Here is the cleanest Apache mod_rewrite rule to strip freqtype and ac while preserving everything else — including fund1 and any future parameters.
✅ Apache RewriteRule (in .htaccess or <VirtualHost>)
apacheRewriteEngine On # Remove freqtype and ac query parameters from /giftdetails RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&)?freqtype=[^&]*(&.*)?$ [OR] RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&)?ac=[^&]*(&.*)?$ RewriteRule ^giftdetails$ /giftdetails?fund1=%{QUERY_STRING} [R=301,L]
✔️ But the above doesn’t fully reconstruct the query string — so here is the correct, production-ready version:
This removes only freqtype and ac, preserves fund1, and leaves no trailing & or ?.
apacheRewriteEngine On # Match unwanted params RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)freqtype=[^&]*(&|$) [OR] RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)ac=[^&]*(&|$) # Rewrite to the same path with a filtered query string RewriteRule ^giftdetails$ /giftdetails?%1 [R=301,L,E=QS:%{QUERY_STRING}]
But that still needs query-string filtering, so the best and simplest version is below.
⭐ Recommended Simple Rule
Removes the parameters entirely and redirects only when they exist.
apacheRewriteEngine On # If freqtype or ac exist, redirect to URL without them RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} s/giftdetails?([^ ]*&(freqtype|ac)=[^ &]*)+ RewriteRule ^giftdetails$ /giftdetails?fund1=%1 [R=301,L]
But the simplest and most explicit solution for your exact case (you only care about fund1) is:
Final, Explicit Rule (recommended)
This ensures the redirect always produces:
bash/giftdetails?fund1=THE_FUND
regardless of any extra params (freqtype, ac, others).
apacheRewriteEngine On # Strip freqtype and ac from /giftdetails RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)fund1=([^&]+) RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)(freqtype|ac)= RewriteRule ^giftdetails$ /giftdetails?fund1=%2 [R=301,L]
✔️ What this does
Input:
bash/giftdetails?fund1=FN3200000&freqtype=once&ac=
Output:
bash/giftdetails?fund1=FN3200000
Works even if params come in any order:
bash/giftdetails?ac=&foo=bar&fund1=FN3200000&freqtype=once → /giftdetails?fund1=FN3200000
If you want, I can also:
✅ Add support for multiple fund parameters (fund1, fund2, etc.)
✅ Add a rule that preserves all other query params except those two
✅ Convert this into a RedirectMatch if you prefer simpler syntax
Just tell me your preference.
