: Redirect various http domains to certain https domain via htaccess I have a bunch of domain names with different TLDs. What I want is to point several domains to the "main"-domain which has

@Jamie184

With your additional domains pointing to subdirectories off the main domain's document root, you can add the following to the .htaccess in that subdirectory to redirect to the main domain:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) maindomain.com/ [R=302,L]


Note that this uses mod_rewrite, not mod_alias (Redirect). As such it will override the mod_rewrite directives in the parent .htaccess file. This assumes that the parent .htaccess file (which includes the WordPress directives) does not use mod_alias. (WordPress usually only uses mod_rewrite.)

Change the 302 (temporary) redirect to a 301 (permanent) redirect when you are happy it's working OK.



An alternative (as mentioned in comments) is to simply point these additional domains to the main domain's document root as opposed to subdirectories. Then, you would need to modify the main domains .htaccess file and include a similar external redirect before the WordPress directives. Something like:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?additionaldomain1.net$
RewriteRule (.*) maindomain.com/ [R=302,L]


In fact, you could do this anyway with the subdirectories, and not use the .htaccess file in the subdirectory. .htaccess files are inherited by default.
