Hi There,

I'm trying to set up a (I thought) simple redirect. I'm migrating a website into Joomla, and its old url structure was index?id=123. I'm trying to set up permanent redirects to the Joomla site's equivalent pages.

I created the links like this:

From URL: /index.php?id=451
To URL: {scheme}://{siteurl}/destinations/south-africa
Redirect: 301 (Moved Permanently)
Case sensitive off
Request only on
Decode URL off

This just redirects me to a Joomla 404 Article not found page. I'm guessing that Joomla is trying to load the article with id=451 instead of letting ReDJ redirect the page first, although this is just a guess.

Any ideas on how to get around this?

Thanks,
Ruggero

Hi,
you must escape the question mark in the rule (is a regular expression):

From URL: /index\.php\?id=451

After this, check the hits counter to understand if the rule matches.

Best regards,

Sei un santo, Luigi!

You know I thought of that, but I forgot to escape the dot (punto)!

Works perfectly now.

Grazie!

U're welcome,
