I have a somewhat strange problem. A client has moved their site to Wordpress. They use a service for link exchanges that has a Wordpress plugin. The issue is that the new links pages use a query string to display the correct content and I cannot figure out how to redirect the old URLs correctly.
Old URLs look like this: domain.com/link/category-name.html
The plugin makes them look like this in WP: domain.com/links/?page=category-name.html
How in the world can I get the redirect to work properly?
Here's what I have tried:
Redirect 301 /link/actors.html http://www.artisticimages.biz/links/?page=actors.html
Redirect 301 /link/actors.html http://www.artisticimages.biz/links/%3Fpage=actors.html
Redirect 301 /link/actors.html http://www.artisticimages.biz/links/\?page=actors.html
But none of those have worked. Any help is greatly appreciated!
