Title: Code for Redirection Link Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Code for Redirection Link * [Matrix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matric/) * (@matric) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-for-redirection-link/) * Hi, I need two suggestion to redirect my url: * First: my old link are: [http://www.technologyandroid.com/2011/03/acer-iconia-tab-w500-comunicato-stampa.html](http://www.technologyandroid.com/2011/03/acer-iconia-tab-w500-comunicato-stampa.html) and now my link are: [http://technologyandroid.com/2011/03/acer-iconia-tab-w500-comunicato-stampa-ufficiale-e-video-preview/](http://technologyandroid.com/2011/03/acer-iconia-tab-w500-comunicato-stampa-ufficiale-e-video-preview/) * I set a Rule (and it works but I’m not sure that it’s the best choice): Source URL: /(.*)\.html$ Target URL: /$1 Regex: checked * but shouldn’t it be? Source URL: /(.*).html Target URL: /$1 Regex: checked * Second: I deactivated a plugin (Subscription for comments) because I activated Disqus and now I have a lot of 404 errors in Google Webmaster. I would try to fix the broken link with Redirection with “Redirection to URL” (I think it’s a [301 redirection](http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E301.html)). * The broken link are: [http://technologyandroid.com/comment-subscriptions?srp=11520&sra=s](http://technologyandroid.com/comment-subscriptions?srp=11520&sra=s) * The link i would to redirect is: [http://technologyandroid.com/?p=11520](http://technologyandroid.com/?p=11520) * Could someone help me, please? * Thanks a lot * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Thread Starter [Matrix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matric/) * (@matric) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-for-redirection-link/#post-2966397) * Could someone help me, please?

The backslash before the dot let’s the dot be interpreted as a simple dot. Without the backslash the dot is a placeholder for any character at that position. The $ at the end restricts redirects to links which have nothing appended (no ?param1=xyz or #section3 will be allowed). * Second: Enable checkbox ‘Regex’ Source URL: /comment-subscriptions\?srp=(\d+) Target URL: /?p=$1 I assume that the last phrase `'&sra=s'` does not change and always follows after `'srp=...'`. * See post [Unable to export CSV](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-redirection-unable-to-export-csv#post-3188934) on how to use it in an import CSV file. * [stephenhall](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stephenhall/) * (@stephenhall) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-for-redirection-link/#post-2966428) * I need to redirect wso pages to pages on a wordpress site..would I be able to use the redirection plugin to do this? * Thanks! steve * Thread Starter [Matrix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matric/) * (@matric) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-for-redirection-link/#post-2966435) * [@jochent](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jochent/) Hi, thanks you very much for the rule… :-)… * I have another question for you… Now in Google Webmaster tool I have 6 thousand errors like this: 2012/06/padfone-arrivera-a-luglio-il-nuovo-smartphone-tablet- di-asus/1345626330000/1347309190000 * or this: 2012/06/padfone-arrivera-a-luglio-il-nuovo-smartphone-tablet-di-asus/ 1345626330000/ * the correct link are only this: 2012/06/padfone-arrivera-a-luglio-il-nuovo-smartphone- tablet-di-asus/ * How could I fix the errors with redirection? * Thanks you very much… Matteo * PS Where I can find a guide how to learn the rules to use redirection? Thanks for all… 🙂 * PPS I try to use this rule: source: /(\d*)/(\d*)/(.*)/(\d*)/(\d*) target: /$ 1/$2/$3 Regex checked * is it correct? * [JochenT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jochent/) * (@jochent) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-for-redirection-link/#post-2966436) * You have set all expressions to optional (you have added a star instead of a plus). May be this is the cause of the problem. Try * source: ^(/\d+/\d+/.+?/)[\d/]+ target: $1 * This means if a sequence consisting only of digits or slashes follows immediately after the slash behind the article slug the link will be redirected. This redirection works only for articles. The first slash at the end of the text after the first two numbers (/2012/06/…text…/) is used for the identification. An adress like/ 2012/06/category/padfone-arrivera-a/1345626330000/1347309190000 will not work with this expression. You may have to experiment with this a bit. * For a source of a more simple explanation of regular expressions use Google search.
