I’m using the LG .htaccess Generator to remove “index.php” from the site’s URL. Can anyone help with a recommended way to redirect ALL URLs that contain query strings to my site’s home page using my .htaccess file? Or if there’s a better way to do it than using .htaccess I’m all ears!
For example, if someone types in “http://mysite.com/?anything_here” I’d like them to be redirected to “http://mysite.com/”
Here is my current .htaccess code:
# -- LG .htaccess Generator Start --
# .htaccess generated by LG .htaccess Generator v1.0.0
# http://leevigraham.com/cms-customisation/expressionengine/addon/lg-htaccess-generator/
# secure .htaccess file
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
# Dont list files in index pages
IndexIgnore *
# EE 404 page for missing pages
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?/404/index
# Simple 404 for missing files
<FilesMatch "(\.jpe?g|gif|png|bmp)$">
ErrorDocument 404 "File Not Found"
</FilesMatch>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# remove the www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# Add a trailing slash to paths without an extension
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [L,R=301]
# Remove index.php
# Uses the "include method"
# http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Remove_index.php_From_URLs/#Include_List_Method
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5})$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(ee_default|search|embeds|site|how-it-works|features|pricing-and-signup|about-us|contact-us|news|terms-conditions|privacy-policy|sitemap|merchant-accounts|landing|master_redirect|news_test|test|404|compareus|landing|members|P[0-9]{2,8}) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
# Remove IE image toolbar
<FilesMatch "\.(html|htm|php)$">
Header set imagetoolbar "no"
</FilesMatch>
# -- LG .htaccess Generator End --
Thanks for any tips on the best way to handle this!
