I have a Wordpress MultiSite, let's say:

  • example.com
  • two.example.com
  • tree.example.com
  • ...
  • xyz.example.com

Currently, I'm using this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L] 

to redirect the entry MS to the no-www version.

Now I want to exclude some directories (i.e wp-admin) and pages:

  • www.%.example.com/wp-admin/whatever -> no effect
  • www.%.example.com/prefixwhatever -> no effect
  • www.%.example.com/whatever -> %.example.com/samethever

I saw this code in another question, but it needs some fixes to works for me (i.e. not exclude home page and take the HTTP HOST as a variable).

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
    #Home: Exclude the home Page
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$ [OR]
    #News: exclude anything that starts with /prefix, /prefix-2 etc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(prefix|prefix-2|wp-admin) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Any ideas? :D

Thank you!

EDIT The following is NOT working. It is not redirecting nothing. :(

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# If yes-www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ [NC] 
# If the request doesn't start /prefix
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/prefix
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/prefiix-2
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-admin
# Rewrite it:
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

EDIT 2 This code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/host #physical file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test #Wordpress page
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-admin #physical dir
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-login.php #physical file
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L] 
</IfModule>

Seems to be working fine with physical files/dirs. With Wordpress pages this is what happen:

  • www.example.com/test -> example.com/index.php
  • www.example.com/testwhatever -> example.com/index.php

:(

EDIT 3

Now it seems to be working fine, just added a new Cond:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
   #If whe're using www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
    #prefixes to !^ ignore
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/host
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/aprobar
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-login.php
    #See at the end about index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L] 
</IfModule>

When you're using permalinks, Wordpress do something like this to get the content:

  • www.example.com/pretty-url -> www.example.com/index.php?pretty-url

So we need to avoid redirecting index.php

The new problem is that we are NOT doing this:

  • www.example.com/index.php -> example.com/index.php -> example.com/

I think we can set a new rule at the very end of .htaccess to rewrite this particular case.
