Hi Tom,
Thanks for your reply and very thorough explanation.
If I have understood you correctly while the links that include a string of letters dash string of letters and numbers dash string of numbers won't work, those that consist of string of letters dash string of numbers should work with:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([a-z]+)-([0-9]+)$ http://demo.wemakemagazines.co.uk/index.php?$1-$2 [NC
Therefore demo.wemakemagazines.co.uk/index.php?menu-2a-44 would result in a 404 error
but the rule would detect demo.wemakemagazines.co.uk/index.php?gifts-49 and replace with the desired demo.wemakemagazines.co.uk/gifts-49
However instead I get:
The requested URL /gifts-49 was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Any ideas? I have got rewrites to work correctly on other sites but for some reason it is not working with the instant website addon. I wonder if it has something to do with the following code in the website_init.php that comes supplied with the instant website plugin:
// modify page links for useSeoUrls
if ($website_config['useSeoUrls']) {
foreach (array_keys($categoryRecords) as $index) {
$category = &$categoryRecords[$index];
$category['_link'] = preg_replace('/index.php\//', '', $category['_link']); // remove index.php filename
$category['_link'] = preg_replace('/\/$/', '', $category['_link']); // remove trailing slash on SEO links
}
}
I appreciate your time on this - if you would prefer to move this to a paid for support request I would be happy to do so
