Redirect everything except one post - apache

I use this htaccess for my Wordpress Site to redirect everything to Homepage. How can i exclude one single post from this? e.g. Mysite.com/thank-you
Thanks you!
# BEGIN redirect to homepage
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(gif|jpe?g|png|css|js|php)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-admin [NC]
RewriteRule .* / [L,R=301]
#END redirect to homepage


Add this to your set of conditions:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/thank-you/?$ [NC]
Much like the other conditions you already have, this one says that the rule can only take effect if the request URI does not start with /thank-you (trailing slash optional).


Add after RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^thank-you$ - [L]
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/flags.html


You just add another condition to your htaccess, so in case its the thank-you page it wont redirect
# BEGIN redirect to homepage
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(gif|jpe?g|png|css|js|php)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/thank-you$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-admin [NC]
RewriteRule .* / [L,R=301]
#END redirect to homepage

Redirect from main page

I have a conditions:
a) Redirect from help.example.com to example.com/support
b) Redirect from other page, like help.example.com/catalog to example.com/catalog
This all I do in .htaccess file.
My code redirect me only on example.com/support
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}${REQUEST_URI} ^help\.example\.com/(.+)
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}${REQUEST_URI} ^help\.example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ example.com/support/ [R=301,L]
How can I resolve this problem?

Please try this rules for yours a - b conditions:
a) Redirect from help.example.com to example.com/support
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^help\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(/?)$ https://example.com/support [R=301,L]
b) Redirect from other page, like help.example.com/catalog to example.com/catalog
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^help\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

With your shown samples/attempts, please try following htacces rules in your htaccess file. Please place these rules at top of your file, also make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
This will catch help.example.com OR www.help.example.com both kind of urls.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?help\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ https://example.com/support [NE,R=301,L]

How can I set the RewriteCond for the exact URL only?

I need to make a hidden redirect from sitename.dom to sitename.dom2 keeping the rest of string untouched.
For now I use:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sitename.dom
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://sitename.dom2/$1 [P]
and it works perfectly. But. Due to multilanguage on my website the frontpage has the following path:
sitename.dom2/lang
thats why when user calls sitename.dom he is being redirected (hidden) to sitename.dom2/ and he's getting 404 page.
So, please advise how do I make a strict redirect for exact request only sitename.dom without any further?
I had tried
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sitename\.dom$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://sitename.dom2\/lang [P]
with no luck.
BTW, inside the website language subpath doesn't affect at all. sitename.dom/lang/page works as good as sitename.dom/page

I had to add the single redirect before all other. And use dom2 instead of dom1 in this rule.
Here is the solution:
RewriteEngine On
#redirect front page only:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sitename\.dom2$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.sitename\.dom2$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/sitename\.dom2/\lang" [L]
#redirect all other pages:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sitename\.dom2
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://sitename\.dom1\/$1 [P]

Simply add /lang in your first RewriteRule directive:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sitename.dom$
RewriteRule ^ http://sitename.dom2/lang%{REQUEST_URI} [P]

.htaccess rewrite rule causes endless loop

I want my .htaccess file to redirect to some page if any wildcard as a subdomain entry hit the browser. i.e. I want
sam.xyz.com
To redirect to
sam.xyz.com/view.php?id=sam
I am using following rewrite rules for redirect.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.xyz.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).xyz.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /view.php?id=%1 [L,R]
Problem i am facing is that it does not shift to new domain keeping query string instead it generates an endless loop
sam.xyz.com
redirects to
http://sam.xyz.com/view.php?id=sam
But doesnt move to url above without endless loop.
Kindly help me out.
Thanks in advance,

you should add a condition for redirect to prevent redirection loop:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/view\.php
the whole code would be:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.xyz.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).xyz.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/view\.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /view.php?id=%1 [L,R]

You are redirecting to: prefix.domain.tld/view.php?id=prefix
Ensure that the url does not contain: id=prefix.
This solution prevents, that someone call's the url: aaa.example.com/view.php?id=bbb
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.xyz.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).xyz.com
RewriteCond %1::%{QUERY_STRING} !^([^:]+)::.*id=\1
RewriteRule ^ /view.php?id=%1 [L,R]
Note: (.*) in the rewrite rule is obsolete.
Leave the R away to do not redirect the visitor to the url (/view.php?id=%1)

Apache redirect subdomain to folder, keep parameters

I have this code in .htaccess :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(css|gif|ico|jpg|js|png|swf|txt)$
# If empty subdomain, replace with "www"
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [QSA,L,R=301]
# If subdomain isn't empty and not "www", redirect to "folder"
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.example\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/%1/$1 [QSA,R=301]
#PAGES REDIRECTION
RewriteRule ^(.*)/register/ /index.php?sub=$1&page=register
RewriteRule ^(.*)/register /index.php?sub=$1&page=register
RewriteRule ^(.*)/lostpass/ /index.php?sub=$1&page=lostpass
RewriteRule ^(.*)/lostpass /index.php?sub=$1&page=lostpass
...
(a rule for wildcard subdmains is already in place and working)
If I browse to http://test.example.com it redirects correctly to http://www.example.com/test but when I try to browse to http://test.example.com/register, it actually redirect to http://www.example.com/test/index.php?sub=http://www.example.com/test&page=register which should redirect to http://www.example.com/test/register
What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance!

Try adding the L flag to your second redirect rule, similar to how have it in the first.
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/%1/$1 [QSA,R=301,L]
It looks like your rewritten URI is passing through to the next rule.
Also, I don't think your first two RewriteCond are in the correct spot.
