i have a web.config of iis server and i need to convert the redirect to apache [.htaccess] I try to do this and I success to get this:
RewriteRule ^wp-content/uploads/.+?\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$ https://XX/YY%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
I get redirect to "HTTPS/xx/yy/wp-content/uploads" but I need to get this path: "HTTPS/xx/yy/uploads" - same without wp-content. how can I do it? Thanks!
You need a capturing group in the RewriteRule pattern that excludes the wp-content/ prefix and use this in the substitution string, instead of REQUEST_URI, which contains the entire URL-path.
For example:
RewriteRule ^wp-content/(uploads/.+\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg))$ https://XX/YY/$1 [R=301,L]
No need for the non-greedy quantifier in the middle (ie. .+?) - it is marginally more efficient without.
You will need to clear your browser cache before testing since the erroneous 301 (permanent) redirect will have been cached by the browser.
Test first with a 302 (temporary) redirect to avoid potential caching issues.
