Replace URL parameter separator with .htaccess

Question

A WP plugin is generating URLs with ? parameter separator, instead of &

Something like: https://yourdomain.com/?quiz=lesson-1-quiz-1?id=1260

Is it possible to leave first ? as it is and replace all other with & using .htaccess?

The URL should be: https://yourdomain.com/?quiz=lesson-1-quiz-1&id=1260

If you can then properly set this PHP ini parameter php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.arg-separator.output — MonkeyZeus

If you can access the plugin code then find php.net/manual/en/function.http-build-query.php and make it correct. — MonkeyZeus

With your shown samples, could you please try following. Please make sure you clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^([^?]*)\?(.*)$
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}?%1&%2 [R=301,NE,L]

You may use this rule as your topmost rule:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} (\?[^?]*)\?(\S*)\sHTTP [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}%1&%2 [L,R=302,NE]

# all other rules go below this line

Once you've tested this rule, don't forget to change 302 to 301.
