hi,

I just removed sh404sef from my site as it was creating so many problems and 404 pages, but i did have that for a couple months and had set up some 301 redirects to those new urls, now that i've removed it my site actually works again, but i do have 404 pages now from articles that were indexed in the last couple months and ones that were redirected and urls changed. I think there is a way to redirect the group of urls, as i read other similar posts on your forum, however i couldn't figure out exactly how to do it - what code to put where.

For example:

on my site this is one of the sh404urls;

intravelmag.com/in-depth/a-land-based-tour-in-the-galapagos

and this is the new url:

intravelmag.com/in-depth/610-a-land-based-tour-in-the-galapagos

so the only difference in most of them is the item id is added in the current format, but i have over 700 articles on my site, so can't change them one at a time.

1st question) how exactly would i do that in bulk?


2nd question-less important-if you have time) i also do have some custom url redirects that i've done in cpanel, for example:

www.intravelmag.com/travel-writer-contest

changed to:

www.intravelmag.com/submissions

is there any advantage of using ReDJ to do these custom redirects that i have to change one by one or should i just leave those in cpanel?

Thanks so much!

Hi,
about the second question, cpanel add a redirect rule to Apache. You could leave redirect here or oput them all together under ReDJ.

About your "pool" redirect, the 610 is the item id. With ReDJ you can take parts of source URL and put into destination using macro. In this case the item id is not present in the source URL, so I should create a macro for this.

I will check the effort and let you know as soon as possible if this can be added in the next version. Could you please, tell me if in-depth is the category or section? Also, "a-land-based-tour-in-the-galapagos" should be the alias, correct?

Best regards,
Luigi
