How to setup .htaccess redirects?

Here’s a tutorial on rewrites: https://www.webforgers.net/mod-rewrite/mod-rewrite-syntax.php

Also, if you give us more info, we might be able to point out a specific rule. For example, telling us you want to point mysite.com to myothersite.org would allow us to give you the specific rule structure needed.

Oh, in my case it’s just a simple Redirect. It would be something like this: Redirect https://ntc-ua.com/directorio https://ntc-ua.com/files/directorio/index.php

And now what? Should I add this line on my main Multisite blog’s .htaccess? You see, https://joaoramos.org is my main blog and https://ntc-ua.com/ is one of the Multisite blogs. How can I do that?

Yes, you can put a blog-specific rewrite in the main htaccess file (there’s only one).

Yes, but I’ve already tried it that way and it doesn’t work. When I hit https://ntc-ua.com/directorio it should send me to https://ntc-ua.com/files/directorio/index.php but instead it gives me a WP 404.

Any suggestions? This is my current .htaccess: https://pastie.org/1966072.

I think this is a job for… Super Ipstenu!

How should I contact Ipstenu? Should I promise him/her pralines as well? ??

Her… and she should see this thread..

Wait till she wakes up ?? (Had a flight from hell on Sunday.)

The trick is to put any non-WordPress htaccess things ABOVE WordPress’s calls ??

Another thing is you probably want https://ntc-ua.com/directorio/ANYTHING to go to the https://ntc-ua.com/files/directorio/index.php page so I made a change to that to allow wildcards.

Last, https://ntc-ua.com/files/directorio/index.php and https://ntc-ua.com/files/directorio/ should be the same (right now, non index.php gives a 404). You should be able to handle that with DirectoryIndex index.php index.html at the top of your .htaccess

# Directory index
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

# Security hacks
Options -Indexes

<files wp-config.php>
	order allow,deny
	deny from all
</files>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
        # BEGIN Anti Script Injection
        Options +FollowSymLinks
        RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\<|%3C).*script.*(\>|%3E) [NC,OR]
        RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} GLOBALS(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) [OR]
        RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [F,L]
        # END Anti Script Injection
</IfModule>

RewriteRule ^directorio/(.*)$ https://ntc-ua.com/files/directorio/ [L,R=301]

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

Thanks, Ipstenu. Unfortunately, it didn’t work ?? I had to roll back to this .htaccess setup:

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

Is it possible to target https://ntc-ua.com only, for the redirect? Thanks for your time ??

Depends what you mean by ‘target’… Are you using domain mapping or something?

Yeah, I’m using MU Domain Mapping. Is it bad news?

(Hey, whomever modded his .htaccess, it wasn’t THAT long! And now I don’t have it anymore…)

No, not at all ?? Just had to know what I was working with ?? Should be something like this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ntc-ua.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.ntc-ua.com
RewriteRule ^/directorio/(.*)$ https://ntc-ua.com/files/directorio/index.php [R=301,L]

Which says ONLY if someone is coming from ntc-ua (or https://www.ntc-ua) should we redirect /directorio to this other place.
