It took me a lot of time just to find this kind of solution to my problem. I no longer spend most of my time in redirecting things and refreshing my work every time I experience having problem with my work. Your post is very helpful and really works.

Thanks for this!

Seriously, this should be more well known. I was beating my head on the keyboard for over 30 minutes trying to figure out how to keep Apache from 301 redirecting something that was supposed to be an INTERNAL redirect only.

Thanks for the tip, Carl. What I’ve done is change the title but kept “ignoring” in the slug—both words seem appropriate, and I don’t want to hinder the searches of those who would use “ignoring”!

You need to make this post more prominent! I found this post via a search in Google for “preventing internal rewrites in htaccess” but I had a spend an hour going through non relevant stuff that didn’t work before I found you.

Can I suggest you change your page title from “ignoring internal rewrites…” to “preventing internal rewrites…” and people will find this excellent advice more easily because it will appear higher for the expression that people are more likely to search for.

THANK YOU for sharing this! Can’t believe how much time I just wasted trying to resolve this internal redirect issue.
