301 Redirect Issue for URL with # and !

[emarketexperts]

Hi All,

We had a WIX website and now moved to Wordpress. I m having issue while doing redirecting from old URL  to new URL.

Example:

Old Url:  http://www.firsttraffic.com.au/#!traffic-management/ccfn

New Url:  http://www.firsttraffic.com.au/our-services/traffic-management/

I tried different wordpress plugin but nothing works. I m thinking its due to the # . But How can I to redirection for URL like this .

Thanks

Yes you are correct it is due to the #. Google does not index anything after the #so if you redirect to itfrom their perspective you might as well be doing nothing. The canonical tag could help. But more importantly why would you want to redirect to a URL with a #in it?

Google only sees this URL as

http://www.firsttraffic.com.au/

NOT http://www.firsttraffic.com.au/#!traffic-management/ccfn

http://www.firsttraffic.com.au/our-services/traffic-management/

you could redirect a new URL or create a substitute URL but if your redirecting is even successfully with a # in you're URL

Makes no sense what I would do is re-created or simply find a different URL to redirect offer to feel BU the homepage is the correct URL Yoast Wordpress SEO premium might be

Able to do it I know that you can do it server-side however tell me what stack you're running and I will send you the instructions on how to redirect. But know this your redirect you know if the homepage Google looks at it that way

all the best, Thomas

Thomas is correct.  You cannot redirect from an URL with a hashtag in it (although it is possible to redirect to an URL with a hastag using escape fragments).  Unfortunately, in your case it is the former, and therefore not possible.
