How to remove index.php and picture.php from Piwigo? - php

Question

https://example.com/index.php/categories
On url index.php it does not look good. How can I remove index.php from url?
https://example.com/picture.php?/246/category/red-color-women-shoes
"picture.php?" - want to remove for friendly url
/246/ - Not sure what it is.
/category/ - I think it should be category name but shows "category"
Piwigo is open source photo gallery software for the web
https://piwigo.org/
https://example.com/index.php/categories
https://example.com/picture.php?/246/category/red-color-women-shoes
$conf['question_mark_in_urls'] = false;
$conf['php_extension_in_urls'] = false; // this does not work
$conf['category_url_style'] = 'id-name';
$conf['picture_url_style'] = 'file';
Url should be
https://example.com/categories
and
https://example.com/category-name/red-color-women-shoes

#TURN ON REWRITES
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
#THEN OPTIONALLY MAKE IT www if they didnt enter it
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
#Write index.any to /
RewriteRule ^index\.[a-z]{2,3} / [L,R=301]
#THEN REWRITE LOCATIONS
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/category/(.*)$ picture.php?id=$1&page_url=$2 [L]
#IF CATEGORY IS ALSO DYNAMIC THEN TRY THIS FOR REWRITE
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/(.*)/(.*)$ picture.php?id=$1&category=$2&page_url=$3 [L]
