301 Redirect New Website URL Structure .htaccess

My website is changing URLs and will remove the file extension .html

OLD URL:

http://example.com/states.html

NEW URL:

http://example.com/states

How can I set up my .htaccess file to do a site-wide redirect removing the .html extension?

To redirect from .html to extensionless URLs, try the following near the top of your .htaccess file (before the front controller that is rewriting your "pretty" URLs).

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.+)\.html$ /$1 [R=302,L]

Change the 302 (temporary) redirect to 301 (permanent) when you are sure it's working OK. 301s are cached by the browser so can make testing problematic if there is an error.

This should do the trick for you:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html
