Welcome to the Q&A Forum

As this URL in particular had a .html extension I thought it was easier to just create a html file and redirect it, so this one is working. But I still would like to know if i had done anything wrong because it didn't work. As most of our URLs don't have a .html extension it would be helpful to create the redirects on .htaccess

I just created a .html file for one of the URLs that had this extension thought the system doesn't generate htmls and it worked! Now I need to find a solution to the URLs that don't have an extension...

Hi, thanks for your help. The problem with this is that I don't have access to individual pages, the system will load it from the database. I think a .htaccess redirect would be the best solution, the problem is that I don't really know how to do it and how to write a redirect that would work.

Best regards

I have tried it but still no luck, I might have done something wrong though.

I need to urgently redirect http://www.personal-products.co.uk/pvc-cosmetic-bag-1.html to http://personal-products.co.uk/resealable-cosmetic-bags---white (I will change this URL in the future too but need it working now...)

I have tried it like this:

RewriteRule ^pvc-cosmetic-bag-1.html /resealable-cosmetic-bags---white [R=301,L]

Is there anything wrong?

Thanks!

Thanks for your help!

The example would be the same as the one above, do you know what is the best way to do it??

http://personal-products.co.uk/overnight-toiletry-packs.html -> our current url

we have optimized this page to "toiletry travel bags" so i want the url to look something like this:

http://personal-products.co.uk/toiletry-travel-bags

Thanks.. I got that far, but I tried few different 301 redirects and it didn't work.

One example would be this:

http://personal-products.co.uk/overnight-toiletry-packs.html -> our current url

we have optimized this page to "toiletry travel bags" so i want the url to look something like this:

http://personal-products.co.uk/toiletry-travel-bags

I can change the URL manually but I need to create a 301 redirect. Do you have any idea how I can do it? As we use a coldfusion website, the pages don't actually exist, they are all on the database.

i had tried few methods I found on google but no luck =[

We are trying to optimize our website for search engines and one of the things we have noticed that needs to be changed are the URLs. I know how to modify the URLs but have no idea how I can get the old redirected to the new ones using 301. We have some pages ranking pretty high on Google and we can't loose this traffic.

Our website is hosted on Plesk and it was coded using Cold Fusion. I do have access to the .htaccess file.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
