Answer 1

This is for URLs ending with .html /product/raspberrypi.html ---> /product/raspberrypi/ (/product/raspberrypi/index.php) the index.php is hidden. Took me awhile to figure this out. LOL...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.html$
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1 [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

You have to use 'REQUEST_URI' and add it before index redirect rules since it could be overridden by the application. Its important to know that its URI not a filename or directory we are trying to redirect, since the file names all have index.php in the root folders(Wordpress).
