[SOLVED] Surely A Simply Rewrite

tsguitar2004 · 07-06-2012, 07:53 PM

I can't believe that I cannot figure this out.

I have:
http://nextvista.org/embed/player.phtml?id=1553

and I want it to be:
http://nextvista.org/embed/1553

Among other things, I've tried to put this in my HTACCESS:

Code:

RewriteBase /embed

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ /player.phtml?id=$1

I've been through a few other possibilities and I just can't seem to figure it out. Maybe I need to drink more coffee today. In the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

I knew this would happen. I figured it out:

Code:

RewriteRule ^embed/([0-9]+)?$ embed/player.phtml?id=$1

I simply had it in the wrong spot in my .htaccess file so other rules were getting in the way. So if you're like me and running something like this on a WordPress install, put these rules immediately after this block:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

Thanks for stopping by!
