The line of code: 

RewriteRule ^/test/(.*)/?$ http://test.com/test/index.php?route=$1 [L,QSA]

has no effect in the htaccess file that I am using:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/test/(.*)/?$ http://test.com/test/index.php?route=$1 [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

When I visit my domain.com/test/123, WordPress redirects be to a 404 page not the new link.
I have tried moving the items in the htaccess file around in case they are being overwritten, but not luck. any ideas?

    • Problem 1: RewriteRule doesn’t match leading slash.

    • Problem 2: Wrong order of Rewrite Rules.

    Here is the fixed version:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^test/(.*)/?$ http://test.com/test/index.php?route=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
