Is it possible to redirect a whole kirby page to another Website, but leave the Panel up?  
With my current htaccess file The panel and the loginform wont load. Do I have to include some more kirby files for it to work? I’ve thought including the panel pages and the index.php would be enough.

```
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/panel/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/panel/login
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

```

The panel calls the Kirby API so have you tried whitelisting `/api/` as well?

Ive updated my .htaccess accordingly to include all subpages of panel and api but sadly the panel still wont load up.

```
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/panel/(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/api/(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
```

I checked the Network Tab in Chrome and saw alot of blocked request.  
They all tried to access /media when adding /media to the htaccess the panel now works!

```
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/panel/(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/api/(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/media/(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
```

Great you got it working! Keep in mind that whitelisting the `media` folder will keep all your image accessible for someone who knows the URLs. That might not be very likely, but still something to consider.
