Question

I have been given a task to change 100’s of .htm files on a site to only show the contact page. As appose to changing the files I am thinking to just use a .htaccess file and force all requests which includes a “.htm” or “.html” to the contact.htm page.

I have very limited knowledge about .ht_access files and the one I have which forces all requests through a index.php isn’t working because one of the rewrite conditions is to check whether the file is real or not.

Any advice or tips will greatly be appreciated:

 // My .htaccess rules at the moment:
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ contact.htm [NC,L]

Answer 1

You can try something like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^[^\.]*\.htm$ contact.htm [NC,L]

This will replace everything that ends with .htm to contact.htm

EDIT: Made a mistake, checked it and fixed it
