Redirect one image to webpage Issue

Question

I hope everyone is well.

I am having a few issues trying to redirect an image that was linked in error from an email to a html page.

For example the email points here - https://www.caravanguard.co.uk/news/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Swift-Vogue-580-1.jpeg

But should point here - https://www.caravanguard.co.uk/news/make-mine-a-dealer-special-caravan-25644/

I have appplied the following to our .htaccess, but it does not appear to have worked. I have also done the same in the wordpress yoast plugin we use.

redirect 301 /news/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Swift-Vogue-580-1.jpeg /news/make-mine-a-dealer-special-caravan-25644/

Any ideas?

Answer 1

With your shown samples, could you please try following. Please make sure to place these rules at top of your .htaccess file. Also please do clear your browser cache before testing any URLs.

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^news/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Swift-Vogue-580-1\.jpeg/?$ /news/make-mine-a-dealer-special-caravan-25644/ [R=301,NC,L]

Answer 2

You can use a RewriteRule

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/news/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Swift-Vogue-580-1.jpeg$
RewriteRule ^.+$ /news/make-mine-a-dealer-special-caravan-25644/ [R=301]

Make sure this rule is at the top of your htaccess or before your WordPress rules.
