Question

I have a problem with my htaccess file in wordpress. I want to redirect users who come to /wp-login.php?action=register to another registration form with role parameter. Like this /wp-login.php?action=register&role=patient. So i wanna hide first url from users. I wrote this line in my htaccess.

RewriteRule ^wp-login.php?action=register$ /wp-login.php?action=register&role=patient [NC,L]

It’s located here in my file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^wp-login.php?action=register$ /wp-login.php?action=register&role=patient [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

And i have no effect with that. What am i doing wrong here?

Answer 1

You have to match for the query string in a RewriteCond:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}  ^action=register$
RewriteRule ^wp-login[.]php$ /wp-login.php?action=register&role=patient [R,NC,L]
