My website had been hacked and lots of pages had been added and these have been indexed by Google. This has seriously affected the amount of traffic my site is receiving.
These pages all are all named along the lines of - '?mulberry-948.html' just with a different number for each.
I have deleted all these pages but there are back links to these from lots of websites around the web so Google is still looking for them.
Is it possible to redirect all of these pages use .htacess in a simple way without having to add a redirect for each file.
i.e can i say for anything that begins with '?mulberry' to be redirected to index.html?
Thanks

You can use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^mulberry [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /? [L,R=301]
? in the end will strip off any existing query string.

I have a situation as follows:
I have a website with lots of files in it (Yii Framework). I need to migrate it from http://domain1.com to http://domain2.com/foo/bar/
But previous developer has put the href, src, background-image etc links as follows:
href="/assets/img/img1.jpg"
src="/assets/js/script.js"
When I open the new website in browser, all the resources should be loaded like this http://domain2.com/foo/bar/assets/... to make it work. But, browser is interpreting the resources url as http://domain2.com/assets/...
As the resources doesn't exists here, they aren't loading.
As the urls are scattered everywhere in lots of files, it's not the best idea to change each and every url.
Is there a way to change the base url through htaccess (or some other method) so that server or browser will interpret href="/assets/..." as http://domain2.com/foo/bar/assets/...
You may use this 301 redirect rule at the top of other rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?domain1\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^assets/.+ http://domain2.com/foo/bar%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC,NE,R=301]
This may be a dumb question, but after I load my webpages through GoDaddy's cPanel, every page won't work unless it has a .html at the end of it. Am I doing something wrong when I'm uploading it? It doesn't seem normal to need .html at the end of every page.
The files are probably written in HTML which is the most common. So if you are making new windows you must add .html at the back so the browser knows it needs to read html code and not something else. So if you were to make an "about us" page you need to save it as about-us.html
I might not have asked the question as clearly as I should. I ended up figuring out the answer regarding removing the .html from the webpage url.
Create a file called .htaccess in the root directory and add this code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]
And then all the links on your site should look like this:
<a href="/portfolio">
I have an adobe muse site that office staff update. However I want to add an html file at the top level so that I have example.com/recruitment-advertising.html minding its own business and just working separate from adobe muse.
I have tried to exempt the file from muse in the .htacess file using a condition but the page keeps coming up
Page Not Found
We could not find the Web Page you requested. This is either because:
There's an error in the address or link. Or you have entered the
address or link incorrectly.
It is probably syntax, but I can't seem to get it to work.
My .htaccess file currently looks like
# Begin Muse Generated redirects
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/recruitment-advertising\.html$
RewriteRule ^muse_test_redirect.html$ muse_test_redirect.php [L]
</IfModule>
# End Muse Generated redirects
I don't think relevant but all the resources for that page are in a lower folder at example.com/landing
I want the page at top level, because its a landing page and I don't want it several folders in as google doesn't think things that deep are so important.
I don't care if the solution is something entirely different and not using .htaccess, I just want my html page to run on the domain. Many thanks in advance.
I have a large number of 404's due to a site structure design change that need redirecting.
Can someone tell me how I can do this with a pattern in htaccess
key-creative-wedding-photography/60-the-key-to-creative-wedding-photography-3/contact
key-creative-wedding-photography/090-the-key-to-creative-wedding-photography-3/contact
hayling-island-beach/img_7459-hayling-island-beach/contact
farbridge-wedding-photographers/_0287-farbridge-wedding-photographers-2/contact
Please note there is a page called ./contact
Any ideas?
Thanks!
You can try adding these rules to the htaccess file in your document root (preferably before any other rules that you have in that file):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.+)/contact$ /contact [L,R=301]
That takes anything that ends with /contact, with at least a folder before it, and redirects it to /contact.
I would like to link to pages inside my website, e.g:
Not: mywebsite.com/about.html But: mywebsite.com/about/
I've seen various websites doing this but it looks like they also react differently to things:
Apple.com:
apple.com/iphone/ works, apple.com/iphone/index.html works, apple.com/iphone redirects.
Opera.com:
opera.com/mobile/ redirects, opera.com/mobile works, opera.com/mobile.html does not work.
Mozilla.com:
mozilla.org/en-US/ works, mozilla.org/en-US redirects, mozilla.org/en-US/index.html does not work.
Which leads to another question: Are there different methods for this?
Edit:
It seems that Apple uses a folder for every page, e.g. a folder called 'iphone' with an index.html file inside it?
But Opera and Mozilla use something in the .htaccess file?
Removing Extensions
To remove the .php extension from a PHP file for example yoursite.com/wallpaper.php to yoursite.com/wallpaper you have to add the following code inside the .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
If you want to remove the .html extension from a html file for example yoursite.com/wallpaper.html to yoursite.com/wallpaper you simply have to alter the last line from the code above to match the filename:
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]
That’s it! You can now link pages inside the HTML document without needing to add the extension of the page. For example:
wallpaper
They are using .htaccess and URL rewriting. This is part of server configuration. You can not do it with html only.
This page explains basics of URL rewriting.
You folder then has to contain a file: index.*.
Like: /iphone/index.html, which can be /iphone/ as well
Or work with .htaccess
In the .htaccess file in your sites root folder just add the following line:
# ---- Render pages without urls
Options +MultiViews
The most upvoted answer doesn't check whether the URL points to a directory, so you're going to get some mysterious 'not found' errors when it tries to append '.html' to a directory path. Easily fixed:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html [L]
The first condition will only pass if the path does not point to a valid directory. The second will only pass if the path points to a valid file when the .html extension is added. If both conditions pass, the rewrite rule simply adds ‘.html’ to the filename.
Notice that we can just match the entire path with .*. You can reject paths that contain a period character if you wish, but it's not really necessary since you've already checked that {REQUEST_FILENAME}.html is a valid file. In any case, it is unnecessary to escape a period character when it's inside a character class. I know you see this [^\.] everywhere, but the slash is redundant. [^.] is how to write it and look like a regex pro. 😎
This kind of redirect will be invisible to the user because, by default, mod_rewrite does the substitution internally, without informing the browser. If you wanted to do a permanent redirect, you would add the [R=301] flag at the end.
Alternatively, as Genus Amar said, you can just enable the Multiviews option on a per-directory basis by adding this Options Directive to the .htaccess file:
Options +MultiViews
It's worth adding that this will only work if the server administrator has enabled MultiViews with the AllowOverride Directive, and it won't allow you to perform additional redirects.
Neither of these solutions (on their own) will remove the .html if it’s part of the requested URL. If you want to do that as well, see my answer to this question.
Make your href attribute equal to the page you want to link or .. If you need to
move up a directory.
Ex: href="contact.html"
Ex: href="../links/contact.html"
