Rewrite Rule for Wordpress Blog

Hello,
described in my other thread: Rewrite Rule für Wordpress Blog

I need some Rewrite rule for my Wordpress Blog.

Thats my actual .htaccess:

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^download/patch/([^/]+)$ http://www.world-of-warcraft-patch.de/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

The problem is:
When i write a page in german the url is the following:
ht tp://w ww.world-of-warcraft-patch.de/2010/07/01/world-of-warcraft-cataclysm-client-download/
I use a Plugin to translate this german article in other languages e.g. in english:
ht tp://ww w.world-of-warcraft-patch.de/en/2010/07/01/world-of-warcraft-cataclysm-client-download/

That works perfekt, ONLY ONE PROBLEM! My Download links doesnt work in the translated versions because it also adds the language id e.g. "en" to the url.

ht tp://w ww.world-of-warcraft-patch.de/en/download/patch/27
Thats how a Download URL looks like, but its wrong it must be:
ht tp://w ww.world-of-warcraft-patch.de/download/patch/27

So i need a rewrite rule to redirect the wrong URLs to the right without language ID


Thanks for any help!

Hi,

You would get better support for this from Wordpress support it is not related to vBSEO at all and so we can not assist with with WP questions.

Is the page you are talking about a wordpress page or vBSEO page? It seems like a wordpress issue and you should contact them for support.

This is NO Wordpress issue this is a Rewrite Rule issue. Why are you asking if that is Wordpress? I SAID ITS WORDPRESS, this support here is getting worser every day. Even if you dont want to help, maybe other members could help me with this rewrite rule.

But this is not related to vBSEO rewrites or vBSEO Custom Rewrite rules feature as this forum is intended for. This is about getting your wordpress .htaccess rewrites working as you wish.

We both simply advised you will get better support on this on a wordpress site, where the staff and other members will have more expertise with Wordpress and what you are trying to do.

This might be true, but i dont understand your problem, someone who know how the htaccess syntax work can give me the answer in zero time, thats no big deal. I know its not your product but infact it would not hurt you or anything. I payed already like 3-6 vBSEOs (dont know excalty, because i have some accounts here) and this should be a sign that im a good customer.

Thanks for nothing.

Again, we appreciate your custom and am simply giving you advise that you would probably get better and faster help with this issue on a WP site... It is fine if you want to ask the question here but as it is neither vB or vBSEO related not as many people have the WP knowlege that would be required.

From my first read of your OP it doesn't read as just a simple .htaccess edit that needs to be done but more that you need to work out why your downloads are being linked to incorrectly which to me indicates a problem with the translation plugin itself. I do not know for sure though because I personally do not have much WP experience.

99% the issue has nothing to do with .htaccess . It actually sounds like a problem within your translator modification. It is better for you to contact them and ask why translation module also effects other urls on site like download urls etc...

We support vBSEO only. No other mods, programs, or general website scripts.

Occasionally, we will offer advice for other scripts when it is simple/common knowledge to us. But anything that requires investigation is well beyond our support role of our product.

As mert suggests, you will have the best luck with your mod author, or on a wordpress help site.
