# This file is - if you set up HUGE correctly - not needed.
# But, for fallback reasons (if you don't route your vhost to /public), it will stay here.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*) public/$1 [L]

# Everything from is for browser caching and is totally optional

Seems like you have a folder structure like this:

root directory
    dkeknth
        index.php
    agent-profile
        index.php
    derrjjfv
        index.php
    ....

if this is the case, you can put a .htaccess file in each folder, where you want to prettify the url and put these lines in .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-f0-9]+)$ index.php?u=$1 [QSA]

In index.php file you can get the value like

if(isset($_GET['u'])){
    /*what you want to do*/
}

Where you have url like ...index.php?id=1; just replace the u with id Now you can access the urls like

http://www.psreducators.com/agent-profile/mark-paul

http://www.psreducators.com/dkeknth/1

http://www.psreducators.com/derrjjfv/1

...

you can also place a single .htaccess file in root directory like this

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-f0-9]+)/agent-profile$ agent-profile/index.php?u=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([a-f0-9]+)/dkeknth$ dkeknth/index.php?id=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([a-f0-9]+)/derrjjfv$ derrjjfv/index.php?id=$1 [QSA]
...

Try :

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /agent-profile/\?u=([^\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /agent-profile/%1 [NC,R,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^agent-profile/([^/]+)/?$ /agent-profile/?u=$1 [NC,L]
