I'm with Luca here. A simple redirectmatch would do what you seek. RedirectMatch ^/deptblogs/$ http://intranet/template_departments.cfm Let PHP do complex stuff and let requests for simple paths be handled with simple httpd directives, or at least, that's why I would do to not lose hair in the process :) If you have an .htaccess in place like seems to be the case, then perhaps this should be the first line after the RewriteBase: RewriteRule ^/deptblogs/$ http://intranet/template_departments.cfm [R,L] This is the same as the redirectmatch but with a rewriterule and defined the first to make sure it takes precedence over the complicated directives later on. 2018-01-25 9:07 GMT+01:00 Marat Khalili <mkh@xxxxxx>: > On 24/01/18 22:53, Kory Wheatley wrote: > > Ya there is a .htaccess that has the base set to deptblogs what could I > change in here to get it to work? > > [kwheatley@sftpface2 wordpress]$ cat .htaccess > RewriteEngine On > RewriteBase /deptblogs/ > RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] > > # uploaded files > RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 > [L] > > # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin > RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L] > > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d > RewriteRule ^ - [L] > RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L] > RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L] > RewriteRule . index.php [L] > #Redirect 301 / http://intranet/template_departments.cfm > > > This looks too complex for me to interpret for sure without real-world > tests, particularly, because [L] in .htaccess context does not actually end > rewriting like one might though.
