 Hi Nicholas,

Not really sure if I miss something but after hours puzzling I thought to ask you.

My site uses a component that unfortunately creates double content (if you appoint 2categories to items). SEO doesn't like this so a redirect is needed. Basically the following urls display the same info and there are many more of similar form:

https://www.divemood.com/liveaboards/offers/emperor-serenity-s-best-of-maldives-19-february-2017

https://www.divemood.com/liveaboards/emperor-serenity/emperor-serenity-s-best-of-maldives-19-february-2017

So I thought piece of cake and went into your .htaccess maker and added at the end:

RewriteRule ^/offers/emperor-serenity-(.+)$ /emperor-serenity/emperor-serenity-$1 [R=301,L]

To my knowledge should work, but ... no such luck. Could something be blocking this or am I missing the point.

Sorry, new to regex and trying hard. Any hint appreciated.

John

Ciao Davide,

It works on the site you gave me but then entered the change in .htaccess maker in the box "Custom .htaccess rules at the bottom of the file" and nothing happened. Tried als in the box "Custom .htaccess rules at the top of the file", which caused my error page to appear.
Removed the line, put off cache in global, stopped Gzip compresion, put off compressing in Cpanel . . . but the error remains.

Any hint what could be the problem.

Have about 15 boats on my site, and four additional categories (offers, southern, longer, expert) so need to create 60 lines, but . . . better first get one working well. Not even sure if 301 is the solution or better canonical. Anyway, one thing at the time.

Mille grazie!

Here it is, simply . . . The one

Try Again

Still not . . . but you got me in the right direction, just had to drop the /

RewriteRule liveaboards/offers/emperor-serenity-(.+)$ liveaboards/emperor-serenity/emperor-serenity-$1 [R=301,L]


And . . . it works. Don't know why the / should not be there but, who cares, it works.

Grazie tanto per l'aiuto, sono contento!

Ciao
