Hi, I have a website where SEF URLs was activated (for a couple of months). Then, I selected all core Joomla SEO options (mod_rewrite and suffix) and my traffic dropped. On Google Webmaster Tools I can see that there are lots of URLs broken. Actually about 5 thousands.
For example: www.mysite.com/index.php/somearticle.html is not working.
But, www.mysite.com/somearticle.html is now the right URL. Can this component help me ?
Do I need to edit all the URLs or is there a way of fix for all URLs at the same time ?
Tks.

Hi,
ReDJ was made just for this problem (Google broken URL). It redirect old URLs to new ones, but the process can't be full automatic (only you know the new URL...).

To simplify the mapping REGEXP are supported so, for example, if you have N entries like this:

/catalog?page=1
/catalog?page=2
...
/catalog?page=100

You can redirect all these to the new "catalog home":

From URL: /catalog?page=
To URL: /newcatalog.html

Let me know if you need more help.

Luigi

Hi,

I also had thousands of pages to redirect. This is one awesome component that can handle this sort of problem.

Just one point though, I think a slight error in this:

You can redirect all these to the new "catalog home":



I think it should be this:

You can redirect all these to the new "catalog home":

From URL: /catalog\?page=
To URL: /newcatalog.html

My apology if I am wrong.

Correct,
you are right. Even backslash before question mark is necessary to specify a "literally" question mark (not in REGEXP sense).
