which is obviously breaking your page.
You also shouldn't need the "" around your first Condition.
Use these rules instead:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} iphone|safari [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/normal-page [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /mobilepage/ [L,R=301]
Make sure you clear your cache before testing this. Also, keep in mind that R=301 is a permanent redirect, I advise you change this to R=302 while testing, this is a temporary redirect.

.htaccess change directory image

I have this blog and I've looking around the way to change my image path but nothing really works for me.
This is the URL where my image will display:
http://localhost/blog/article1/
inside is located <img src="images/logo.jpg" />
but with this URL the server searches for:
localhost/blog/article1/images/logo.jpg
And the real URL for my image is: localhost/blog/images/logo.jpg
I've tried with a lot of options but so far none have worked for me.
Note: the blog is made in WordPress, but some articles come with code from another migration, so I probably cannot change the whole articles.
What I need is to elevate subdirectory to localhost/blog/images
Well, you might get away with redirecting all calls that end with /back/back1.gif to that directory, so it wouldn't matter where the call came from. That does mean you should not wish to call this to some other subedirectory, but I imagine you don't.
something like this (guessing here, cann't test, so read up on the rwriting there :)
RewriteRule ^(.*)/images/$(.*) http://test.example.com/back/$2 [L,R=301]
basically you are rewriting everything that has '/images/' in it to that static adress, pasting whatever was after images after the new asdress (the $2 thingy) and then indicating that this is the last command to parse (to stop strange things in the htaccess) and that you want a 301 (permanently moved) code to be sent.

Wordpress htaccess rewriterule without changing URL

In WordPress I'm using the Events Manager plugin, which uses the /events/subpage path in the URL.
I need to tweak things slightly so that /courses/subpage rewrites to /events/subpage i.e. the content of /events/subpage is shown when going to /courses/subpage. The URL should stay as /courses.
I thought this rule would do it:
RewriteRule ^courses/?(.*)$ /events/$1 [L]
But the URL changes from /courses to /events so it looks like my rule isn't quite right.
EDIT
Strangely I can put anything in place of /courses and it resolves to /events anyway. Confused!
Think I’ve cracked it.
I uninstalled the rewrite plugin and replaced it with Rewrite Rules Inspector. Then I added the following to functions.php
add_rewrite_rule(‘^course/([^/]*)/?’, ‘index.php?event=$matches[1]‘, ‘top’); // single event
In Rewrite Rules Inspector is said the rule was missing. I flushed the rules using the plugin and everything appears to be working now. It looks like the original rewrite plugin wasn’t flushing the rules properly.

How to re-write timthumb.php image url?

Hi, I want to "compress" timthumb.php urls like:

Is it possible?, so please help me here is my thumb.php file.
This is kind of long, but maybe you're looking for something like this?
RewriteRule ^wp/media/([^\-/]+)-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)\.(jpe?g|png|gif|bmp)$ /wp/themes/mymagazinetheme/timthumb.php?src=http://%{HTTP_HOST}/wp/media/$1.$5&h=$2&w=$3&zc=$4 [L,R=301]
