I have wordpress site with qtranslate plugin.
Russian language is default (ru).
I have pages:
http://example.com/en/xxx
http://example.com/ru/xxx (302 redirect to http://example.com/xxx)
http://example.com/xxx

I need to create 301 redirect from http://example.com/ru/xxx to http://example.com/xxx

I tried to write rule in htacess for redirection, but I got redirect loop: 

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9} /index.html HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index.html$ http://example.com.ua/ [R=301,L]
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9} /index.php HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://example.com.ua/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com.ua$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com.ua/$1 [R=301,L]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/ru(/|$)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1 [R=301]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

  1. Try below rule:-

        RewriteEngine on    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /ru/$1 [NC,L,QSA]

    OR

        RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^ru/(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301,QSA]

    Hope it will work for you 🙂
