I am currently working on a website. I was not the developer but i am doing the fixes. The plugin simple 301 redirect is being used to redirect the dead site pages to the new live site. The issue is that even tho the url's for the old site is correct and so are the new ones, some of the old url's redirect properly but others are going to page not found. Any advise?

I’m having some real problems with 301 redirects in my .htaccess file.
I have about 20 pages on an old site that I need to redirect to pages on a new site. The URL structure of the new site is totally different.
Here’s one that I tried:
Redirect 301 /dan-carr-gear-list/travel-gear https://dancarrphotography.com/gear/travel/
Unfortunately, this doesn’t work.
What happens is that you get redirected to https://dancarrphotography.com/gear/travel-gear/ for some reason.
I just can’t figure it out.
I have recently moved a client's e-commerce Open Cart site from theirdomain.com to shop.theirdomain.com and replaced theirdomain.com with a standard local business wordpress site.
The move went smoothly, however there are a number of pages from the original theirdomain.com that are still indexed in Google and are displaying 404 errors obviously.
I want to add 301 redirects to these pages in the htacess file to their respective subdomain pages, but when I tried the following code, the redirect worked, but the page wouldn't load properly.
Redirect 301 /carb-caps http://shop.theirdomain.com/carb-caps
It would take me to a page like this http://shop.theirdomain.com/carb-caps?route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps&route=carb-caps
I understand that this is typical of Open Cart...
The page loads fine without the redirect in place, but as soon as I add the redirect to the htaccess file, it just doesn't load.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
My client's original site was built on Wix, and I have designed and built a new one on a new server.
I'm trying to 301 redirect some pages from the old site to their counterparts on the new one, and it doesn't seem to want to work properly, as each old URL simply goes straight to the home page.
Example case:
old URL: example.com/#!clients/c1pen
new URL: example.com/stay-with-us
I have the redirect set out like so in .htaccess:
Redirect 301 /#!clients/c1pen /stay-with-us
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Hash-location (http://someurl/#hash-location) typically adresses an anchor in a html page and is not visible to the server rewrite rules. Consequently the matcher #!clients/c1pen does never match. See 'hash' url rewrite in .htaccess
Ok sorry if this has been asked before but I could not find a working solution. I am using wordpress multisite. This is what I am trying to achieve.
Currently the domain http://mynew.com/ redirects (via my hosting co.) to one of the sites on my wordpress multisite installation as follows http://myold.com/subsite/
But I want to hide/swap the urls as follows, http://myold.com/subsite becomes http://mynew.com and all links that follow (eg. http://myold.com/subsite/another-link becomes http://mynew.com/another-link) without breaking.
I tried this in my .htaccess file which rewrote the url successfully however the links did not work and returned 404 errors.
RewriteRule ^subsite/(.+) http://mynew.com/$1 [R,L]
Hope that makes sense, thanks for your help.
Of course it will get you a 404 error, you redirected the request from the old site to the new site, but the new site does not contain the requested pages, so it through you a 404, what you need to do is to redirect from the new site back to the old site INTERNALY (that means without changing the browser address bar), but this requires your new site to work as a proxy server, see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html
I use to have a joomla site with SEF urls which are indexed in google like
example
www.mysite.com/index.php/contactme
i now have a static site and i want to 301 redirect my indexed urls to the the new one
example
www.mysite.com/contact-me.php
i have tried
Redirect 301 /index.php/contactme http://www.mysite.com/contact-me.php
but i get a internal server error. im complete novice at htaccess. i dont have the old joomla site any more only the static one
hope someone can help
Thanks
I think your redirect is correct in the .htaccess. Maybe the problem is that Google didn't crawl your site again since you changed to the static site. Check in Google webmaster tools to make sure and make a manual crawl using the tools to determine HOW Google sees your site NOW. If it shows correctly then you'll just have to give the engine some time to recrawl and reindex your site.
Hope this helps
