Question

On my WordPress blog, I used to have a plugin that I no longer need. The plugin used to create a bunch of URLs that looked like this:

http://tambnguyen.com/manage-subscriptions?srp=532&sra=s

with the postID being 532. How do I redirect the query strings so that the above URL will redirected to:

http://tambnguyen.com/?p=532

I’ve tried a few method without any luck (there’s an optional “/” after “manage-subscriptions”

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RedirectMatch 301 ^/manage-subscriptions/?\?srp=(\d{1,5})(.*)$ http://tambnguyen.com/\?p=$1
</IfModule>

Please help. Thanks!

Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^srp=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^manage-subscriptions/?$ /?p=%1 [L,R=301,NC]
