But it can be difficult for users to remember to add this extension in request URLs, which may result in &#8216;Page Not Found&#8217; errors. Therefore, it is advisable to remove these extensions from your website&#8217;s URLs. Here&#8217;s how to remove .html from URL in Apache. You can use these steps to remove .html from URL in WordPress, Magento, Drupal, Joomla and other CMS systems. You can also use it to remove index.html from URLs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/how-to-remove-html-from-url-in-apache-wordpress\/#Why_Remove_html_Extension\" >Why Remove .html Extension<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/how-to-remove-html-from-url-in-apache-wordpress\/#Remove_html_extension_from_URL\" >Remove .html extension from URL<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/how-to-remove-html-from-url-in-apache-wordpress\/#1_Open_htaccess_file\" >1.

Users are also required to add the extension in their requests. But these days, nobody adds URL extensions anymore. So if users do not add URL extensions in their request, your web server will see them as a different URL and return &#8216;404: Page Not Found&#8217; error message. Also, any malicious user will be able to quickly figure out your technology by just looking at the URL extension. Therefore, it is recommended to remove URL extensions from your website, when you begin running it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Remove_html_extension_from_URL\"><\/span>Remove .html extension from URL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before proceeding further, you need to enable mod_rewrite in Apache web server. Here are the steps to enable mod_rewrite (.htaccess) in Apache web server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Open_htaccess_file\"><\/span>1. Open htaccess file<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Open terminal and run the following command to open <a href=\"https:\/\/httpd.apache.org\/docs\/2.4\/howto\/htaccess.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">.htaccess<\/a> file. Please change the file path to .htaccess file as per your requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">$ sudo vi \/var\/www\/html\/.htaccess<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Remove_html_extension_from_URL\"><\/span>2. Remove .html extension from URL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Add the following lines to redirect all URLs with .html extension to URLs without file extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\\.html -f\nRewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html [NC,L] <\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>In the above code, the first line checks that the request is a URL and not a directory. The second line redirect matching URLs with .html extension to those without file extension. The last line redirects matching requests to URLs without html file extension. It is similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/how-to-remove-index-php-from-url\/\">removing index.php<\/a> from URL in Apache\/PHP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note, you can use the same method to remove other extensions too such as .php, .asp, .jsp from requested URL. Just replace .html in above code with .php or extension of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example to remove .php from URLs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br>RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\\.<strong>php<\/strong> -f<br>RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.<strong>php<\/strong> [NC,L] <\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Restart_Apache_web_server\"><\/span>3. Restart Apache web server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Restart Apache server with following command<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">$&nbsp;sudo systemctl restart httpd<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Verify_Changes\"><\/span>4. Verify Changes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make sure that .html extension has been removed from URLs, open web browser and enter any URL with .html extension. You will see that the you are redirected to a URL without the extension. Now whether users enter or do not enter .html extension in request URL, they will be redirected to the right page and not see any error message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, most web servers require you to add URL extensions such as .html or .php in requests. Since users may not remember to add them, it may result in 404:Page Not Found errors. To avoid this problem, it is advisable to remove .html extension from URLs in your web server, when you host your website itself, if not later. This way even search engines will be able to capture the right URLs without any extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ubiq.co\/\">Ubiq<\/a>&nbsp;makes it easy to visualize data in minutes, and monitor in real-time dashboards.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/ubiq.co\/accounts\/register\">Try it<\/a>&nbsp;Today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also read:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/how-to-remove-php-from-url-in-apache-wordpress\/\">How to Remove .php from URL in Apache\/Wordpress<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/install-varnish-ubuntu\/\">How to Install Varnish in Ubuntu<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/fix-503-service-temporarily-unavailable-error-apache\/\">How to Fix 503 Service Unavailable in Apache<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes you may need to remove .html from URL in Apache web server.
