URL rewrite not working for one URL

1 Views
# 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 ^foo$ /bar [L,R=301]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Those lines are working for wordpress but RewriteRule ^foo$ /bar [L,R=301] is not redirecting when I open www.example.com/foo

  1. Order of RewriteRule matters in .htaccess. Change your .htaccess code to this:

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

RewriteRule ^foo/?$ /bar [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>
# END WordPress

  2. Have you tried putting that specific rule just below the RewriteBase / rule? I think the other rules are already doing stuff causing your last one to be ignored.
