Question

I have a dictionary website that uses WordPress. Now the url for any term like "myterm" is in the form : http://domain.com/myterm . I want it to redirect to http://domain.com/definition/myterm . I don't know how to use regex for this kind of redirection. Also some urls such as domain.com/contact-Us and domain.com/FAQ exist that i don't want to redirect to /definition/Contact-us and /definition/FAQ. Any help?

Answer 1

Try the following in htaccess

RedirectMatch ^/myterm$ /definition/myterm

if myterm is a dynmic path, then you can use Regex capture group to capture the path value ,it will be saved as $1 for reuse in target path

 RedirectMatch ^/(.*)$ /definition/$1

To exclude specific paths from redirection, you can use

 RedirectMatch ^/((?!contect-us|FAQ).*)$ /definition/$1

and to negate more paths, just add them inside the capture group seperated by a pipe foo|bar|foobar.

Edit :

You also need to exclude the directory from redirect, so that it can not redirect to itself.

Try this

 RedirectMatch ^/((?!contect-us|FAQ|defination).*)$ /definition/$1

replace "defination" with name of your folder in pattern and target.

My problem is resolved. I used the redirect proposed by Starkeen. However, not in the .htaccess file. I used Simple 301 Redirects. It works properly without conflicting with WordPress rules.
