   Hello, thank you for looking. I have just replaced an old CMS website with a brand new WordPress solution, but am having issues with 301 redirecting the old URL to the new, SEO friendly URL's created by WP. The old URL's where are structured like:

   /index.php?p=conference_programme

   So when I do a 301 for that, it seems to collide with the line:

   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

   The last bit just seems to remove the index,php part and doesn't redirect it. The complete htaccess code is:

   # BEGIN WordPress
   
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress
   
   Redirect 301 /index.php?p=director http://www.oxfordanimalethics.com/who-we-are/director/
   Redirect 301 /index.php?p=advisers http://www.oxfordanimalethics.com/who-we-are/advisers/
   Redirect 301 /index.php?p=news http://www.oxfordanimalethics.com/about-the-centre/latest-news/

   Any help with this would be very appreciated.

   It's the ?p= part that's messing it all up. Try a Google search for: .htaccess redirect parameters

   I'll give it a go, thank you, but if you should come across a solution, i'd appreciate it.

   Try this...

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=director$ [NC]
   RewriteRule ^/index.php$ http://www.oxfordanimalethics.com/who-we-are/director/? [R=301,L]
   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=advisers$ [NC]
   RewriteRule ^/index.php$ http://www.oxfordanimalethics.com/who-we-are/advisers/? [R=301,L]
   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=news$ [NC]
   RewriteRule ^/index.php$ http://www.oxfordanimalethics.com/about-the-centre/latest-news/? [R=301,L]
   </IfModule>

   Yes, thank you, this works. Found this solution on the htaccess forum
