: Redirect a subdirectory to the main domain in htaccess I have the folowing structure: www.example.com - DE version www.example.com/de - DE version www.example.com/en - EN version I want to be

@Ogunnowo487

To redirect example.com/de to example.com (and all the URLs within) then you can do something like the following (after your current directives):

RewriteRule ^(?:de|de/(.*))$ / [R=301,L]


This will redirect /de or /de/ or /de/something to the corresponding URL in the document root. It won't redirect /desomething (in case you have other files in the root that start "de").

The ?: after the first parenthesis makes the group non-capturing.

To prevent /de/ (trailing slash) from redirecting you could change the * (0 or more) to + (1 or more) in the regex. ie. ^(?:de|de/(.+))$
