Htaccess issue
-
I have some urls in my site due to a rating counter. These are like:
domain.com/?score=4&rew=25
domain.com/?score=1&rew=28
domain.com/?score=5&rew=95These are all duplicate content to my homepage and I want to 301 redirect them there. I tried so far:
RedirectMatch 301 /[a-z]score[a-z] http://domain.com
RedirectMatch 301 /.score. http://domain.com
RedirectMatch 301 /^score$.* http://domain.com
RedirectMatch 301 /.^score$.* http://domain.com
RedirectMatch 301 /[a-z]score[a-z] http://domain.com
RedirectMatch 301 score http://domain.com
RedirectMatch 301 /[.]score[.] http://domain.com
RedirectMatch 301 /[.]score[.] http://domain.com
RedirectMatch 301 /[a-z,0-9]score[a-z,0-9] http://domain.com
RedirectMatch 301 /[a-z,0-9,=,&]score[a-z,0-9,=,&] http://domain.com
RedirectMatch 301 /[a-z,0-9,=&?/.]score[a-z,0-9,=&] http://domain.comNone of them works. Anybody? Solution? Would be very much appriciated

This is the document I was searching for. I always got lost as other resources did not explain all character means but I think I will at last be able to understand this one. Thanks again
-
Thanks again for your help, really, much appreciated. Have a nice day.

Can I suggest that you read through the docs? They're pretty good and have some nice intros:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/intro.html
% needed since it is a variable
^(.*)$ is 'match the url'
? at the end deletes the query string that came in.
Note, the ^(.*)$ is calculated first, then the condition.
So the whole thing says:
^(.*)$ .... for any urls,
RewriteCond.... where there is a query string with score, rel etc.http://domain.com? .... replace the whole thing with http://domain.com/

Can I ask you two more things?
First, could you please explain the regex to me as I don't understand a few parts, so:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^score=[0-9]&rew=[0-9]$
RewriteCond this is the condition hen rewrite should take place
% I don't know why it is necessarry just see it everywhere
{QUERY_STRING} gets the query string
^ matches from beginning
score=[0-9]* score=takes a number from 0-9 zero to more times
&rew=[0-9]*$ again with rew=RewriteRule rule fot the rewrite
^(.*)$ I totally don't get this one
http://domain.com? I don't know why ? is needed
[R=301,L] 301 redirectSecondly I would like to ask you for a code to remove .html endings from any urls.I think it should begin like
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.*).html
But I am totally not enough for the second part. Could you please help me with this one as well?

Happy to help Zsolt, I know how frustrating it can be to get some rules working.
Here's a great place to test regex: http://gskinner.com/RegExr/

Splendid You are the MAN. Thanks

Try playing with something like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^score=[0-9]&rew=[0-9]$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com? [R=301,L]The score part of the URL are being treated as parameters.
An alternative would be (in GWT and BWC) to tell Google/Bing to ignore the score and rew parameters

Sudden issue: no google cache for any product detail pages and offer schema missing from SERPS
Absolutely no idea what is going on. All of our category / subcategory and other support pages are indexed and cached as normal, but suddenly none of our product pages are cached, and all of the product / offer schema snippets have been dropped from the serps as well (price, review count, average rating etc). When I inspect a product detail page url in GSC, I am either getting errors or it is returned as a soft 404. There have been no recent changes to our website that are obvious culprits. When I request indexing, it works fine for non-product pages, but generates the "Something went wrong

If the issue persists, try again in a few hours" message for any product page submitted. We are not SEO novices. This is an Angular 7 site with a Universal version launched back in October (new site, same domain), and until this strange issue cropped up we'd enjoyed steady improvement of rankings and GSC technical issues. Has anyone seen anything like this? We are seeing rapid deterioration in rankings overnight for all product detail pages due to this issue. A term / page combination that ranked for over a decade in the top 10 lost 10 places overnight... There's just no obvious culprit. Using chrome dev tools to view as googlebot, everything is kosher. No weird redirects, no errors, returns 200 and page loads. Thank You0 -

Issues with structured data on angular pages.
I am having an issue with Structured Data. I have added the structured data to angular pages of my site but when I run the test from the testing tool it doesn't detect the same. Although when I cut and paste the code (from inspect element) it detects the structured data. But in my webmaster tools, those pages don't show up under structured data. I am unsure if my structured data is being picked up by google. What should be done here? Should I provide pre-rendered pages to google?

Duplicate content issues arise 6 months after creation of website?!
Hi, I've had the same website for 6 months and fixed all original on-site issues a long time ago.Now this week I wake up and found 3 new errors: 3 of my pages have missing titles issues, missing meta description issues and also the Moz crawl says they all have duplicate content issues. All my rankings went down a lot as well. This site is static, doesn't even have a blog, everything is rel canonical and non-indexed. It's 100% original content as well. So how can those issues arise 6 months later? All my titles and descriptions are there and non-duplicate, and the content is original and not duplicate as well. Is this a wordpress bug or virus? Anyone had this happen to them and how to fix it? Thanks a lot for you help! -Marc

Pointing a sub-domain to a sub-folder in htaccess
I have a client who currently uses shopify for there blog. I want to set them up with a separate blog away from the shopify system and host it in Australia. I know the best option is using a subfolder but as the shopify system is an unmoveable CMS can I somehow point my subdomain to a subfolder and get the benefits of the domain name? I could do this by using the rewrite rule in the htaccess file. If I was to do this would it end up cloaking the URL's of the articles?

Re-direct issues
Forgive me for the novice question. But I was recently looking at open site explorer and was checking out my site www.visualawards.com , I know we have a re-direct to www.visualawards.com/home.php . After checking both URL's, I found that I have links pointing to both. Is this bad, am I diluting the links? If yes, which one should I point the future ones to, and is there anyway to recover the current links already? Thanks again for your help!!!
