Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Emory - if that's the default .htaccess file your software created (assume this is a Joomla-based site?), it looks like the redirect code you need is already there, but it is disabled by default. The following code Remove index.php or index.htm/html from URL requests #RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(([^/]+/)*)index.(php|html?)\ HTTP/ #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/administrator #RewriteRule ^([^/]+/)*index.(html?|php)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L] should do what you want, The reason its not currently doing anything is because it has been commented out. The "#" symbol at the beginning of each line tells the server NOT to run the code in that line. Try removing the "#" symbol in front of the last three lines of that code, save the file & then thoroughly test your site. (It's not the way I would write it, but there may be specific requirements for your site/system) The first line is just a descriptive header, so the "#" symbol needs to be left on it. If for any reason it causes problems, you can simply re-add the "#" symbols and re-save to return the site to its original state. Give that a shot and let us know if it accomplishes what you want to do. Paul P.S. In particular when testing - ensure that client logins work correctly, and that the search function and all plugins also still work.
