How can I redirect anything after the article url to main article?

hakhan201

Hello everyone,

When someone visits my websites article like http://www.website.com/article-title/lol , it give to 404 page error. But when someone http://www.website.com/article-title/ , it shows the article. The word "lol" can be changed to anything. I would like that to be redirected to the main article.

Is it possible to do so? If yes, please tell me how.

Note: I'm using WordPress

Thank you

You simple need to define your URL rules through htaccess file this will resovle your issue.

Thanks Lkkie,

It would be really kind of you if you can get me the .htaccess code which will help me fix my problem stated above.

Here is the mod_rewrite code that would go in your Wordpress .htaccess file that would redirect

to this:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^article-title/lol(.*)$ http://www.website.com/article-title/$1 [r=301,nc]

Make a note of this Mod_Rewrite Tool and it should help you with similar rules in the future.

Hope that helps!
