I want to change the URL from:
http://example.com/Portfolios/iPhone/app
To:
http://example.com/iPhone/app
And same for all URLs like:
example.com/Portfolios/iPad/app
To:
example.com/iPad/app
And from:
example.com/Portfolios/xyz/app
To:
example.com/xyz/app
I have tried a lot but nothing is working for me.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^Portfolios(/.*|)$ $1 [L,NC]
</IfModule>
Enable mod_rewrite
and .htaccess
through Apache config and then put this code in your .htaccess
under DOCUMENT_ROOT
directory:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^Portfolios/(.*)$ /$1 [L,NC,R=302]
Explanation: Above rule is matching URL pattern that starts with Portfolios
and have somthing like /Portfolios/xyz/app
and puts xyz/app
in $1
. It makes an external redirection to /$1
i.e. /xyz/app
.
These are the flags used:
L - Last Rule
NC - Ignore (No) Case comparison
R - External redirection (with 302)
Once you verify it is working fine, replace R=302
to R=301
. Avoid using R=301
(Permanent Redirect) while testing your mod_rewrite
rules.
