I transferred my WordPress site to static HTML website, but some other website have a link to my old WordPress site mysite.com/?page_id=1103.
I want to redirect all traffic to new URL which is mysite.com/mypage.html, but my redirect in .htaccess file doesn't work. Maybe someone can help me with the line of code in .htaccess file. I tried following but it didn't work:
Redirect 301 /?page_id=1103 http://mysite.com/mypage.html
Here is an article that answers your question:
Unfortunately, neither Redirect nor RedirectMatch allow you to specify a query string for the redirect source. It other words, the following statements are invalid and they will simply be ignored.
Redirect /page.php?id=3 http://mydomain.site/page/3
Redirect /page.php?id=4 http://mydomain.site/page/4
RedirectMatch ^/page.php?id=([0-9]*)$ http://mydomain.site/page/$1
The solution requires to change the focus from mod_alias to mod_rewrite. Here’s an example.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/page\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.site/page/%1.pdf [R=302,L]
So in your case the code should be:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page_id=1103$
RewriteRule .* http://mydomain.site/mypage.html [R=301,L]
