.htaccess help

[The Dawg]

Situation: Moved wordpress from /blog to root.

New setup has a new front end, but the old blog posts are now being directed to /blog/ (works fine).

Problem:

The indexed search engine pages for "search" (http://www.domain.com/blog/?s=widget) are now 404.


How can I use .htaccess to redirect /blog/?s=widget to domain.com/?s=widget


Thanks

Not tested, but try something like:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1

What about a plugin like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/404-redirected/

RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1

I tried this one, but it was redirecting all /blog/ to root which conflicted with the blog portion of the site.

What about a plugin like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/404-redirected/

I am using another redirection plugin that does this also. I am using it to find all of the 404's. I think I'd rather do it through .htaccess (server side) vs. plugin as a long term solution.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^fris\.net [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301]

http://fris.net/blog/test.html redirects now to http://fris.net/test.html

This one is specifically for the search pages, rather than all things

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^\?s\=([^/]*)$ /blog/?s=$1 [L]

hope it helps

Simply append [QSA] to your existing rule.

When all else fails, consult the source: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current...d_rewrite.html

Not much help, but when all else fails... Weird Al for GOD! He's got my vote...

You're a moron and obviously didn't take anything into account. Typical CA.
