Hi.

Am I interpreting this correctly, that the .htaccess file you are talking about, is the one that is in the original /techblog location ?

If so, and without taking my word for it, isn't it so for a RewriteRule that is in a .htaccess file in such a location "/techblog", that the original URL you are comparing against already has the "/techblog" prefix removed ? (because you are "already there" so to speak)

Maybe you want to try this instead :

RewriteRule /(.*)$  http://www.foo.com/$1 [R=301]

I cleared all rewrites so all I have is the following:
RewriteRule ^/techblog(.*)$  http://www.foo.com/$1 [R=301]

I want http://www.bar.com/techblog/thisfile.html to be redirected to
http://www.foo.com/thisfile.html

I cant seem to get this to work. all I get is  404

i am trying to change the base path of a directory to rewrite to a new
location, there are no files in the location, so it is just a
cosmetic/seo change.

i have some rewrites that are put in place by my hosting provider, and
im having some difficulty getting the rewrite to work:


here is my .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /techblog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteRule   ^/techblog  /technology-blog [L]
RewriteRule . /techblog/index.php [L]


</IfModule>

# END WordPress
