For example my site : www.example.com When anyone visit my site , I want them all to redirect to www.example.com/blog But when I open my site it should not redirect me to blog , it should work normally. So how can I achieve above using .htaccess? I am going to apply following code to redirect all pages to blog : RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old\www.example.com$ RewriteRule .* http://www.example.com/blog? [L,R=301] But how can I specify my ip address in above so I can access all pages and no redirects.
