Thread: How to hide domain extension in page

Hi guys,

I need your help to hide domain extension in a page.

I created a html file (free-gift.html) in the root directory and the WordPress is also installed in the same directory.

The final result leads to this page: Instant Cash Systems

Now I want to hide .html extension in this URL. How can I do it?

The default .htaccess is already configured for .php extension (for WordPress) and I tried for .html extension, but didn't work (a wild 500 internal error page appears).

Your help is appreciated

This is for complete rewriting url and hide html and php

PHP Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yordomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f


RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php 


It doesn't work. I got same internal error again. Any idea?

You could create a directory in your site root called free-gift and put your page in the directory and rename it index.html. The official link would be yoursite.com/free-gift/, but the browser would supply the trailing '/' so yoursite.com/free-gift should work fine.

Thanks wink! I'm going to try this out..

EDIT: It worked! Thanks alot wink!

Good deal, but now the link in your first post is broken.
