301重定向：index.php

Question

I am familiar with redirecting URLs that don't have file types at the end, but not with ones that have .php at the end.

The website I'm working on has hundreds of indexed pages on Google that have this at the beginning of the url: http://example.com/index.php? with more information trailing afterwards.

An example is: http://example.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_18

The new index of the website is http://example.com/index or http://example.com

If I put http://example.com/index.php as the URL to be redirected, will it also redirect all index.php? Or do I need to put http://example.com/index.php* as the URL to be redirected or http://example.com/index.php?*?

Thank you!

Try:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/index\.php$ /

(or)

RedirectMatch 301 ^/index\.php$ /index

The query string at the end will automatically get appended.

If you're using wordpress now, you're not going to be able to use the mod_alias directive like above. You'll need to use mod_rewrite and place these rules above the wordpress rules:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+index\.php
RewriteRule ^ / [L,R=301]

(or replace the / at the end with /index)
