DUDE! I searched high and low for something like this and after a day of searching and trying to tweak it myself, I found this page.

You are a lifesaver.

THANK YOU!

Code works a dream. Now I have /something and no longer /something.html

Next issue though ….. I do not want to set up 301 redirects for every single page, from the /something.html version to /something

Is there a single piece of code I can insert into the .htaccess file to solve this or am I facing having to set up 40+ 301 redirects?

Hope somone can advise,

jen

Forbidden

Would this work for php,html,css,jpg,gif,png?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.(php|html|css|jpg|gif|png) -f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.html

Hello Eisabai,

I digged a lot of sources looking for a good reference of this issues and I’m so glad to find your website.

Your article is the best. Thank you and thanks to all people who commented above and contributed to correcting and improving this code.

BTW, I had the same problem that some people mentioned before – with CSS and images. I solved it with ../ in my relative path.

I have both .html and .php pages and would like to hide both extensions on the same site using one .htaccess file – is this a possibility, if so, it would be appreciated if you could make an update to this post.

Thanks

If you make all of your links absolute it works ( absolute url to your css files, image files etc )
