    I have a website running and had the theme changed and our website updated recently. When it was done one of our main pages was misspelt, after a month or two I realized this and changed the URL spelling. This has lead to a 404 error every time you search the url. the problem is I am getting good traffic to this page.

    https://www.bodycleanse4life.com/buy-isageni/…/isagenix-9-day-cleanse

    I have searched the above link in my dashboard to correct the url but can’t find it.

    I have tried using a permanent redirect 301, this is not working as the incorrectly spelt page seems to be lost. When I search I still get the 404 error.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for responding.

    When people click on this url in Google

    https://www.bodycleanse4life.com/buy-isageni/…/isagenix-9-day-cleanse

    they get a 404 error on the page. I have tried to use a 301 redirect to the correct url, but it is not working, the page still shows as a 404 error, instead of redirecting to the page we want.

    Thanks

    Did you try this in your .htaccess or how do you realise the redirect?

    We have gone through the .htaccess and can see the rewrite as you have shown it. But, its is not redirecting.

    strange… works fine in my tests…

    1. Where is your .htaccess located?
    2. You can try this in your .htaccess – place it before the other rules… right after RewriteEngine On

    RewriteRule ^buy-isageni/product-paks/isagenix-9-day-cleanse$ https://www.bodycleanse4life.com/fast-track-program [R=301,L]

    my .htaccess is located in public-html file

    I will show you what I am seeing. We have 2 redirects the 1st one is working but the other not

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    
    # END WordPress
    
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bodycleanse4life\.com$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.bodycleanse4life\.com$
    RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.bodycleanse4life\.com\/isagenix\-cleanse" [R=302,L]
    
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bodycleanse4life\.com$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.bodycleanse4life\.com$
    RewriteRule ^buy\-isageni\/product\-paks\/isagenix\-9\-day\-cleanse$ "http\:\/\/www\.bodycleanse4life\.com\/isagenix\-9\-day\-cleanse" [R=301,L]

    You mean your .htaccess is in the public_html FOLDER, right?

    it’s a file on it’s own.

    What’s the REAL bad URL? You keep giving us https://www.bodycleanse4life.com/buy-isageni/.../isagenix-9-day-cleanse (see the …?) which tells us the URL format is buy-isagenu/(something)/isagenix-9-day-cleanse

    Rule 1 – ALWAYS put your WP code on the bottom.

    Rule 2 – Keep your redirects as simple as you can ??

    This:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bodycleanse4life\.com$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.bodycleanse4life\.com$
    RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.bodycleanse4life\.com\/isagenix\-cleanse" [R=302,L]

    Says ‘Any time someone comes to my domains, and goes to ANY page, send them to https://www.bodycleanse4life.com/isagenix-cleanse – Is that what you want? It would redirect EVERY page. You probably don’t want that.

    This:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bodycleanse4life\.com$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.bodycleanse4life\.com$
    RewriteRule ^buy\-isageni\/product\-paks\/isagenix\-9\-day\-cleanse$ "http\:\/\/www\.bodycleanse4life\.com\/isagenix\-9\-day\-cleanse" [R=301,L]

    Says ‘Anyone who comes to https://www.bodycleanse4life.com/buy-isageni/isagenix-9-day-cleanse goes to https://www.bodycleanse4life.com/isagenix-9-day-cleanse instead’ – Again, I don’t think that’s what you wanted.

    If you want https://www.bodycleanse4life.com/buy-isageni/isagenix-9-day-cleanse/ to go to https://www.bodycleanse4life.com/fast-track-program/ then do this:

    RewriteRule ^buy-isageni/isagenix-9-day-cleanse(.*)$ https://www.bodycleanse4life.com/fast-track-program [R=301,L]

    `

    Hi I feel we are starting to get to the issue, I apologize if my lack of knowledge has made it hard to understand.

    This

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bodycleanse4life\.com$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.bodycleanse4life\.com$
    RewriteRule ^buy\-isageni\/product\-paks\/isagenix\-9\-day\-cleanse$ “http\:\/\/www\.bodycleanse4life\.com\/isagenix\-9\-day\-cleanse” [R=301,L]

    Is exactly what I want but it is not working. I don’t know what else I need to do?

    What is the BAD url?

    Where do you want it to go?

    Don’t try and write the code ?? It’s clearly not working, and what you’re showing us is inefficient and redundant.
