Redirect all pages to homepage via .htaccess except backend

[josh_smith2]

Hi there!

I've been trying to redirect all pages of my Magento website to homepage via .htaccess - except the backend, naturally. Currently, I'm using these rules and everything is working fine so far but I want to access my backend (domain.com/office):

# Redirect the all pages to homepage

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.(css|fonts|gif|jpe?g?|png|ico) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ / [R=302,L]

Can someone help me with this? I've been trying many rules but none of them worked well. With some rules, when I try to access my backend, I'm still redirected to homepage. With other rules, I got a ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error message.

Thanks!

Hey @josh_smith2 

Try once following rule:

 RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    # Testing if `admin` then if so, stop rewrite rules, you can change here you admin path
    RewriteRule (.*)/office(.*) - [QSA,L,NC]

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain\.com
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]

OR Modified your code:

# Redirect the all pages to homepage

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.(css|fonts|gif|jpe?g?|png|ico) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ / [R=302,L]
RewriteRule !^office / [L,NC,R=302]
