I have a problem removing folders from an url. I want that google / old links aren't broken. The old webpage had several sections with a structure like this
example.com/news/items/entry1.html
example.com/news/items/entry2.html
example.com/blog/items/foo.html
The new page has the urls like this:
example.com/news/entry1
example.com/news/entry2
example.com/blog/foo
Removing html was rather straight forward
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Send would-be 404 requests to Craft
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(favicon\.ico|apple-touch-icon.*\.png)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.+) index.php [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /([^.]+)\.html[\s?] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=302,L,NE]
</IfModule>
The part I'm struggling with is removing the 'items' part. The rules I found only worked for request path like 'example.com/items/subfolder1/...'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
To remove /items/ from your URLs you can use the following in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/items /$1 [L,R=301]
So for example, this will take the URL: http://example.com/news/items/entry1 and turn it into http://example.com/news/entry1
Make sure you clear your cache before testing this.

I have no idea why it doesn't work, /spelling/30000 gives the Not Found page. Please help.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+)$ /?mod=spelling&word=$1 [PT]
RewriteRule ^$ /?mod=spelling [PT]
With your shown samples please try following .htaccess rules file. Considering that index.php file is the one which is taking traffic in backend for internal rewrite rules. Please make sure to keep your .htaccess file along side with index.php file.
Also make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/?$ index.php?mod=spelling [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?$ index.php?mod=$1&word=$2 [QSA,L]
I have the file path: example.com/blog/ where blog is a directory. Blog gets a query string from the URL called URL and makes a dynamic page out of that information. So essentially it's something like this: example.com/blog?url=hello-world but i'd like to remove the ?url part and instead add a slash. So it should look something like this: example.com/blog/hello-world I've tried to accomplish this by putting the .htaccess file in the blog directory. This is my current .htaccess file, but it is not working:
.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /stories/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /\?url=([^&\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1? [L,R=302]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?url=$1 [L,QSA]
Inside /blog there is a index.php file and that generates the dynamic page.
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule ^blog/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ blog/index.php?url=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^blog/?$ blog/index.php [NC,L]
Try this one.
EDIT
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^(blog)/(.*)$ blog/index.php?url=$1
I'm in the process of cleaning my page's URLs by removing their file extensions, and the web is quick to offer the following .htaccess code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1.php
It works, but one can still access files by adding .php at the end like before. I don't want this! Idealy I want every visited page ending with .php to be perceived as what's typed just without the .php part. Would this be achieveable?
To sum up:
www.page.com/example.php displays 404
www.page.com/example displays example.php
Thanks in advance.
You're probably not still looking for an answer here, but just in case someone stumbles across this, here's how you do that:
First, do an external redirect:
## hide .php extension
## To externally redirect /dir/foo.php to /dir/foo
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}s([^.]+).php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L,NC]
Then, do a internal redirect:
## To internally forward /dir/foo to /dir/foo.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([0-9]+)$ /new/$1.php?ID=$3 [L]
That'll get you there! If it doesn't work, make sure these are at the top of your htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit
Options +FollowSymlinks
Options -Multiviews
That's it! I explain the coding on my blog: http://kimjoyfox.com/writing-seo-friendly-urls-using-htaccess/
so I am playing with .htaccess to have clean URLs in my codeigniter app.
in short, i am trying to:
1) remove index.php in urls (redirect permanent)
http://localhost/directory/index.php*
to
http://localhost/directory/*
http://my.domain.com/index.php*
to
http://my.domain.com/*
2) rewrite requests for certain controllers to index.php/[controller_name]
http://localhost/directory/controller1*
to
http://localhost/directory/index.php/controller1*
http://my.domain.com/controller2*
to
http://my.domain.com/index.php/controller2*
my htaccess file currently goes like this:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /
# Redirect index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/system/.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php((/)(.*))?$ /$1/$4 [R=301,L]
first issue:
this does not work for http://localhost/dir/index.php/controller1.
instead redirecting to http://localhost/dir/controller1, it redirects to http://localhost//controller1 ($1 return empty string?)
# Rewrite CI certain controllers
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} directory/(home|other_controller) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)(home|other_controller)(.*)$ /$1index.php/$2$3 [NC,L]
second issue:
this does not work for http://localhost/dir/home gives internal server error (too many redirects).
but if I test added R=301 code, it successfully redirect to http://localhost/dir/index.php/home. but this is not my intention to redirect, I only need to rewrite it.
please advise.. :)
Try with this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
You can place this in the directory the bootstrap file (index.php) is in.
If you have FastCGI implementation, you need to add a question mark in the rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
My URL structure is currently as follows:
http://domain.com/folder/filename (CURRENT)
I want to change this so that I can use the following URL instead:
http://sub.domain.com/filename (NEW)
So accessing the CURRENT or the NEW url, should load the file located at the CURRENT url, but show the NEW url in the address bar. It should only apply to the "/folder/" path.
sub.domain.com is a mirror of domain.com, ie. they share the same file system and root directory.
This is what I have so far:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/folder/?(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://sub.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This is working, but is missing the rule to remove the "/folder/" from the path. I've tried combining multiple RewriteRule's with no luck. Any ideas? Thanks.
UPDATE: Thanks again #Gerben - I understand what your rules are doing now, but the second one isn't working for me. I suspect because it's conflicting with some other rewrite rules, in particular those of WordPress, which are lower down in my .htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Because of this the page ends up in a redirect loop, ie (from Chrome):
"The webpage at http://sub.domain.com/folder/index.php has resulted in too many redirects." - while the url I was originally trying to access was, for example, http://sub.domain.com/page
Any ideas?
Try:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(folder/)?(.*)$ http://sub.domain.com/$2 [R=301,L]
This will redirect everything to sub.domain.com, and remove the /folder part of the URI if it is there. If not, it redirects and leaves the URI untouched.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /folder/
RewriteRule ^folder/(.*)$ http://sub.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/folder/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ folder/$1 [L]
# WordPress rules here
edit the second R=301 should not have been there
But this won't work, as wordpress has no way of knowing you want folder. You could add the Proxy flag to the rewrite, but then you need to change the rule above to not redirect on this internal proxy request.
