Hello,
it would be nice to have an additional option to remove the /index.php/ path from urls in the htaccess-Maker.

.htaccess rule:

# Remove /index.php/ path from URL (SEF must be enabled in Joomla configuration)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index\.php/
RewriteRule ^index.php/(.*) /$1 [R,L]

Thanks,
Reinhard

Hello,

there is no need to bother Admin Tools: you can do that with your regular Joomla installation.
Inside Joomla Global Configuration page, there is an option named Enable URL rewriting. If you flip that switch, it will completely remove the index.php part

Hello,
i know this redirect is only useful for already indexed pages on search engines. ...more a SEO feature.

To clearify:
Enable URL rewriting only affects the Joomla Router and does not redirect "old URLs" to the URL without /index.php/ in path.

Thats the reason why is suggested this.

Thanks,
Reinhard

This is a specific solution to a very specific case, I hardly doubt it could be included inside Admin Tools default features.
You can always add it to your htaccess using the fields Add custom htaccess rules... inside the Htaccess Maker
