URL redirection isn’t working.

Your regex needs to match the whole URL, not just part of it.

Care to tell me how?
Because imho the problem isn’t the regexp part because i get a redirection, it just redirects to a wrong place

Not matching the whole URL can cause problems like this. In your example you need to match the /index.php? as well as the rest of your expression.

i don’t understand why not matching the whole url can affect how the slashes appear in the target url.

Can you please give me a working example of the url i provided?

so what i need is to redirect
example.com/index.php?page=304&lang=1
to
example.com/kauppa/

More details can be found here: https://redirection.me/support/redirect-regular-expressions/

You will need to escape the ? to \? and . to \., but otherwise it looks right.

Well hello, i don’t have ? nor . there in the settings of redirect

You have both of them here: index.php?page=304&lang=1

You don’t seem to read before you type.
I have exactly this in the settings, sir:

page=304&lang=1
(no dots, no question marks)

and the destination only has:
/kauppa/

NO dots, NO question marks

and as i said, the plugin IS actually redirecting with these settings, but the slashes are translated into %2F for some reason

If i do it like you asked:
source:
index\.php\?page=304&lang=1
destination:
/kauppa/

It does not work. It goes to
/?page=304&lang=1

You don’t seem to read before you type.

I was thinking the same thing myself. I’ve given instructions, but you seem to doubt them.

Can you show a screenshot showing your redirect in Redirection? Can you also provide a full and real URL.

i am in doubt of your instructions because i tried them and they are not working.

Just a second, i will install a test environment, and give you the screenshots and urls

well, it works totally different on the test site.
But still not as i expected.

Here is the screenshot:

the urls are:
https://redorect-not-working.14.fi/index.php?page=304&lang=1
https://redorect-not-working.14.fi/index.php?page=301&lang=1

And i’m running Chrome browser.

the page=301 redirects for some reason to /?/one
the question mark there.

I have no other plugins running on the test site.
