Question

I successfully mass migrated a WordPress site to Drupal. Unfortunately in WordPress, the content URL’s were something like http://www.example.org/?p=123. My domain is still the same, but I want to do a redirect via htaccess as Drupal will not allow URL’s to be http://www.example.org/?p=123. In other words, the content does not have the same URL as it did in WordPress. For example, the new Drupal URL would be something like www.example.org/content/MyNewPage

I tried this in my .htaccess file and it does not work

Redirect 301 /\?p=375 http://www.example.org/content/MyNewPage

So I tried the below, but it does not work either.

Redirect 301 /\?p\=375 http://www.example.org/content/MyNewPage

Just as a test, I tried the below and it worked.

Redirect 301 http://www.example.org http://www.google.com

I made sure that my Redirect rule is at the top of the list in my .htaccess so it will be evaluated first. How do I fix this?

Answer 1

neither Redirect nor RedirectMatch allow you to specify a query string for the redirect source.

You have to use mod-rewrite for redirecting based on query string:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}  ^p=375$
RewriteRule (.*)  http://www.example.org/content/MyNewPage?  [R=301,L]
