htaccess redirects not working properly

I am trying to add htaccess 301 redirect to redirect my old site to new domain. After changing everything and updating the htaccess, only main site url is redirected and all other urls are unaffected. I want every urls to redirect to new domain. Example : olddomain.com > newdomain.com (Works) olddomain.com/file > newdomain.com/file (Doesn't work) htaccess :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Full htaccess :

Your redirect is a little different than what cPanel would generate that works for a wildcard redirect, try:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.olddomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http\:\/\/www\.newdomain\.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I also would recommend putting this code above everything else. Is the old domain parked on top of the new domain, because if it's a separate folder, there's no reason to have any of the old wordpress and other htaccess lines in the file anymore. Just the redirect, and the cPanel generated handlers and directives are fine.

If you want to redirect olddomain.com to a newdomain.com Add the following to your .htaccess file: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$ RewriteRule (.*)$
