Rewrite dynamic URL

Question

User-1165198546 posted

Hello everybody,
I have a URL like this:
https://examplesite.com/page/?photo=wedding&=Milan
how can I transform it by removing from URL the ?, =, &, characters so that it becomes like this?
https://examplesite.com/page/photo-wedding-Milan

I'm not very familiar with the rewrite rule, so an example of the code would be much appreciated!
Thank you

Hi Jeymax,

You can try this rule:

<rule name="test" stopProcessing="true">
     <match url="(.*)" />
           <conditions>
               <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="^/page/\?photo=wedding&=Milan" />
           </conditions>
     <action type="Redirect" url="page/photo-wedding-Milan" />
  </rule>

Best regards,

Sam

Hi Samwu,

thanks for your reply.

In which file should this code be placed?

.htaccess?

functions.php?

other?

Finally a last question?

is it possible to apply this rule to dynamic urls? like:
https://examplesite.com/page/?photo=custom-post-type&=taxynomy

in https://examplesite.com/page/photo-custom-post-type-taxynomy
or do I have to do it for each URL?
thank you so much

You need place it in url rewrite.

Creating Rewrite Rules for the URL Rewrite Module

is it possible to apply this rule to dynamic urls? like:
https://examplesite.com/page/?photo=custom-post-type&=taxynomy

in https://examplesite.com/page/photo-custom-post-type-taxynomy

Usually yes, but your needs are a bit special, so you need to create rules for each URL.

Best regards,
