[andrei2987]

hi,

how can i redirect my old category to my new category with .htaccess?

https://mysite/oldcategory
to
https://mysite/newcategory

my .htaccess now is like this:

Code: [Select]

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

Code: [Select]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?yoursite.com$
 RewriteRule ^oldcategory/(.*)$ https://yoursite.com/newcategory/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]

[andrei2987]

Code: [Select]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?yoursite.com$
 RewriteRule ^oldcategory/(.*)$ https://yoursite.com/newcategory/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]

hi marius,

thank you for reply

code is not working!

This is the way you used it?
I copied from my website and in my case it works fine.

Code: [Select]

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?yoursite.com$
RewriteRule ^oldcategory/(.*)$ https://yoursite.com/newcategory/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]

</IfModule>
Ps.
Only that osclass gas the termination for categories "_id".
Ah no, only for items.

[andrei2987]

Yes, that's how I used it

...I don't know then... this is how I redirected a renamed subdomain.

Have you tried:

Code: [Select]

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?yoursite.com$
RewriteRule ^oldcategory/(.*)$ https://yoursite.com/newcategory/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>
?

[andrei2987]

yes marius is work

I also found this solution

Code: [Select]

RewriteRule ^oldcat(/.*|)$ /newcat/$1 [R=301,L,NC]
use like this

Code: [Select]

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

RewriteRule ^oldcat(/.*|)$ /newcat/$1 [R=301,L,NC]

</IfModule>
I do not know what's the difference but it works with both

I think the first time was a cache issue

thank you marius for your time.

[marius-ciclistu]

I'm glad to help:)

PS. My solution has a wildcard and redirects for example
site.com/category/item_i40 to
site.com/newcategory/item_i40
with that QSA.
