I’ve been working on this for a couple of days. I’ve been to several sites offering this, but nothing I’ve tried seems to work.
I have a visitor to my site and I know their IP address, (I understand that can change overtime and this is temporary). When they request a certain page on my site I want to redirect them to another page. I’m trying to do this via .htaccess
This is what I’ve done, recommended by a site, but it doesn’t work:
# 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]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^69.82.85.525$
RewriteRule ^page-to-be-redirected-from /page-to-be-redirected-to [R,NC,L]
I don’t know how much the WordPress code is affecting the code I am trying to add. For instance, I know it creates pretty urls and I am assuming that the urls I am adding would be recognized for what they are. I have tried to attach the domain name to the urls, but it hasn’t made any difference. This code is not working.
Here is another effort:
# 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]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} 69.82.85.525
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /requested-page$
RewriteRule .* /redirected-page [R=301,L]
Having spent so much time searching for a solution to this, I know that there are other people puzzled by how to accomplish this. But, even .htaccess redirects that have been discussed here on StackOverflow have not addressed this particular situation.
Thanks.
