.htacces Redirection problem

Hello.

i am trying to find a solution to this problem for some days now.

I have installed my wordpress blog in somedomain.com/blog
for several months it was live with visitors and all that.
a week ago i decided to direct all my visitors to the root so i configured wordpress to show all the posts in / instead of /blog and all my parmalink structure has changed accordingly. for example: mydomain.com/blog/somecategory/somepost is now:mydomain.com/somecategory/somepost

but since i didn't want to lose all my outbound links that was published before the change and deal with alot of 404's i did a .htaccess redirect as follows:
Redirect 301 /blog/ http://my domain.com/

so every link out there thats included the /blog prefix was now redirected to the /root.

but now for the problem: since every address contains /blog is redirected to root, i cant login to my admin panel because it is located in the /blog folder.
and every management directive in wordpress is in /blog folder.

Please help me with that guys...

 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(wp-admin|wp-content|wp-includes)
RewriteRule ^blog/ http://mydomain.com/? [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

Please rep if I was helpful Thanks.

 

Thanks for the help.
unfortunately the code you provided did not remove the /blog prefix from the url.

this is the code i used:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(wp-admin|wp-content|wp-includes)
RewriteRule ^blog/ http://emetaheret.org.il/? [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

i'm sure it's a misspelled error or something...

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(wp-admin|wp-content|wp-includes)
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*) http://mydomain.com/$1? [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

 

still not working...

When i use the url:

http://emetaheret.org.il/blog

Code (markup):

The Htaccess code does not redirect me to:

http://emetaheret.org.il

Code (markup):

this is the full .htaccess file for you to see.
maybe something there is not right:

# Permanent redirection
# RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/$ http://emetaheret.org.il/
# Redirect 301 /blog/ http://emetaheret.org.il/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(wp-admin|wp-content|wp-includes)
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*) http://emetaheret.org.il/$1? [R=301,L]

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Code (markup):

for now, i restored the redirection command:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/$ http://emetaheret.org.il/

Code (markup):

in order not to lose visitors.

 

Try adding a forward slash before blog/

RewriteRule ^/blog/(.*) http://emetaheret.org.il/$1? [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

Cheers

 

Still Doesn't work...

The url: http://emetaheret.org.il/blog

Code (markup):

returns:

http://emetaheret.org.il/blog/

Code (markup):

 

Sorry for the mess - but I can't post links apparently...

Redirect 301 / httpyourwebsitehere

You can also try making an index.php file in that directory, and putting this in it:
<?php
header( 'Location: httpyourwebsitehere' ) ;
?>

Those should take you directly to whatever address you put in.

 

Hi.

you can post links when you rap them in "code" tag...

I allready tried the :

 Redirect 301 /blog/ http://my domain.com/

Code (markup):

method but the problem was that it also redirected my admin address which has to be with the /blog prefix.

Read my first Quastion...

 

Well then what about the index.php redirection method?

 

Guys, i need help on redirect the url like http://www.madridbarca.com/profile.php?user=miccy to http://www.madridbarca.com/miccy/ , please help on how to do it, thanks!

 

I think that it's not a good idea from the seo point of view...

 

And what are you basing that off of, Nivosh?

A redirect doesn't affect your SEO - the engine just updates accordingly.
