Canonical URL issue on CodeIgniter application

Question

I am developing an application in CodeIgniter. I got some issues from SEO expert. One issue is URL Canonical issue.

For Example, I can access the same content by multiple URLs.

How to redirect all these URLs to only 1 URL.

I have added `.htaccess` file to remove `index.php`, I can access all my controllers and its methods without `index.php` but still, I can access the same controller and its methods by using `index.php` too. — Bikram Pahi, May 04 '17 at 13:54

a 301 rewrite would also work for directing them

RewriteRule ^index\.php/portfolio/$ /portfolio? [L,R=301]

and so on

It is working fine for both the urls `https://seocompany.us.com/index.php/portfolio/` and `https://seocompany.us.com/index.php/portfolio` but not for this `https://seocompany.us.com/portfolio/`. My `.htaccess` code is `RewriteRule ^index\.php/portfolio/$ /portfolio? [L,R=301] RewriteRule ^index\.php/portfolio$ /portfolio? [L,R=301] RewriteRule ^/portfolio/$ /portfolio? [L,R=301]` – Bikram Pahi May 05 '17 at 08:41

At end of .htaccess file add this. (didn't check)

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^seocompany.us.com/index.php/portfolio/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://seocompany.us.com/portfolio/$1 [L,R=301]

Dear @AbdullaNilam Thanks for the solution. But unfortunately, this solution is not working. I have added the code in my `.htaccess` file. – Bikram Pahi May 04 '17 at 15:31
