Rewrite/redirect url WordPress
- SOLVED
Hi - not sure if this requires htaccess or a function.
I want to rewrite an image url to a normal page.
Eg,
http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/demo-image.jpg
to
http://www.example.com/new-folder/demo-image/
or
http://www.example.com/new-folder/second-folder/demo-image/
a) has to work for all folders (dates) in /uploads
b) the image filename is used without the extension
The pagename will always be the same as the image filename - without the extension.
I'd also like a version that works for redirecting to a new domain
http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/demo-image.jpg
to
http://www.newdomain.com/new-folder/demo-image/

I haven't tested it, but you could try something like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^wp-content/uploads/.*?([^/.]+).(jpg|gif|png)$ http://www.newdomain.com/new-folder/$1/ [QSA,NC,R=301,L]
for the redirect from
http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/demo-image.jpg
to
http://www.newdomain.com/new-folder/demo-image/

I put in in the main .htaccess - unfortunately it didn't redirect the image though.

This worked for me:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^wp-content/uploads/.*?([^/.]+).(jpg|gif|png)$ http://www.newdomain.com/new-folder/$1/ [QSA,NC,R=301,L]
</IfModule>
and also this one:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wp-content/uploads/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ([^/]*).(jpg|gif|png)$ http://www.newdomain.com/new-folder/$1/ [QSA,NC,R=301,L]
</IfModule>
