Question

I’ve rebuilt a site using a CMS and I want to make the old urls point to the new pages. I’m having trouble because the old URL looks like this: ?secc=country_club. For instance, domain.com?secc=country_club.

I would like to either have a rule for each url or have it rewrite the ?secc=country-club to just country-club

This is what I have tried, without any success:

RewriteRule ^secc-([^-]*)$ /?secc=$1 [L]

I think it has something to do with the ? in the url

Also if it helps, I am using joomla and I do have sh404sef.

Answer 1

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^secc=(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*) %1? [R,L]

This will redirect http://example.com/?secc=MYPAGE to http://example.com/MYPAGE
