.htaccess file - stripping out "index_php?"
How Do I?
one year ago
My htaccess code removes “index.php” from urls but it’s supposed to strip out “index.php?”
it leaves the ? which produces a 404 error. htaccess coding is way beyond me
here is my code:
RewriteOptions inherit
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Do you have force url query strings turned on?
Docs: https://docs.expressionengine.com/latest/general/url-structure.html#query-strings
If so, I recommend turning it off.

Hello @ uno online To modify the code to strip out “index.php?” and keep the query string, you can make the following changes:
apache <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /
# Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php\? [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/system/.* [NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ / [R=301,NE,L]
# Directs all EE web requests through the site index file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
With these changes, the htaccess code will redirect URLs with “index.php?” to the root URL without the query string. Please note that modifying htaccess files can be complex, and it’s recommended to have a backup and test thoroughly after making any changes.

Hey hi, please remove index_php? from URL in your .htaccess file. ex,
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php\? [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php$ /$1 [R=301,NE,L]With the help of Redirect Checker, you will be able to track the chain of redirects to which your page redirects. It is advisable to set up redirects on the site in such a way that there is only one redirect between the start and end URL.
