Happy holidays!!
Sorry that I am coming at such inadequate moment.

I have the following redirect with Cloudflare, but I have to set up this in the haccess file now .

It’s only a redirect for the home page:
example.com redirects to example.com/es/

I saw your KB however this is a bit different, and I don’t want to mess up the live site. https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-redirect-www-urls-to-non-www/

Should this work, or has to be a completely different thing?
1)
```
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.example.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com/es$1 [R=301,L]
```
OR

2)
Is the above redirect ok or it must have a slash after /es/
```
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.example.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com/es/$1 [R=301,L]
```
I will be very grateful if you could help!
Thanks
Irene

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

The 2nd code should work for the redirection:
```
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.example.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com/es/$1 [R=301,L]
```
Hope this helps.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hello,

I’ve checked the site, and it’s already redirecting to the /es/ version. Please refer to the screenshot attached in the sensitive data section.

Could you please try clearing your website and browser’s cache?

I hope that helps.

Thank you.

As I said this is redirected by a Cloudflare page rule that I had setup before.

Now I have to setup the redirection in the htaccess file because I have to pausse Cloudflare.

I disable/enable to check the htaccess redirect.

As the htaccess redirect doesnt work, I enable the Cloudflare page rule again.

I use Cloudways, I think that maybe not everything works the same that in other servers.

Hello,

If you only want the redirect to be applied to your homepage, please try using either one of these:
```
RedirectMatch 301 ^/$ https://newsite.com/es
```
or
```
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ https://newsite.com/es [L,R=301]
```
Then add the code snippet after the #END WordPress line in your .htaccess file.

Furthermore, you can get in touch with your web host for this kind of redirect as they are in a better position to help you with this.

Thank you.
