htaccess 301 redirect example.com/beta/xyz to example.com/xyz

I need a general rule that maps every URL in the /beta subdirectory to the corresponding URL in the root; essentially I need to remove /beta from all URLs.

In case it makes any difference, the URLs are dynamically开发者_如何学编程 generated by WordPress.

Currently my .htaccess file is:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>  
RewriteEngine On  
RewriteBase /  
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d  
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]  
</IfModule>
#END WordPress

Can you tell me where to put the new lines?

Thank you!

Could you try this?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^beta/(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Your question is not entirely clear, but I would bet that what you want is having a Wordpress installed in somedir/beta appear in yoursite.com/ instead of yoursite.com/beta/. The rules you pasted are in somedir/beta/.htaccess, and are the default Wordpress rules. You must leave those alone.

What you need for that is to put the following rules in the root directory, as in, somedir/.htaccess, after changing example.com to your own domain. Your webserver first reads this root .htaccess, and when it does, it will know to rewrite requests to /beta.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/beta/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /beta/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ beta/index.php [L] 
</IfModule>
