I want htaccess to remove directory (/thedir/) from full URL but it's not working. I only want to remove the /thedir/ from this URL not other urls.
redirect 302 /thedir/?s_id=ff7d7ds7&bmt_source=facebook&bmt_camp=octy-slant&bmt_medium=ball https://example.com/?s_id=ff7d7ds7&bmt_source=facebook&bmt_camp=octy-slant&bmt_medium=ball
Also tried
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^/thedir/?s_id=ff7d7ds7&bmt_source=facebook&bmt_camp=octy-slant&bmt_medium=ball
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/?s_id=ff7d7ds7&bmt_source=facebook&bmt_camp=octy-slant&bmt_medium=ball [R=302,L]
These examples do not remove /thedir/.
Try these rules in your .htaccess file.
