Remove .html suffix and redirect Topic is solved

[TheAnt]

Hi, I would like to remove the .html suffix from the pages of my joomla 4 site and set a global redirect. Which method do you suggest?

In the SEF options remove the .html from pages. (that shouldn't be on by default).

What do you mean "global redirect"? If you mean one domain name to another, that sounds like something you need to do in your web hosting not in Joomla.
You can add the 301(permanent) redirects to your .htaccess file - see this for example:
https://docs.joomla.org/Creating_301_redirects

Thanks for reply. I mean set a redirect for all urls with the .html suffix to the corresponding ones without the suffix, without having to set them one by one.

I don't know then if you can do that in the joomla redirect component with some sort of wild-card redirect.

You would need to do that in .htaccess, external to Joomla. (per second link I provided).

But you can turn off the .html suffix, as mentioned in the SEF options. No need to redirect anything.

Unless I'm misunderstanding your question.

You could try redirecting in .htaccess
try

Code: Select all

########## Begin - Redirect html to non html
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
## If the above throws an HTTP 500 error, swap [R=301,L] with [R,L]
########## End - Redirect html to non html

Put in the correct place

Code: Select all

## Begin - Custom redirects
#
# If you need to redirect some pages, or set a canonical non-www to
# www redirect (or vice versa), place that code here. Ensure those
# redirects use the correct RewriteRule syntax and the [R=301,L] flags.
#
########## Begin - Redirect html to non html
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
## If the above throws an HTTP 500 error, swap [R=301,L] with [R,L]
########## End - Redirect html to non html
