Redirect
-
How do I redirect this url:
Thank you for your help.
-
Normally redirects are done in the .htaccess file of your site, using a RewriteRule. Something like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^old.html$ new.htmlGoogle it and you'll find more examples.

Hi Mike - I know this already ;-).
I am asking for that special case.
But thank you for your time.

the sample code you posted comes through as a whole code fragment with unpaired tags. If you post it between curly braces it should show up better here. Are you looking for the syntax of the regular expression for your case, or something else?

Right .. sorry:
~img/head/beauty-spa.jpg%22%20width=%22114%22%20height=%2250%22%20alt=%22image%22/%3E%3C/a%3E%20%3C/div%3E%20%3Cdiv%20class=%22c0%20r%22%3E%3Ca%20href=%22/m/imgres?q=short+holiday+treatments~
I am looking for something like that:
RewriteRule ^img/head/beauty-spa.jpg(.)$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^q=short+holiday+treatments$
RewriteRule (.) /? [R=301,L]But it ain't work
-
So I think you are trying to redirect a query parameter request to your home page, right? So that this:
/m/imgres?q=short+holiday+treatments
is redirected to this:
/
Correct? If so, try this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.)short+holiday+treatments(.)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /? [R=301,L] -
Petra, did this work for you?

Hi Mike, sorry for my delayed answer (I have been on holiday in between an this means always busy time before and after... and this item was not the most important one. The problem with my mentioned redirect above has been that it worked, BUT the image itself (which is of course in use on the website) was not visible any more.
And your solution works perfect - I just tried it out. Thank you

Hi Keri, you just pushed me to go forward with that problem. Yes, Mike's suggestion works perfect!
