Hello, Thank you for your question on configuring your htaccess file to give you pretty URLs. Are you using a CMS? These (such as Joomla, WordPress, etc) usually have a setting to enable pretty URLs without you having to custom code your own. If not, the best we can do is to guide you to our article on how to create redirects in the htaccess file. We cannot provide custom coded solutions, unfortunately. Kindest Regards, Scott M
