Hi Everyone,
I have been trying to work this problem out for months with no success, really hope someone here might be able to enlighten me if this can never be fixed, or if there is some way to fix it.
My problem is 301 redirects from SEO URLs to SEO URLs. It’s the problem that SEO url will allow two SEO urls to exist at the same time. Below is an example of what I mean, and what it looks like if I do a htaccess 301 re-direct.
Old URL
wiikey-xenowii-p-196.html
New URL
wiikey-mod-chip-p-196.html
SEO url does not have redirects for that old url and allows both to exist at one time, and when I do a manual 301 redirect from that old url to the new one, this is what it looks like.
New URL after being redirected from the old url with htaccess 301
wiikey-mod-chip-p-196.html?product_id=196
As you can see this creates a duplicate content problem right away. I can't redirect any of the older SEO urls to new ones as it drops the ?product_id=196 onto the url.
Really hope someone out there knows what might be the problem, it's starting to drive me nuts. :)
