# AMP redirection error

 * I had once used amp on a website a long time back and then removed it after 2
   months or so. I deleted the plugin. But didnt redirect the urls. Now after seeing
   amp urls in analytics, I am trying to redirect
 * I used this code in .htaccess –
 * // Redirect AMP to non-AMP
   RewriteEngine OnRewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/amp(.*)
   $RewriteRule ^ %1/ [R=301,L]
 * But nothing happens – it remains on the same page. ie it is not redirecting to
   the non-amp version. I also tried redirecting with the redirection plugin with
   the same effect. That is url remains the same : sitename.com/?amp=1/ redirects
   to sitename.com/?amp=1/
 * When i check the amp url on a website crawler it says – the canonical tag is 
   pointing to the non-amp version.
 * Is there anything else i should do? I mean, if canonical tag is alright, should
   it be a problem.

 * Hello [@stmich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stmich/)
 * We can not guide you regarding your server redirection configuration, we will
   recommend contacting your hosting provider or expert who can guide you better
   with it.
 * You can use the mini plugins such as Redirection to create a redirection or use
   [this mini plugin](https://gist.github.com/westonruter/b7eb9cc7648b9a8b94b0015c79c8702e)
   which can redirect users from AMP to non-AMP pages, you can also ask your hosting
   provider to add a redirect rule to your server configuration.
 * It may take a few days (2-3 weeks) for Google Search Console to re-crawl your
   website and remove the AMP version of pages.
 * We hope this helps!

 * ok
 * I have a doubt; if the canonical is set, should it be an seo problem?
