Remove .html extension excluding one directory

Question

I am using the following code to remove the .html suffix and would like to exclude it for my /billing directory. How can I do this?

All the files in my /billing directory have the .php extension

RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]

Answer 1

You can add a RewriteCond that excludes the rule in the billing directory:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/billing/
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]
