Hello,
I have a website in Wordpress. Example: http://www.mysite.com
Than I developed a new theme for the website and I have created a new directory on server for developement and testing only. The URL is http://www.mysite.com/newsite/
Now Google scanned my this testing website and added URL from it. So google has added:
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/products/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/products/sample1/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/products/sample2/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/products/sample2/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/about-us/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/contact/
There are more than 100 pages so I cannot add 301 redirection for each URLs.
So I think to add a conditional HTACCESS rule for this.
So:
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/ will redirect to http://www.mysite.com/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/products/ will redirect to http://www.mysite.com/products/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/products/sample1/ will redirect to http://www.mysite.com/products/sample1/
...
and so on.
I have added this HTACCESS rule but this is not working:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /newsite/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^newsite/\.
RewriteRule ^newsite/(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301,QSA].
Please note that the root path (www.mysite.com) also contains Wordpress HTACCESS so if this may give problem?
Can anyone help me to create rule for this?
Thanks
