Curly brackets between the unlink and bold portions of the kitchen sink. Apparently you have to make sure you've said what you need to say, because I couldn't find a way to intuitively shut off the block and type.

Thanks for the feedbacks. I tried the above code. I also tried a few at the website above and did not have any luck. Just to confirm what I am trying to do......Take a page like www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g.html. If someone types in www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g I want it to go to www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g.html so that they do not get a blank page. It was happening on my old site, but not having the same luck with wordpress. Thanks again!

The code above will do the opposite.

domain.com/page.html will become domains.com/page

Did you test for that? Usually this is how people prefer their URLs to be, and if they type in the .html, they'll still get to the page.

WilliamKammer

Thanks! Although, yeah, not very easy to play with.

RobDalton

Yes. I am not getting anything on www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g

I don't really care which way the rule goes just as long as when they put in either url they get something.

Here is the code incase I typo'd something.

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /html/(.).html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule . http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/html/%1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /html/(.)\ HTTP/
RewriteRule . %1.html [L]</ifmodule>

WilliamKammer

don't put your URL in for line 4, keep it as "localhost" like in the example.

RobDalton

That is what I originally had. I put it back.

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /html/(.).html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule . http://localhost/html/%1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /html/(.)\ HTTP/
RewriteRule . %1.html [L]</ifmodule>

Try clicking on www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g and you will see what happens. Thanks,
