How to redirect QueryString URLs (spammy) to 404 error page using .htaccess

  • Hi,

    One of My website hacked and hacked added 1000s of spam pages with URLs like

    https://www.example.com/?viewtopic.php&eqkqw=3&ddsdl=590&qzhto=16

    I want to redirect to those URLs to 404 so that… the response code should be 404 not 200 with redirect to 404.php

    I tried following… code in .htaccess
    ————
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^viewtopic.php(.*)$
    RewriteRule ^/?$ – [L,R=404]
    ————
    It is working well if I remove Wrodpress from Hosting… and put .htaccess at root.

    But NOT working with wordpress .htaccess

    I’ve already tried inside, outside… every possibility

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    …..
    …..
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    Can any body provide proper Code to resolve this issue?
