Using a wildcard

Post by bunnellgirl »

I guess I have another question...

I changed my menu slightly and made a previously main menu section into another section:

ie. mysite.com/index.php/exploration.html moved to mysite.com/index.php/news/exploration.html

I'd like to create a wildcard for anything that was previously bookmarked or indexed by search engines to go to the main section:

ie. mysite.com/index.php/exploration/mining-exploration-march.html to mysite.com/index.php/news/exploration.html

However, since there are so many articles within the category, I would like to use a wild card like mysite.com/exploration/* and redirect it to mysite.com/news/exploration.html.

How can I accomplish this?

Hi, there is no such option :-(

Using wildcarts is not recommended for such type of redirection. It is better to solve it in .htaccess
