I need to make 301 redirection for all urls that have this kind of ending in them:
?___store=default&___from_store=com
For example:
301 FROM URL
https://www.example.com/page.html?___store=default&___from_store=com
TO:
https://www.example.com/page.html?___store=default_migrated&___from_store=com
Server has Apache in it and Magento 2 is the CMS I have running there. If more details are needed I'm happy to provide them.
You could setup a RewriteRule in apache for this. Basically you would just need to check the %{QUERY_STRING} server variable to see if it matches the query string that is exactly "?___store=default&___from_store=com" (you can change it to be a bit less strict in the matching with a regex if needed).
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^___store=default&___from_store=com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1?___store=default_migrated&___from_store=com [L,R=301]

I want to redirect from one domain to a new domain. At the same time, the URL structure has changed.
Old: https://www.olddomain.com/parentpage/oldtitle/
New: https://www.newdomain.com/newtitle
This is wordpress, and I placed this code above the Wordpress stuff, as well as tested it here: https://htaccess.madewithlove.be/
I tried this, which doesn't work:
Redirect 301 /parentpage/title https://www.newdomain.com/newtitle
Also, when testing it at https://htaccess.madewithlove.be/, I do have this redirect:
Redirect 301 /parentpage https://www.newdomain.com/parentpage
The tester would skip my preferred redirect above, and use this one, leaving me with this, which does not exist:
https://www.newdomain.com/parentpage/oldtitle
Even when I place the preferred redirect above this one. I need both, unfortunately.
Have also tried the following RewriteRules (not all at the same time)
ReWriteRule https://www.olddomain.com/parentpage/oldtitle/ https://www.newdomain.com/newtitle
ReWriteRule /parentpage/oldtitle/ https://www.newdomain.com/newtitle
ReWriteRule "https://www.olddomain.com/parentpage/oldtitle/" "https://www.newdomain.com/newtitle"
I think it has something to do with that second forward slash separating the parentpage name and page title, but I can't figure out how to fix it.
In RewriteRule it wouldn't match http or https in it, you may try following.
please make sure you clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)olddomain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/parentage/oldtitle/?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.newdomain.com/newtitle [R=301,L]
We want to redirect Below mentioned URL.
From URL:
www.example.com/itemLevelFilterPage.action?keyWordTxt=&srchTyp=CATNAV&attrFilterList=attr_brand%3A%223M%22&resultPage=0
To URL : www.example.com/4G
We wrote 301 rules in apache configuration as below.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/itemLevelFilterPage.action?keyWordTxt=&srchTyp=CATNAV&attrFilterList=attr_brand%3A%223M%22&resultPage=0 /4G [L,R=301]
But redirection is not working as expected. Any Suggestion will be highly appreciated.
mod_rewrite will not look at query strings as part of its matching, unless you specifically ask it to:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/itemLevelFilterPage\.action$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^keyWordTxt=&srchTyp=CATNAV&attrFilterList=attr_brand%3A%223M%22&resultPage=0$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/4G? [R=301,L]
The first condition makes sure we're looking at the right page, the second checks the query string, and the rule will rewrite the URL to the desired one.
The trailing question mark on the rule ensures the old query string is removed. If you're on Apache 2.4 the query string discard flag is available:
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/4G [R=301,L,QSD]
More examples here.
Website has changed its url names due to SEO reasons, e.g. it was:
/category/filter1/f00/filter2/123/filter3/100-500/filter4/36.html
now:
/category/color/red/size/big/price/100-500/style/classic.html
I know the old and new names, they're fixed. Please help me to build a rewrite rule which will result in 301 redirect from old urls to new. I did research and I see that I cannot make it using RewriteMap for example, so I ended up making something like RewriteRule (.*)filter1(.*) $1color$2 [L] etc. Not only I don't like the way it looks, but also it doesn't give me a 301 redirect.
UPDATE: Note that at the moment I have several rules, one per filter name/value, e.g.:
RewriteEngine on
# make sure it's a catalog URL, not anything else
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(category1|category2|category3|category4)
RewriteRule .* - [L]
# rewrite filter names
RewriteRule (.*)filter1(.*) $1color$2 [L]
RewriteRule (.*)filter2(.*) $1price$2 [L]
...etc...
It works as expected - changing all the names in URL, but setting R flag causes the stop on first rule and redirect to URL like:
/var/www/vhosts/site/htdocs/category/color/red/filter2/123/ etc...
I separated rules because any of filters may or may not exist in the URL. I will greatly appreciate the better solution.
Here is my own answer: it is possible to do with environment variables. We need to replace old filter names and values with new ones, and then make only one 301 redirect to new URL. Here what I've done using mod_rewrite and environment variables:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /filter1/ - [E=filters:/color/]
RewriteRule /f00[.\/] - [E=filters:%{ENV:filters}red]
RewriteRule /0f0[.\/] - [E=filters:%{ENV:filters}green]
RewriteRule /00f[.\/] - [E=filters:%{ENV:filters}blue]
RewriteRule /filter2/ - [E=filters:%{ENV:filters}/size/]
RewriteRule /123[.\/] - [E=filters:%{ENV:filters}big]
RewriteRule /32[.\/] - [E=filters:%{ENV:filters}small]
RewriteRule /filter3/([^/^\.]+) - [E=filters:/price/$1]
RewriteRule /filter4/ - [E=filters:%{ENV:filters}/style/]
RewriteRule /36[.\/] - [E=filters:%{ENV:filters}classic]
RewriteRule /37[.\/] - [E=filters:%{ENV:filters}urban]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(category1|category2|category3|category4)/
RewriteCond %{ENV:filters} !^$
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/ /$1%{ENV:filters}.html [L,R=301]
Basically, I've reformatted whole the URL in environment variable filters then checked if it's a category and not some else part of the website, and finally made redirect to this category+filters variable, appended .html at the end.
Even though the new URL looks prettier to a human, I'm not sure if there's a need to change the existing URL for SEO reasons.
To get a redirect instead of a rewrite, you must use the R|redirect flag. So your rule would look like
RewriteRule (.*)filter1(.*) $1color$2 [R,L]
But if you have multiple redirects, this might impact your SEO results negatively, see Chained 301 redirects should be avoided for SEO , but Google will follow 2 or 3 stacked redirects
Remember that ideally you shouldn’t have any stacked redirects or even a single redirect if you can help it, but if required Google will follow chained redirects
But every additional redirect will make it more likely that Google won’t follow the redirects and pass PageRank
For Google keep it to two and at a maximum three redirects if you have to
Bing may not support chained redirects at all
This means try to replace multiple filters at once
RewriteRule ^(.*)/filter1/(.*)/filter2/(.*)$ $1/color/$2/size/$3 [R,L]
and so on.
When the filters may come in an arbitrary order, you may use several rules and do a redirect at the end
RewriteRule ^(.*)filter1(.*)$ $1color$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)filter2(.*)$ $1price$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)filter3(.*)$ $1size$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteCond with REDIRECT_STATUS is there to prevent an endless loop.
When it works as it should, you may replace R with R=301. Never test with R=301.
A final note, be very careful with these experiments. I managed to kill my machine twice (it became unresponsive and I had to switch off) during tests.
Having a problem with redirect in a .htaccess file on an Opencart store.
It seems that any URL with /index.php?_route_= isn't getting redirected.
For example, this works:
redirect /old-url-here http://example.com/new-url?
This doesn't:
redirect /index.php?_route_=some-url.asp http://example.com
Any idea or suggestions as to what might get this to work?
You can't match against the query string using mod_alias' Redirect directive. You'll need to use mod_rewrite, and if you use mod_rewrite, you're probably going to want to stop using mod_alias altogether.
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} route=some-url\.asp
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://example.com/
Another thing is - apart from Jon's answer - that URLs like index.php?_route_=some-keyword are used/created only internally and only in case you have the SEO turned on. In this case, you click on a link with URL like http://yourstore.com/some-keyword and this URL is rewritten into index.php?_route_=some-keyword.
Therefore you shouldn't be creating URLs like that on your own nor try to redirect from them. If you need to redirect, catch the first SEO URL to redirect it.
We do not know where did you put your changes into the .htaccess file, but if you take a close look at this rewrite rule
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
not only you'll find out it is the last rule there, but it also has this L switch which is telling Apache server that if this rule is matched, do a URL rewrite(, attach the query string [QSA] and) stop matching other rules [L] - this is the Last one.
If you need to redirect only a specific URL, do it the same way as redirect for sitemap.xml is done (for example) and place it before the last rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
# ...
# your new rule here - while the URL in the link is http://yourstore.com/some-url.asp
RewriteRule ^some-url.aspx$ index.php?route=some-folder/some-controller [L]
# ...
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
I have a website with some areas that use https, however I'm having problems changing a few https urls to http ones. This is what I need:
change this url url
https://www.domain.com/somefile.php?PossibleGetParameters
to this:
http://www.domain.com/somefile.php?PossibleGetParameters
This is what I have on my .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(/somefile.php)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
With this condition all https urls are turned into http, and I only want this particular one to change. Is there any way to fix this?
Sure ... just remove the exclamation mark ! from second condition -- in that position it negates the rule.
The final rule will be:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/somefile.php
RewriteRule .* http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
I've simplified the rule a tiny bit (as you need it for a single URL only).
This rule may not work straight away as modern browsers do cache 301 redirects .. so browser may remember your previous attempts. Therefore clear browser caches and restart it before testing the rule (or try another browser).
