Question

Now I am using this code in my .htaccess

RewriteRule   /images(.*)  /images/$1
RewriteRule   /css(.*)  /css/$1
RewriteRule   /js(.*)  /js/$1

But there is a problem when I have added some third party plugins which uses this same folders but not on root folder, but on their subfolders, so I now need to change this so that it will only apply for folder /images/ and not for example /plugins/myplugin/templates/images/

Answer 1

Try incorporating the ^ regex symbol denoting the beginning of the string:

RewriteRule   ^/?images(.*)  /images/$1
RewriteRule   ^/?css(.*)  /css/$1
RewriteRule   ^/?js(.*)  /js/$1

Now these will only match URL’s like:

http://mysite.com/imagessomething.jpg
http://mysite.com/csssomething.css
http://mysite.com/jssomething.js

but not when they are in a subfolder.
