How to open html pages without .html

If your site uses links like http://domain.com/testpage.html and http://domain.com/demo.html, and you want them to open like http://domain.com/testpage and http://domain.com/demo, you can use this solution.

Go through FTP or a File Manager to the folder with the site files. Open file .htaccess and add the following code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^.]+)\.html\ HTTP
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.html$ domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[^./]+)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_fileNAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_fileNAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*) /$1.html

where instead of domain.com use your domain name.

If file .htaccess (don’t forget to put a dot before the file name!) does not exist on the server, you can create it and paste the code from the example above with editing the domain name.
