Does WordPress have an .htaccess Redirect for exact page but not query strings?

We have been trying to create a dynamic redirect for the BuddyPress message Compose page using .htaccess rules. I would like for the Compose area to be inaccessible, but when someone clicks the "Private Message" button on someone’s profile, they can still get to the page and send a message to the user.

I found this post, but I can’t get my redirect to work – htaccess redirect exact match, exclude all query strings

The Compose area redirects to the home page fine, but when a query string is added during an attempt to message the user, we are redirected to the home page, but the query string remains in the URL.

Here is what I am using:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^members/([w-]+)/messages/compose/?$ / [L,R=302]

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thank you.

    This worked for me. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

    # Redirect only when there is no query string present
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^members/([w-]+)/messages/compose/$ / [R=302,L]

    This should work for you. Remember to place the code at the top of your htaccess or before other directives .

    RewriteEngine on

#Redirect the URL to / if no query string is present
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^members/([w-]+)/messages/compose/?$ / [L,R=302]
