I'm redirecting a website to a subdirectory I created. The subdirectory contains an installation of WordPress and now I want to mask the subdirectory url from the website.
Now it's something like http://mywebsite.com/apt/
I want to remove the /apt/ from the URL.
I tried everything today, searched on Google, tried to write various things on the htaccess I found here but nothing works.
On the htaccess on the main directory of the site, I use this code to redirect
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mywebsite.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mywebsite.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.mywebsite\.com/\apt" [R=301,L]
And on the one in the /apt/ folder I have
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /apt/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /apt/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Could someone suggest me how can I hide the /apt/ extension from the URL? Thanks a lot.
Try with this: remove the redirect part then use this insead:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /apt/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mysite.com$
RewriteRule ^apt/(.*) /$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mysite.com$
RewriteRule !^apt/ apt%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
then use the same code for the main website.
