.htaccess woes

It may or may not help, but try adding a / after 386

Hi,

Check with this example:

Redirect 301 /old.php https://www.domain.com/folder/new.php

Thanks,

You need to put the FULL URL for the destination URL.

I concur with othellobloke’s post above. The “old” url consists of only the filepath within the root directory but the destination must consist of the full URL as it would be entered into a browser.

I recently had to manually update an htaccess file with a mass of 301 redirects after a static html (not WP) site redevelopment which took me an age.

Thank you for the responses!
I will try the full url in the destination.

When adding:

Redirect 301 /transparency/?p=386 https://blogs.example.com/blog/2009/07/20/welcome-to-the-organic-market-where-everything-is-fresh/

to the wp .htaccess file nothing happens. At least I no longer have a server error ??

Anybody?
