RewriteRule apply on particular directory

This is the code used in .htaccess,

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ /blog/index.php?a=$1 [NC,L]

I want to apply it on a particular directory, I can't apply this rule, but currently it redirect not found urls of whole website to domain/blog/index.php

Solution

  • Use RewriteCond. When ever you want to apply a Rule to a specific condition.

    For example,

    # Include in the next line all folders to include
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  (folder1|folder2|folder3) [NC]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ /blog/index.php?a=$1 [NC,L]

    or the other way around by adding a !

    # Include in the next line all folders to exclude
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  !(folder1|folder2|folder3) [NC]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ /blog/index.php?a=$1 [NC,L]

    Also, keep in mind that in some cases Wordpress overights the htaccess file

    In some cases adding the custom stuff to a block prevents that but not always. It depends on what plugins are in use.
