Hi All,
We recently rebuilt our site and there are a few links that people are being directed to from google and other sources that are no longer the right location. I installed ReDJ in the hope of fixing this but none of the redirects I have tried have worked so far, not sure what I am missing. I've read the documentation and watched a youtube vidoe, following the instructions carefully but still completely stuck!
The plugin has been activated and I've tried removing the cache etc. but the original page still loads normally with no redirection.
I am trying to make people who visit:
www.mywebsite.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=10&Itemid=88
Redirect to:
www.mywebsite.org.uk/index.php/vacancies/current-openings.html
Please help!

Hi,
probably you just need to escape special chars in the from field of rule (e.g. a literal ? should be specified as \?). But if you want to redirect single OLD URLs to new pages, you could also enable the "trace errors" feature in the plugin, and then manage single redirections within the error tab.
If you still have problems, post or send me at info(at)selfget.com a screenshot of your rule.
Kind regards,
Luigi
