  • Redirection is a WordPress plugin. Your example won’t work at the moment, because the originating URL is being served from Joomla. Since Redirection needs to be serving the originating URL, you won’t be getting any redirects working.

    I am guessing you are migrating to the new site built with WordPress. In that case, you will want to attach the URL after the domain, and get that working. Then, when you change the domain over on the WordPress site, all the traffic will be redirected. So make sure to test those on the WordPress site!

    Now then, as to the actual pattern, yes, that will work with Redirections. Since you have multiple URLs for items, you’ll need to use a regex redirect rule to match the original URL, and then redirect to /shop.

    When I try to do this manually I get a 500 site wide error.

    I am not sure what that means, but if you’d like help troubleshooting your redirect rule, you’ll have to post it here (that includes the source URL, target URL, if regex is being used, and which action you are using).

    Do you need what I have in the htacess file or something else? I’d love the help!

    This is what I have that gives me an error. ww2.landonwinery.com/wp-content/Redirects 2.txt

    Is this what you need? 🙂

    sorry all you need is Permalink Finder

    cgriffis, if you are going to eventually use the WordPress site on your main domain (http://www.landonwinery.com), then the Redirection plugin (or any WordPress plugin) will work once that is in place. You won’t be able to use a WordPress plugin on the Joomla site, which is what you’ve implied you are doing.

    If you are going to keep the Joomla site in place, then you will need to use a Joomla extension, or seek help from a web developer, to get redirects working there.

    But I think you should move the WordPress site to the main domain, and then the Redirection plugin will work for you. ^_^
