We need to change some categories names and I would like to know how I can add a redirect 301 to .htaccess By exemple, I need to redirect this page : https://www.lineaire.com/products/Tasses_en_c%C3%A9ramique_et_en_verre to this one : https://www.lineaire.com/products/Tasses_en_c%C3%A9ramique I try adding this code, but it don't show any effect : RewriteRule ^products/Tasses_en_céramique_et_en_verre$ /products.php?cat=63 [R=301,nc,L] RewriteRule ^products/Tasses_en_c%C3%ramique_et_en_verre$ /products.php?cat=63 [R=301,nc,L] Thanks! ---- Guy Quebec, Canada https://www.lineaire.com

Posted - 11/15/2020 : 12:46:33 Hi Guy, Give the following a try: RewriteRule ^products/Tasses_en_céramique_et_en_verre$ /products/Tasses_en_céramique? [L,R=301] A couple of important things to bear in mind: If using SEO friendly urls, make sure the code goes BEFORE the ECT url rewrite rules in htaccess. If it still doesn’t work, it may be due to the use of accents in your urls. Steve

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$ RewriteRule ^products/Tasses_en_céramique_et_en_verre$ https://www.lineaire.com/products/Tasses_en_céramique? [R=301,L] Patrick

Vince Administrator 42472 Posts	Posted - 11/16/2020 : 11:07:28 Hi Guy I've added the rule for the "Tasses en Céramique" to the .htaccess file and it seems to be working. It should hopefully serve as an example for how and where to put these rules. One thing I had to do was change the encoding of the file to UTF-8 and the file shouldn't be edited with an editor that doesn't understand UTF-8 Vince Click Here for Shopping Cart Software Click Here to sign up for our newsletter Click Here for the latest updater
Guy ECT Moderator Canada 2490 Posts	Posted - 11/16/2020 : 11:45:23 Thanks for that Vince. What editor do you suggest? I use Dreamweaver when editing the .htaccess file. ---- Guy Quebec, Canada https://www.lineaire.com
Vince Administrator 42472 Posts	Posted - 11/17/2020 : 02:24:20 Hi Guy I use an editor called Notepad++ where you can change the encoding of the file etc but I'm absolutely sure that the latest versions of DW will have this ability as UTF-8 is so widespread on the internet now.
