6 .htaccess Rewrites: Remove index.html, Remove .html, Force non-www, Force Trailing Slash

[NeatIT]

i've to give some information about my website Environment

1. i have static webpage in the root.

2. Wordpress installed in sub-dictionary www.domain.com/blog/

3. I have two .htaccess , one in the root and one in the wordpress
folder.

i want to

• www to non on all URLs
• Remove index.html from url
• Remove all .html extension / Re-direct 301 to url
  without .html extension
• Add trailing slash to the static webpages / Re-direct 301 from non-trailing slash
• Force trailing slash to the Wordpress Webpages / Re-direct 301 from non-trailing slash

Some examples

domain.tld/index.html >> domain.tld/

domain.tld/file.html >> domain.tld/file/

domain.tld/file.html/ >> domain.tld/file/

domain.tld/wordpress/post-name >> domain.tld/wordpress/post-name/

My code in ROOT htaccess is

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#removing trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1 [R=301,L]

#www to non
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(([a-z0-9_]+.)?domain.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

#html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]

#index redirect
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index.html$ http://domain.com/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} .html
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ /$1 [R=301,L]</ifmodule>

The above code do

1. redirect www to non-www
2. Remove trailing slash at the end (if exists)
3. Remove index.html
4. Remove all .html
5. Redirect 301 to filename but doesn't add trailing slash at the end

Hi Tom,

thanks for your reply.

i have some problems

the above code doesn't

1 - Add trailing slash to the static webpages / Re-direct 301 from non-trailing slash

so it should be http://ghadaalsaman.com/articles/ instead of http://ghadaalsaman.com/articles

2 - Force trailing slash to the Wordpress Webpages / Re-direct 301 from non-trailing slash

Hey NeatIT!

I see you have a working solution there. Did you have a specific question about the setup?

I did notice that your setup cane sometimes result in chaining 301 redirects, which is one area for possible improvement.

Let me know how we can help!
