Redirecting dynamic urls

    I migrated from Joomla to wordpress. In Joomla I had a lot of PR5 pages, because I do not want to loose ranking I would like to redirect them.

    I tried
    Rediret 301 www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5&Itemid=7 www.mysite.com/newpage/

    But I then get an internal server error. So I tried

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5&Itemid=7$ http://www.mysite.com/newpage/

    This doesnot seem to do anything, but also does not give a 404 page error.

    Does anyone know how to redirect such dynamic urls to wordpress?

    I’m looking for a solution to this too – does anyone out their know the answer?

    I used 301 redirects in my .htaccess file, but they just end up at the homepage instead of the page that I want to redirect them too…

    Your redirect format was incorrect:

    Redirect 301 /index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5&Itemid=7 http://www.mysite.com/newpage1

Redirect 301 /index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3&Itemid=8 http://www.mysite.com/newpage2

    I also have things like this:

    # Redirect for Moved pages
RewriteRule ^images(.*)$ http://content.mysite.net/images/$1        [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^code(.*)$ http://content.mysite.net/code/$1            [L,R=301]
