XF 2.1 htaccess help

[LondonDragon]

Hi guys,

I am trying to redirect some old URLs to pages on the forum and I am getting a little stuck.

This is the old URL:

https://www.ukaps.org/index.php?page=dosing-with-dry-salts

This is the new URL:

https://www.ukaps.org/forum/pages/dosing-with-dry-salts

Any help appreciated

Many thanks

Many thanks, the issue is various pages that start with index.php?page=[page title]

Then it just redirects it as index.php and ignores this section ?page=[page title] which doesnt work then

Give this a try...

RewriteRule ^index.php?page=(.*)$ forum/pages/$1 [R=301,L]

Couldn't get it to work in the end always redirects to the home page!

Can anyone help me?

I'm trying to get old vB4 thread pages (page#2, #3, #4 etc) to redirect to XF2.1 and can't seem to get it.

Can anyone see where I'm going wrong?

First try - doesn't work

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} t=([0-9]+)&page=([0-9]+)(&|$)
RewriteRule showthread\.php$ https://www.mysite.com/threads/%1/page-%2? [R=301,L]

Second try - also doesn't work

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&|\?)t=([0-9]+)&page=([0-9]+)(&|$)
RewriteRule ^showthread\.php$ https://www.mysite.com/threads/%2/page-%3? [R=301,L]

Thanks for any assistance.

Thanks for any assistance.

Why are you not simply using the VB redirection script that's documented in the Xenforo online manual, and available in the Resources?

This is what I use for query URLs and works. Not sure about that = sign though

RewriteCond   %{REQUEST_URI}    ^/index.php$
RewriteCond   %{QUERY_STRING}   ^page=dosing-with-dry-salts$
RewriteRule   ^(.*)$ https://www.ukaps.org/forum/pages/dosing-with-dry-salts/   [R=301,L]
