Question

Im trying to redirect this,

example.com/slide?page=4 to example.com/slide/issue43?page=4

But it cannot effect other URL’s like, example.com/slide/issue57?page=4

Im really stuck, these regular expressions are so weird. Here’s the rewriterule that I’ve come up with,

This is not working    
RewriteRule ^slide?page(.*)$ http://example.com/slide/issue43?page=$1 [L,R=301]

I need to target ‘slide?page=X‘ specifically and have it redirect or point to ‘slide/issue43?page=X‘

Answer 1

This should work for you:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/slide$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*) /slide/issue57?page=%1 [R=301,L]
