Redirect from old to new page based on id htaccess apache rules
First thing lets take this scenario after changing the permalinks inside a certain client website, old links went to 404 not found page, here is the use case:
www.sveriges-verklighet.se/archives/3135
it should be redirected to the following:
www.sveriges-verklighet.se/?p=3135
we should write a Rewrite Rule and Link it with a condition
|
1 2 |
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /archives |
Then we have to activate this condition with a RULE
|
1 |
RewriteRule ^archives/?(.*)$ ?p=$1 [C] |
You can test this use case on https://htaccess.madewithlove.be/
Then navigate to your htaccess file in your cpanel or if you are using greenbackend.com go to the File Manager and edit your wordpress htaccess file to the following
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
#Rewrite everything to https #RewriteEngine On #RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on #RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /archives RewriteRule ^archives/?(.*)$ ?p=$1 [C] RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> |
Boom, You’ve cruch it!
