All pages redirect to single page - Too many redirect wordpress

Question

I tried to redirect all the pages to one page. I got the solution from the following question in Stack overflow but I'm getting Too many redirects error. Here is my code:

Options -MultiViews +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/closing-down$ 
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^my\.ip\.11\.11
RewriteRule $ /closing-down [R=302,L]

Change your rule to this:

Options -MultiViews +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !\s/closing-down[\s?] [NC]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^my\.ip\.11\.11
RewriteRule ^ /closing-down [R=302,L]

And test this in new browser to avoid old cache.

Using THE_REQUEST instead of REQUEST_URI as REQUEST_URI may change to /index.php after WP default rule whereas THE_REQUEST remains unchanged for a web request.

But I took the code from accepted answer in the forum why it's not working for me? – Sarath Kumar Jun 06 '19 at 07:36
That answer may not be using WP I have already given you reason why `REQUEST_URI` doesn't work. – anubhava Jun 06 '19 at 07:37
Got it. Could you please add except for static file like css. It might help others.thanks – Sarath Kumar Jun 06 '19 at 07:40

Added `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f` to exclude static files. – anubhava Jun 06 '19 at 07:42
