Specific htacces redirect exception-CodePudding

I have created a redirection in .htaccess file for specific condition:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^page/(.*) /clanky/?sf_paged=$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Example:

someone clicks on this link: https://example.com/page/2/ and they will be redirected to: https://example.com/clanky/?sf_paged=2/

This scenario works perfectly.

Now I need to make an exception for the case if a link will be: https://example.com/page/2/?s=zemedelec - (the excluding condition should be /?s=), in this case I don't want to use any redirection.

Any idea, how to make this exception?

CodePudding user response：

To make an exception on your existing rule for when the query string starts with the URL parameter s= then you can add the following condition (RewriteCond directive):

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^s=
RewriteRule ^page/(.*) /clanky/?sf_paged=$1 [R=301,L]

The negated condition !^s= is successful when the query string does not start with s=.

(the excluding condition should be /?s=)

The above does not explicitly check that the URL-path ends in a slash, so it will also exclude requests of the form https://xxx.cz/page/2?s=zemedelec.
