rewrite_mod help

Question

Dear all,

I need some help about rewrite_mode,

this is my wordpress address:

http://localhost/my_v2010/restaurants?m=display_Add

base_url: http://localhost/my_v2010/

post_name:restaurant

query string:?m=display_Add

I would like to use rewrite mode, let user just type

http://localhost/my_v2010/restaurants/display_Add

any clue how to write in .htaccess?

I tried

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /my_v2010/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /my_v2010/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^restaurants/([^/]+)/?$ restaurants?m=$1 [L]

but no luck, it didn't show what http://localhost/my_v2010/restaurants?m=display_Add had shown. So I need your guys help. Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

try reordering you rules. the [L] tag means it is the last rule that gets run.

Answer 2

I change to

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /my_v2010/
RewriteRule ^restaurants/([^/]+)/?$ restaurants?m=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /my_v2010/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

it become 404 not found.

so what I think is http://localhost/my_v2010/restaurants/display_Add didn't end up like http://localhost/my_v2010/restaurants?m=display_Add

I still able to get http://localhost/my_v2010/restaurants?m=display_Add run, but not http://localhost/my_v2010/restaurants/display_Add

Answer 3

Force the custom URL redirection back to the browser so WordPress can understand it:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /my_v2010/
RewriteRule ^restaurants/([^/]+)/?$ restaurants?m=$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /my_v2010/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

That will rewrite the request to the expected format and then come through again, piping it through the index.php page for WordPress.
