I have a local set up like this:
local.com/test/folder1/
How can I remove the 'test' directory from the URL but still include 'folder1' through .htaccess? like this:
local.com/folder1/
any help would be appreciated.

You can use this rule in site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On # add a trailing slash if test/$1 is a directory RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/test/$1 -d RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [L,R=301,NE] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(?!test/)(.*)$ test/$1 [L,NC] (?!test/) is negative lookahead to skip rewrite when request is already starting with /test/

cool, thanks. When I type in local.com/folder1/ it works great but when i type in: local.com/folder1 it goes to local.com/test/folder1/ anyway to prevent that from happening?

One last question. I have local.com/test2/ as a directory now it is saying it is 404 not found. How can I only apply the rules you wrote to ONLY directory 'test'??
