I have such a url:
/keyword1/keyword2/slugged-title-8286-1.jpg?wx=292&hx=164
I would like to forward in this case to:
/images/8286-1.jpg?wx=292&hx=164
the listing number (here 8286) can be 4 or 5 digits and could perhaps contain letters. Also the parameters after ? could be different.
Could you please help me to get this solved?
I haven't done a lot with regex and not sure how this can be done.
You can use this rule in your site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule -(\w+(?:-\d+)?\.jpe?g)$ /images/$1 [L,NE,R=302]
If you don't want a full redirect then use:
RewriteRule -(\w+(?:-\d+)?\.jpe?g)$ /images/$1 [L]
QUERY_STRING is automatically carried over to target URL.

I need to convert with HTACCESS method tons of URL's allready produced (and already indexed...) by Wordpress for articles containing folders/subfolders to simples URL's without any folder/subfolder name.
Example:
FROM https://www.website.com/Animals/Cats/mycat.html TO https://www.website.com/mycat.html
FROM https://www.website.com/Animals/Dogs/mydog.html TO https://www.website.com/mydog.html
FROM https://www.website.com/Countries/France/bordeaux.html TO https://www.website.com/bordeaux.html
etc...
I already changed permalinks options in Wordpress config. So, now URL's produced are in the good format (Ex: https://www.website.com/bordeaux.html) without any folder name.
My problem is to redirect all OLD Url's to this new format to prevent 404 and preserve the rank.
If tryed to add in my .htacess this line :
RewriteRule ^/(.*)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L,NC]
I egally tryed RedirectMatch 301 (.*)\.html$ method and it's the same. I'm going crazy with this.
What am i doing wrong and could you help me?
Thanks
RewriteRule ^/(.*)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L,NC]
The URL-path matched by the RewriteRule pattern never starts with a slash. But you can use this to only match the last path-segment when there are more "folders". And the target URL also needs to end in .html (as per your examples).
So, this can be written in a single directive:
RewriteRule /([^/]+\.html)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
This handles any level of nested "folders". But does not match /foo.html (the target URL) in the document root (due to the slash prefix on the regex), so no redirect-loop.
(No need for any preceding conditions.)
Here the $1 backrefence includes the .html suffix.
Just match the last part of the url and pass it to the redirect:
RewriteRule /([^/]+)\.html$ /$1.html [R=301,L,NC]
It will match any number of directories like:
https://www.website.com/dir1/page1.html
https://www.website.com/dir1/dir2/page2.html
https://www.website.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/page3.html
https://www.website.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/dir3/page4.html
I am trying to turn an ugly url with parameters into a nice url. At the moment I have:
http://myasite.com/index.php?reg=uk&area=london&id=16
Which I would like to have like so:
http://myasite.com/uk/london/16
I have tried using this .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?$/?$ index.php?reg=$1&area=london&id=$2 [L,QSA]
Which I got from an online generator however when I run the page with /uk/16 in the url it just crashes.
What am I doing wrong?
In reply to Chris's reply below. All of these are optional.
Structure of url is like so:
myasite.com
myasite.com/uk (if set, This will always be text and always 2 chars long)
myasite.com/uk/london (if set, This will always be text, this will be any char length )
myasite.com/uk/london/16 (if set, This will always be integer and any char length)
Your regex is incorrect. Your ^/?$/?$ says the request can have 2 /s only, each is optional. You also aren't using any capture groups so $1 and $2 have no context. Here's a regex that would work for your provided example:
^/(uk)/(\d+)$
If uk can be any 2 lowercase letters you could use:
^/([a-z]{2})/(\d+)$
You can use regex101 to see how your regexs will function.
https://regex101.com/r/VyJE9d/1 (your rule)
https://regex101.com/r/VyJE9d/2
The right side of the page gives explanations.
As a rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/([a-z]{2})/(\d+)$ index.php?reg=$1&id=$2 [L,QSA]
All you need to use is this in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /index.php?reg=$1&area=$2&id=$3 [L]
This will leave you with your desired URL of: http://myasite.com/uk/london/16. Just make sure you clear your cache before testing this.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?reg=$1&id=$2 [L,QSA]
We are rewriting $1/$2/ and $1/$2 to index.php?reg=$1&id=$2
I'm preparing rewrite rules for my site. And I'm faced problem when target URL contains characters like "%3A".
Apache mod_rewrite just removes "%3" when rewrites url.
For example I need rewrite url
/primed-white-mdf-skirting+architrave/
to
/Products/Decorating+Interiors/Mouldings/Skirting/c/1000589?q=%3AtopSellers%3AColour%3AWhite&text=#
I have generated rule for this. Here it is:
RewriteRule ^primed-white-mdf-skirting\+architrave/ /Products/Decorating+Interiors/Mouldings/Skirting/c/1000589?q=%3AtopSellers%3AColour%3AWhite&text=# [R=301,L,NE]
So rewrite pass to:
/Products/Decorating+Interiors/Mouldings/Skirting/c/1000589?q=AtopSellersAColourAWhite&text=%23
Why this happens? Please help
You need to escape the % otherwise %3 is considered a back-reference of captured group from RewriteCond:
RewriteRule ^primed-white-mdf-skirting\+architrave/ /Products/Decorating+Interiors/Mouldings/Skirting/c/1000589?q=\%3AtopSellers\%3AColour\%3AWhite&text=# [R=301,L,NE,QSA,NC]
we recently moved to an addon domain. I'm having problems with the redirect. I need to redirect for the following situations:
mydomain.com/mysubfolder/ to mysubfolder.com
mydomain.com/mysubfolder/wp-login.php? to mysubfolder.com/wp-login.php?
mydomain.com/mysubfolder/page/ to mysubfolder.com/page/ [there are many pages]
This is my current regex:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-login.php
RewriteRule ^/mysubfolder/(.*)$ http://www.mysubfolder.com/$1 [L,R=301]
It takes care of points 1 and 2. But I can't figure how to take care of point 3.
Thanks in advance.
Your regex redirects all pages except wp-login.php. It also does not account for the URL without the trailing slash. I added the ? to correct this.
RewriteEngine on
RewritRule ^/mysubfolder/?(.*)$ http://www.mysubfolder.com/$1 [L,R=301]
i have a problem with duplicate pages for SEO on a website i'm trying to fix. www.example.com/category/c1234 loads just the same as www.example.com/category/c1234garbage
I've been reading online and testing the code and so far I narrowed it down to a possible regex problem. I have the following lines
# url rewrites
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index\.cfm/.+ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/index.cfm/(([^/]+)/?([^/]+)?)/?(.*)? /index.cfm/$4?$2=$3 [NS,NC,QSA,N,E=SESDONE:true]
I added an R in the rule so I could see if it was passing through there and it is and after it passes that the garbage at the end disappears.
Can someone help me understand this and figure out a way to fix it so when you go to www.example.com/category/c1234garbage it redirects to www.example.com/category/c1234
I've been searching online for quite a while now and thought it might be time to post here since I can't seem to find a solution. I'm reading "Mastering Regular Expressions" but it might take take a while for me to find the answers I'm looking for.
I appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you.
EDIT: This is what i have before that
RewriteEngine On
Rewritebase /
# remove trailing index.cfm
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^index.cfm(\?)?$ / [R=301,L]
# remove trailing slash
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule (.*)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
# Remove trailing ?
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \?\ HTTP [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?(index\.cfm)? /? [R=301,L]
# SEF URLs
SetEnv SEF_REQUEST false
RewriteRule ^[a-z\d\-]+/[a-z]\d+/? /index.cfm/$0 [NC,PT,QSA,E=SEF_REQUEST:true]
RequestHeader add SEF-Request %{SEF_REQUEST}e
RewriteCond %{HTTP:SEF_REQUES} ^true$ [NC]
RewriteRule . - [L]
EDIT: I was reading the htaccess again and found this that I don't understand but it might have some connection. It's located at the bottom of the file.
# lowercase the hostname, and set the TLD name to an enviroment variable
RewriteCond ${lowercase:%{SERVER_NAME}|NONE} ^(.+)$
RewriteCond %1 ^[a-z0-9.-]*?[.]{0,1}([a-z0-9-]*?\.[a-z.]{2,6})$
RewriteRule .? - [E=TLDName:%1]
From your description and your code, it sounds like this is the transformation that's happening here:
www.example.com/category/c1234garbage
↓
www.example.com/index.cfm?category=c1234garbage
So the problem, I think, is not your rewriting rules. The problem is how you're handling querystring parameters on the server side. If you have an actual page called index.cfm that's interpreting those parameters, you should tweak the code behind that page to validate them and redirect to /category/c1234 where appropriate.
I think the code in index.cfm is looking at the parameter, checking to see if it starts with something recognizable, and going from there. You need to make it more strict.
Alternatively, you could add another .htaccess rule to parse the c1234garbage part and decide which part is valid, and which part (if any) is garbage. I can't give you a regex for that, though, since I don't know the rules for a valid input in your application.
Edit:
I think I found the problem. This part here:
RewriteRule ^[a-z\d\-]+/[a-z]\d+/? /index.cfm/$0 [NC,PT,QSA,E=SEF_REQUEST:true]
You specify the beginning of the relative URL with ^, but you don't specify that you want it to match all the way to the end. So I think what's happening is that it's taking the part of the string that matches, throwing out everything else, and appending it to /index.cfm/. So it takes only the /category/c1234 part from /category/c1234garbage, because that's the part that matches ^[a-z\d\-]+/[a-z]\d+/?.
You can probably fix this with just a word break:
RewriteRule ^[a-z\d\-]+/[a-z]\d+\b/? /index.cfm/$0 [NC,PT,QSA,E=SEF_REQUEST:true]
If that doesn't work, I'm afraid we've reached the end of my htaccess knowledge. I'm more of a regex guy.
Just BTW, this still seems a little awkward. If I understand this right, part of the URL will still get thrown out if it doeesn't fit your exact pattern. E.g. /category/c1234?abc=123 will lose its querystring parameters. You might want to redesign how your rules are set up.
I partially solved the problem. I added
# Remove garbage from after category
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} [a-z\d\-]+/[a-z]\d+(.+)
RewriteRule ^([a-z\d\-]+/[a-z]\d+)/? $1 [R=301]
on top of the SEF rules. It's doing what i want which is to remove the garbage from the url but it gives me an infinite loop because its redirecting even when the url is clean. Any hints?
EDIT: So i realized that the .+ at the end is matching the numbers as well... How do i change it to match anything other than numbers after the numbers? basically where I have the .+ i need to have a "match any character except for numbers"
EDIT: I finally got it to work with the following code:
# Remove garbage from after category
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} [a-z\d\-]+/[a-z]\d+[A-Za-z-.]+
RewriteRule ^([a-z\d\-]+/[a-z]\d+)/? $1 [R=301]
The (.+) i was using previously was reading the 2nd number (c1234)as being part of the . so it would always pass the the condition as true unless it was something like c1
