I thought this would be simple...

    I have a Wordpress blog that has posts in English and dynamic Spanish translations that via permalink have an /es/ directory extension:

    English: http://site.com/

    Spanish: http://site.com/es/

    Is there a way to use .htaccess to always redirect to the /es/ pages? In other words, when someone typed in www.site.com they go to www.site.com/es/.

    The variations I've tried have all created endless loops.

    Thanks

    This? Although this prevent access to the English version!

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule !^es/ es%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

    I think this is best handled in a server side script.

    Thanks for the reply, krt.

    I tried your suggestion, but still get "endless loop" error. :confused:

    RedirectMatch permanent ^(slash)index.php$ http(colon)(slash)(slash)site.com(slash)es

    Replace (slash) with /

    Where index.php is the index file outside your es directory. It can be anything index.htm , index.html etc..
