Cannot get this to redirect was created by trogladyte
Main site URL: www.digitalguarddawg.com
URL to be redirected: store.digitalguarddawg.com/home.php?cat=287

I have put in a 301 for the absolute URL to redirect to the main site URL. It sort of works. Rather than giving a 404 for the https URL I get a 404 for www.digitalguarddawg.com/home.php?cat=287. Kind of weird - I don't know how it could stitch the 2 parts together.

I tried adding a 2nd redirect from the new URL - www.digitalguarddawg.com/home.php?cat=287 - to www.digitalguarddawg.com, but that didn't work either.

Any ideas for me please?

I'm not sure what you need. If you need to redirect
store.digitalguarddawg.com/home.php?cat=287
to
www.digitalguarddawg.com
and
store.digitalguarddawg.com
is a joomla site with redj installed, then you can just create the following rule:
From URL: ^/home\.php\?cat=287$
To URL: http://www.digitalguarddawg.com/
Request only: true (checked)

This rule will work for both
http://www.digitalguarddawg.com/home.php?cat=287
and
https://www.digitalguarddawg.com/home.php?cat=287
.

Kind regards,
Luigi

Firstly, thanks, again, for such a speedy reply Luigi. In the days of non-service, it's always so refreshing to meet someone who realizes the world revolves much better when service is number 1!

Secondly, my apologies for the vagueness of my request.

Brilliant, your solution worked perfectly! I think I spot my errors in how I had it set up. I used the absolute URL store.digitalguarddawg.com/home.php?cat=287 in the From field which I think is fine, except I forgot to escape the "." and "?". PHP is NOT my strong point! I didn't think of using "^" in front either.

Thanks so much!!
