Welcome to the Q&A Forum

no worries Andy, I really appreciate you trying

Thanks Andy, i'll take a look.

I'm no htaccess guru, but was hoping that there was some sort of wildcard that could:
find "any product" (eg bags.html) in categories /c/123456/ and redirect to /default/bags/

i just can't get my head around it. Is there a * or ? or combination? as it would need to pick up the changing 6 digits

thanks guys.
Andy...
yes, i need the new format to be /default/category/bags.html (but the bags.html will vary with whatever the original product is).
The category has no relation to the new category. It was generated by a old cms system and seems to fluctuate.
Yes, it is a Magento shopping cart

Tom,
yes, it is .htaccess>
I have added some other 301 redirects successfully, but can't work out how to change the 6 digit category, while still making sure the end product (eg bags.html) redirects to bags.html in the new structure.

I hope that makes sense?

Thanks
Paul

Hi,

I can't work out how to make this one work and would apreciate if someone could help.
i have a series of folders from a old site that are in the structure:
/c/123456/bags.html   (the "123456" changes and is any series of 6 digit numbers), and the "bags.html" changes depending on the product.
I need that to be 301 redirected to the following format:
/default/bags/bags.html

Hi Matt,
Maybe you can help me with this one too, as it may be similar??

I have a series of folders that are in the structure:
c/123456/bags.html   (the "123456" can be any series of 6 digit numbers), and the "bags.html" can be any product
I need that to be 301 redirected to:
/default/bags/bags.html

Thanks,
Paul

Thanks Matt,
Worked perfectly.

Cheers,

Hi,

I need some help to redirect all my site as there was a folder change.

eg, the old structure was www.mysite.com/stuff-1/bags.html and I need it to go to the same structure without the "-1" eg: /stuff/bags.html
The "bags.html" will be lots of different products, so this would be a wildcard?

What would the htaccess code need to be?

Thanks

I've just deleted all his stuff from the htacess.

Should I now just do 301's for all the 404 errors that I can find?

I was hoping for a wild card (hence this guy doing it for me).
Anyone want to have a crack at doing it for me? Happy to pay a nominal fee

I think I just found it.
He's used the wrong domain name.
Only realized when I cut & pasted.

Hi,

I had a developer write a 301 wildcard for redirecting old hosted site to a new domain. Old URLS looked like   /b/2039566/1/akai.html
With varying letters & numbers.

I have 26,000 crawl errors in GWT and I can only imagine it's because this is looping?
Can anyone advise if this would be causing grief?

Thanks
Paul
