Question

I’m trying to write a rewrite rule in my .htaccess file but not sure how to get it working. I want to convert this URL:

http://www.example.com/userskill/?lvl=100k

to

http://www.example.com/?lvl=100k

The underlying page would ultimately be http://www.example.com/home.html?lvl=100k. How can I add a rewrite rule in my .htaccess file to do this?

Answer 1

On top of the htaccess start with putting the RewriteEngine to on

RewriteEngine On

After that you can add your rewrite rule. Which will be something like:

RewriteRule ^userskill/$ index.php [QSA,L]

The QSA part copies the query string from the url.
