[iamin]

RewriteRule ^(.*).axd?picture=$ https://www.domain.com/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule /\d{4}/\d{2}/(.*) /$1/ [R=301,L]

A RewriteRule only sees the URL path; it doesn't see the query string. The query has to be captured in a RewriteCond.

Thanks Lucy24,
can i hire someone to fix the problem?
thanks

[iamin]

now i try this

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^picture=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*).axd$ https://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/upload/%1? [R=301,L]

url
https: //www.example.com/image.axd?picture=%2f2013%2f02%2fimg.jpg

result
https: //www.example.com/uploads/upload/%252f2013%252f02%252fimg.jpg

how can i transform %252f char in /
to obtain

https: //www.example.com/uploads/upload/2013/02/img.jpg
thanks

you'll need an internal rewrite loop to incrementally fix the percent-encoded characters one at a time.

this thread might give you some hints:

I'd worry about how you arrived at %25blahblah in the first place, since that's double encoding (the % sign by itself is %25). One option is to rewrite to a php script that does the decoding and wraps up by issuing the redirect, as in:

RewriteRule ^image\.axd /fixup.php [L]

(conditionless, I think). It shouldn't be necessary to capture anything, since the php page can still "see" the originally requested URL, query and all. Note that although this is superficially a rewrite ([L] flag alone), the rule needs to be placed among the redirects in htaccess, because this hypothetical php page will wind up by issuing a redirect; the request will never see your htaccess again.
