I'm building a plugin for a WordPress Multisite, and each subsite needs an SEO friendly URL for various tabs that actually appear on the same page.
I have already written the system that detects the correct URL and shows the relevant tab using a query string, but I want to do it without a query string... here's what I mean:
Currently:
http://domain.com/subsite/?tab=contact
Will load the home page of the sub-site, but containing the content of the "Contact" tab. i.e.
if (isset($_REQUEST['tab'])) {
$tab = $_REQUEST['tab'];
// Validate $tab here
get_template_part('tab', $tab);
}
What I Need:
http://domain.com/subsite/contact
To be invisibly rewritten for ALL subsites so that it ends up showing the same content, by rewriting /subsite/whatever to /subsite/?tab=whatever
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not going to judge your methods as others as I know nothing about your project.
To achieve what you need, use mod_rewrite rule like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^subsite/(.+)$ /subsite/?tab=$1

I need to do this using htaccess
When a request is made for http://www.example.com/home, it should (internally)load the page http://www.example.com/home_st.php
Similarly when a request is made to other link called products (http://www.example.com/products), it should (internally)load http://www.example.com/products_st.php
In short what it is doing is appending "_st.php" and loading that URL. But one thing I do not want is if the user directly types http://www.example.com/home_st.php or http://www.example.com/products_st.php in the browser, it should show 404 / Page not found error
I have few other pages in that folder and I want those pages to behave in this manner. I understand the htaccess should have something like this
Turn on the rewrite
Forbid access if the URL is called with page names like home_st.php, products_st.php etc.
If it's "home" or "products", then rewrite(append?) it to home_st.php and products_st.php respectively. I have other files too while need to follow the same
P.N: My URL should not show the actual filename, for example home_st.php, products_st.php etc. It should only show as http://www.example.com/home, http://www.example.com/products etc
htaccess and regex is not something that I am well acquainted with. Any help would be great. Thanks
You want to be able to re-write URL's
This has been written before but i'll say it again.
You want to use the Htaccess file and the re-write rule.
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule ^pet-care/?$ pet_care_info_01_02_2008.php [NC,L] # Handle requests for "pet-care"
This will make this url: http://www.pets.com/pet_care_info_07_07_2008.php
Look like this: http://www.pets.com/pet-care/

and for the webpage I used to reference this information from: https://www.addedbytes.com/articles/for-beginners/url-rewriting-for-beginners/
To get your pages set the way you want them, I would advise that you read the two articals and try get what you are looking for.
If you need some specific help with doing this, ask.
Hope that helps.
I have a Wordpress blog installed in a subfolder and I would like to replace a part of the url of the post.
Right now it is like this: http://domain.com/wordpress/{permalink-structure}
What I would like to achieve (without moving the site) is: http://domain.com/{permalink-structure}
I tried changing the site url (and followed the instructions provided by WP on how to do this), but if I do this, my front-end stops working ( I am not retrieving the posts etc through the WP-API and I work with AngularJS)
Is there an easy way to automatically modify the (by wordpress generated) url of all future posts by using a plugin or modifying the source code? Or via .htaccess?
Redirecting via htaccess is my preferred option but when I tried this, the wp-api plugin (accessible via domain.com/wordpress/wp-json/* stopped working
Just to be clear: I am not accessing the posts by the generated URLS, I retrieve them via the API and the only thing I want is that the link object in the retrieved post has a different URL.
I don't know. Just try to help. This is my solution redirect what need to redirect.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^wordpress/wp-json/(.*)$ http://domain.com/wordpress/wp-json/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^wordpress/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
you want to change wordpress domain or URL. you need to perform following steps.
1 you need to modify all url's stored in database. I prefer to use https://interconnectit.com/ tool. It is pretty good and easy.
2 Once you update all database urls then you need to login in wp-admin and just update permalink settings.
you need to check plugins too. Some plugins may get deactivated you need to activate them again.
Hope this will help.
check word press codex:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
you can display your word press without move your directory from sub folder to root folder and can remove sub-directory from URL.
On this project I am working on, there is a portfolio and a project page.
The project page is dynamically generated using PHP, and I am trying to find a way to create a permalink to these generated pages.
So on the Portfolio page there will be entries that when clicked, it will take you to the generated project page following a template with static links (i.e. menu links, style-sheet links etc...).
So what is the best way to do this / to link to the generated content?
Note: I have tried re-write rules in htaccess but these don't seem to work.
Something like this?
http://www.website.com/index.php?id=abc
Then in PHP do this...
<?php
$id = $_GET['id'];
//do whatever you want with the id
//to add more variables to the URL use &anothervariable=abc
?>
Rewrite rules are to make the URL look more appealing, like...
http://www.website.com/p/abc
EDIT:
Make sure that you have mod_rewrite installed in Apache
Then in .htaccess...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^php/project/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ php/project.php?project=$1
I am building a website and I will need to make it SEO friendly so, as it is now, I am using a dynamic website (PHP) and through .htaccess, I am making it appear as if the site has static pages.
To do this, I am redirecting to a php file which then displays the content.
The url looks like: www.mainpage.dk/phpfile-navigationvalue-value.htm
I am using a navigation value inside the page to render it according to which menu item is clicked.
The guy I am building this for says that a url like www.mainpage/something.html is better for SEO purporses than www.mainpage.dk/phpfile-navigationvalue-value.htm. Can anyone come with some input on this matter?
And if the regular static page is better, is there a way to make a dynamic look just like a regular static page?
PS: The reason why I want a dynamic page is that the page is going to be extended with new pages every now and then as well as updated frequently.
To make it look like a regular page you could add *.html -> alias.php?alias=*
Then check the aliases and display the proper page from PHP.
Also, how about making it :
www.mainpage.dk/phpfile/navvalue/value/ -> index.php?page=phpfile&nav=navvalue&val=value
I would discourage redirecting to a phpfile, but handle it via index.php?page=* (look line above), or something similar.
Edit:
how htaccess should look
RewriteEngine on
# [!]for `*.html` -> `alias.php?alias=*`
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ alias.php?alias=$1 [NC]
# [!]for `/phpfile/navvalue/value/` -> `index.php?page=phpfile&nav=navvalue&val=value`
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)(/)?$ index.php?page=$1&nav=$2&val=$3 [NC]
I have a perfectly good (so far) setup of wordpress of for a new website. The pretty urls are working as expected.
I have 1 dynamic page that loads content depending on the querystring:
/dynamic/?loc=england&code=uk
I wish to make this URL "pretty" as well but every-time I modify the .htaccess no changes are made. Tried everything and googled everything else - last resort. If I could get the following to work then I would be happy.
I need to make the URL look like.
/dynamic/location/england/code/uk/
Adding this to any .htaccess breaks the whole website.
RewriteRule /dynamic/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/$ /dynamic?$1=$2&$3=$4
What am i missing.
Thanks in advance

Don't add the rewrite rule to your .htaccess file. WordPress manages that file for you, so try to use built-in features whenever you can.
WordPress actually has a somewhat advanced rewrite engine that ships standard - and it's pluggable just like the rest of the platform.
The trick, though, is working with it. You'll need to register your RegEx so WordPress knows what kinds of strings to match (i.e dynamic/location/(.*)/code/(.*) => /dynamic?$loc=$1&code=$2). Then you'll need to set up the page and script on the back end to handle the submission.
For a similar example, look at the answer I received to parsing custom URLs with a custom post type over on WordPress Answers. Extending this, you'll need to set up code similar to the following (note: untested!!!):
<?php
add_action('init', 'add_my_rewrite');
function add_my_rewrite() {
global $wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->add_rule('location/([^/]+)/code/([^/]+)','index.php?loc=$matches[1]&code=$matches[2]','top');
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules(false); // This should really be done in a plugin activation
}
This should add the rewrite structure to your .htaccess file automatically.
