: How to match only part of URL and redirect URL with parameters in .htaccess? I have a number of links with similar structure: example.com/index.php/path/some-path/some-subpath?parameter=1 Which I

If the query string is irrelevant then it can simply be ignored. (You can't match the query string anyway with the RewriteRule directive.)

Try the following in your root .htaccess file to redirect the request:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index.php/path/some-path/some-subpath$ /category/? [L,R=301]


In per-directory .htaccess files, the URL-path matched by the RewriteRule pattern has the directory-prefix removed. In other words, it does not start with a slash, ^index.php.... instead of ^/index.php.....

The ? on the end of the RewriteRule substitution is required in order to remove the query string (if any) from the request. Otherwise parameter=1 will be passed through and appended to the target URL.

This will match any query string, including an empty one.
