Wildcard

I don’t know that feeds generate unique numbers, or what a feed is in this context – it doesn’t look like an RSS feed.

You can use a regular expression to match things that change:

I think it may be be wise to look into what is generating the URLs and updating that.

Hi John,

Thanks for that,

Typically, these urls are coming from sites such as pinterest and irritating visitors trying to screw with the site.

Creating a ton of 404s using unique urls each time.

If I understand you correctly, I should do this :

To stop this : https ://MYWEBSITE.com/thompson-morgan/?feed_id=19356&_unique_id=5fc2d593f1ac5

Do this : https ://MYWEBSITE.com/thompson-morgan/.*

So it goes to : https ://MYWEBSITE.com/thompson-morgan/

Is that correct?

Many Thanks

Hi John,

Tried this :

^/sweatband-sports-equipment/.*

/sweatband-sports-equipment/

Seem to be getting “redirected too many times” when going to the URL?

I’m guessing that there can only be 1 instance of :

/sweatband-sports-equipment/

Would I be correct?

Many Thanks

Hi John,

Come across another strange occurrence …

Seeing a search for :

https://www.MYSITE.com/wp-login.php?action=login&redirect_to=https://www.MYSITE.com/listing/snapfish/

So I added it as follows :

SOURCE : /wp-login.php?action=login&redirect_to=https://www.MYSITE.com/listing/snapfish/

TARGET : /snapfish/

But it goes to google?

Any idea, please?

Many Thanks

You do not need to ‘fix’ every 404, and in my opinion it’s not worth trying to solve the above.

Redirection only does what you tell it to do so. If a URL is going to Google then either you have configured Redirection to do that, or something else is redirecting it.
