Two months ago we completely changes our very large website when upgrading to Joomla 2.5.
We moved about 3000 articles into completely new categories!
One problem is that we had multiple other organisations and other websites linking to our content and of course those links aren't available.
I have tried several times to do category redirects but they never seem to work.
It could also be caused by the fact that e changed all the menu's as well!
I give you an example of a typical problem.
www.asafeworldforwomen.org/partners-in-africa/partners-in-cameroon/wfac/wfac-buea-updates/625-wfac-buea-world-health-day.html
has moved to
www.asafeworldforwomen.org/fp-cameroon/wfacc/wfacc-news/4003-wfac-buea-world-health-day.html

Essentially what we need to do in this case is to create a redirect of every article in from here:

/partners-in-africa/partners-in-cameroon/wfac/wfac-buea-updates
to go to here:
/fp-cameroon/wfacc/wfacc-news

And I have no idea how to do this!
And we have multiple cases of this all over the site!

Can you advise!

Thanks so much

First I want to thank you for your amazingly quick response and over a weekend too!
Yes I thought this was more complex than a simple redirect as I wrote the question to you!

I guess from what you are saying is that because every ID has changed then it woudl almost have to be an individual macro for each item?

In which case better to just do a normal one-on-one Redirect?

On the other hand if we could manage to at least get people to land on the right menu it might be better than nothing.

So would it be possible to ignore the actual individual article for now! And have a normal category redirect which would simple redirect the viewer to the menu item where all the articles are now stored

ie not a category redirect but a menu redirect?

For instance to have a redirect which points any articles in the old menu to the new menu.

In 'old language' anything in /partners-in-africa/partners-in-cameroon/wfac/wfac-buea-updates/
now goes to...
/fp-cameroon/wfacc/wfacc-news

Or is it still the same problem?

Thanks so much

Andrew
