wordpress .htaccess rewrite url

Question

I am developing quiz section for my wordpress site. I have W3 total cache installed on my site. I want to put quiz on

http://www.example.com/quiz/seo-friendly-title/id

and rewrite htaccess to redirect the url to

http://www.example.com/quiz?title=seo-friendly-title&quiz-id=id

The quiz section is developed as wordpress template and a blank page is made using this template.

This is .htaccess I wrote.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^quiz/([\w\d\-]+)/(\d]+)$ quiz?title=$1&quiz-id=$2 [L] RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>

Any form of help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

You can try this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    RewriteRule ^quiz/seo-friendly-title/(.*)$ quiz?title=seo-friendly-title&quiz-id=$1 [R,L]

    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
