.htaccess 301 redirect that excludes a subpage

My rule looks like this:

RewriteRule ^page-parent.*$ http://www.domain.com/new-page/?%{QUERY_STRING} [R=301,L]

My issue is that there is a page /page-parent/thanks that I don't want to be redirect.

I am also passing the query string along so that any ?gclid= string will go with.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to exclude a single sub page or all sub pages, which would work too.

Any help is appreciated.

You can check with a RewriteCond if the requested page is the page you want to exclude.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/page-parent/thanks
RewriteRule ^page-parent.*$ http://www.domain.com/new-page/ [R=301,L,QSA]

Make sure that you clean the browser cache when retrying since 301-redirects get cached.

Note: You don't need to append the query string manually.

You can use mod_rewrite to create a condition:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/page-parent/thanks
RewriteRule ^page-parent.*$ http://www.domain.com/new-page/ [R=301,L]

Note that you can leave out the ?%{QUERY_STRING} from your target, because query strings are appended to the target by default unless you've added new params via a ?.
