Redirecttion without id was created by kalixo
Hello Experts! :)

I did some changes on my site and I found out that I have some stange links indexed.

Example of wrong link:
website.com/4958-articletitle.html
so it is:
website.com/articleID-articletitle.html
and I need to remove this "articleID" from the link. I tried to build that but I don't have this super power ;)


Ps. I will change url suffix option soon, so it will remove the ".html" suffix. Could you please help me with redirect also without suffix .html?

Thanks!

Hi,
assuming that for website.com/4958-articletitle.html the CORRECT EXISTING URL is website.com/articletitle.html and assuming that you want to match ALL URLs like website.com/XXXX-articletitle.html the rule should be the following:
From URL: ^/[0-9]+-.*\.html$
To URL: {scheme}://{siteurl}/{preg_match 2}/([0-9]+)-(.*)(\.html)/i{/preg_match}.html
Request only: true (checked)

The rule is "ready to drop .html", just change as follow:
From URL: ^/[0-9]+-.*\.html$
To URL: {scheme}://{siteurl}/{preg_match 2}/([0-9]+)-(.*)(\.html)/i{/preg_match}
Request only: true (checked)

Kind regards,
Luigi

Dear Luigi,
thank you so much for the solution! :)
Unfortunatly I realised that It won't be so ease as I thought.

My "old" links were starting as text "article-title-long-name.html"
but I've changed that to "new" links which are just numbers now (based on date): "15110401.html".

So, the correct redirect must include additional condition - I need only to redirect strings that are started by numeric string, and after it there is "-" and than "letters". So, any string which is only numeric (without "-lettes") sould be left without change.

I know it's a liitle bit mess, but is it possible?
Have a nice day!
Thanks in advance,
Kalxo.

Thank you!
It worked. Looking on my webmaster tools, I also notices that I have also a lot of 404 with similar urls:

Example of wrong link:
website.com/category/4958-articletitle.html
so it is:
website.com/category/articleID-articletitle.html

and I need to redirect it to:
website.com/category/articletitle

Given soultion doen't include that condition, so could you please add it to this, or write the second?
Thanks. A lot of thanks :)

Hi,
just create a rule for each category as follow:
From URL: ^/category/[0-9]+-.*\.html$
To URL: {scheme}://{siteurl}/category/{preg_match 2}/category/([0-9]+)-(.*)(\.html)/i{/preg_match}.html
Request only: true (checked)

Of course, replace any instance of "category" with the real category name (e.g. news).

Kind regards,
Luigi
