: How can I redirect old WordPress URL (with a query string) to new URL using .htaccess? I transferred my WordPress site to static HTML website, but some other website have a link to my old

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 mydomain.site/page/3 Redirect /page.php?id=4 mydomain.site/page/4
RedirectMatch ^/page.php?id=([0-9]*)$ mydomain.site/page/


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 ^(.*)$ 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 .* mydomain.site/mypage.html [R=301,L]
