Re: [cobalt-users] Change default user's website URL "users/my_user"to"my_user"

["Jean-Philippe CAZARD" <jpcazard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your help, but, I have tried your solution, with a
"RewriteRule" directive in a .htaccess file, but ... unsuccessfully (I have
a 404 Error with URL www.domain.com/joe, while www.domaine.com/users/joe is
OK :-(

Contents of the .htaccess (placed in directory /sites/site#/web) is :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/joe/(*) /users/joe/$1 [L]

Why doesn't it works ???

Any help apreciated !

Best regards,

JP CAZARD
