Redirect root URL only, no inner pages ??

phluid · Sep 25, 2014

It has to be something simple but I've looked all over and can't figure it out. I need to redirect only the root url of a site without redirecting any of the any pages. Anyone familiar with this? It is a wordpress site and I would prefer to do it via the .htaccess file.

Why don't you edit your wordpress theme? Go under Appearance and Editor and try editing index.php or front-page.php

Try this code in your .htaccess file

Code:

RewriteEngine On
rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^CURRENTDOMAIN.com [NC]
rewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.NEWDOMAIN.com [R=301,L]

No luck, there be an additional of my .htaccess being all twacked out. I'm starting to wonder if it's even going to be possible the way I have things setup.

Try this simple one

Code:

redirect 301 / http://www.TARGET.com

I tried that before and it redirect all my inner pages to the root url of the other site as well.
