How do I make pretty URLs?

Hosting Support

I’d like my page to be displayed like whackamoley.epizy.com/home, not whackamoley.epizy.com/home.html

How do I do that? I can’t really find anything on google that works for me. Also, I’m not using php as I honestly have no clue how to write php. So php solutions won’t work.

None of the solutions work when I add it to .htaccess? (.htaccess in htdocs that I made not the og one that says “do not edit”

@Whackamoley add this into your .htaccess file:

Options +MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

If you have any issues I will be happy to help :slight_smile:

Hi, adding that doesn’t work.

8

please explain more than just ‘does not work’

Ok so I pasted it into my htaccess file. But when I access my website, and press a link that redirects to a different .html file. It still has its url as “file.html”

I’m probably making a stupid mistake here though, as I’m still relatively new to web development. Just not really sure what it is.

Add this code to your .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f 
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.php [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f 
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.html [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.htm -f 
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.htm [L,QSA] 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f 
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \/$|\.php\ HTTP [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /404 [L] 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f 
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \/$|\.html\ HTTP [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /404 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f 
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \/$|\.htm\ HTTP [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /404 [L]
12

Make sure you have a 404.html or .htm or .php available.

13

What’s that for? When someone can’t find a page?

14

This is its full code:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /([^.]+)\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [NC,L,R]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.html [NC,L]
15

Just realized why it wasn’t working was because I was still linking them with .html or .php… But yeah your solution works!

yep, but that is only for .html files.
