如何使用 .htaccess 从最后一段中删除 URL 中的“索引”一词

Question

I want to remove word index from my URL as below

from

https://domainname/what-we-do/index

to

 https://domainname/what-we-do/

I want to do this using .htaccess or anyhow.

If it's literally just that one URL then you can do the following using mod_rewrite at the top of your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(what-we-do/)index$ /$1 [R=302,L]

The $1 backreference contains the captured subpattern (ie. what-we-do/ ) from the URL-path matched by the RewriteRule pattern . This simply saves repetition in this instance.

If you needed this to be more generic and redirect /<something>/index to /<something>/ then change the above RewriteRule directive to read:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+/)index$ /$1 [R=302,L]

This is a 302 (temporary) redirect. If this is intended to be permanent then change this to a 301 - but only when you are sure it's working OK.
