Fingertech Advanced Member Canada 318 Posts	Posted - 12/06/2020 : 22:46:55 Is it possible to add a redirect into htaccess so that anyone clicking into: "https://www.fingertechrobotics.com/products.php?cat=Playable Battle Robot Kits" (which can be found in the category "https://www.fingertechrobotics.com/categories.php?cat=Kits %26 Parts") links straight to the only product in the category: "https://www.fingertechrobotics.com/proddetail.php?prod=PBRK" Thanks in advance!
Vince Administrator 42965 Posts	Posted - 12/07/2020 : 02:35:26 How about something like... RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^prod=Playable%20Battle%20Robot%20Kits$ RewriteRule ^products\.php$ /proddetail.php?prod=PBRK Vince Click Here for Shopping Cart Software Click Here to sign up for our newsletter Click Here for the latest updater

Vince Administrator 42965 Posts	Posted - 12/08/2020 : 00:48:18 I just tried it on your site and it worked for me. It could be you are seeing a cached version of the page. Can you try in a new browser window? Vince Click Here for Shopping Cart Software Click Here to sign up for our newsletter Click Here for the latest updater
Fingertech Advanced Member Canada 318 Posts	Posted - 12/08/2020 : 13:32:50 I've tried on a new browser, cleared cache in both, had two other people try it, but they don't get redirected. You're sure when you click on https://www.fingertechrobotics.com/products.php?cat=Playable%20Battle%20Robot%20Kits it takes you to https://www.fingertechrobotics.com/proddetail.php?prod=PBRK with no subcategory?

Fingertech Advanced Member Canada 318 Posts	Posted - 12/08/2020 : 17:05:06 1818charlie - Right, so it isn't redirecting anything. You are getting to the category as normal, when I want people to be directed straight to the product.
midvalleydrifter001 Ecommerce Template Expert USA 946 Posts	Posted - 12/08/2020 : 20:42:23 Maybe try it this way in this format. RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cat\=Playable\+Battle\+Robot\+Kits$ RewriteRule ^products\.php$ https://www.fingertechrobotics.com/proddetail.php?prod=PBRK [R=301,L] You will need to delete this one: RewriteRule ^\/products\.php\?cat\=Playable\+Battle\+Robot\+Kits$ "https\:\/\/www\.fingertechrobotics\.com\/proddetail\.php\?prod\=PBRK" [R=301,L] Edited by - midvalleydrifter001 on 12/08/2020 20:44:32
