301 redirect for subfolder question

by millionairemoney
5 replies
I'm able to redirect for the main page using this code:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

However, the same conditions don't apply for a subfolder as I can't get http://domain.com/blog to redirect to http://www.domain.com/blog.

Anyone know how to redirect for this subfolder?

Thank You.

    Change your code to this:
    Code:
    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    That should do it. This version tells it to make sure it matches all the way to the end of the URL. Your original didn't.

    Thank you very much, Steve. That did work for me.

    Do you know the code for a regular URL redirect on WP?

      I'm not sure what you mean by this. Please explain and give an example.

        Just the same as I mentioned in my first post but for WP

        Example:

        redirecting http:// wordpressblog.com to http:// www.wordpressblog .com.

        Inserting a .htaccess doesn't do the trick in a WP blog for me.

          This should be a complete solution for WordPress. Just make sure that this code comes before the WP-generated code in your .htaccess file.

          Code:
          Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
