We just updated our site, we’ve updated the PHP version, MySQL version and updated to WP 5.0.3. We done an audit on all plugins and removed the plugins that have not been updated in some time. One plugin was used for redirects so we decided to use SmartCrawl instead.
However, only some of the redirects are working and others are not. Seems that the redirects that include “index.php” on the URL are not working, the redirect just “removes” the index from the URL and it does not redirect to the new URL. So it’s only some of the rules that are not working.
For example: https://www.mc***ts.ie/index.php?g=trade&c=1001
Should redirect to: https://www.mc***ts.ie/trade-professionals/order-online/
But instead it redirects to: https://www.mc***ts.ie/?g=trade&c=1001
I wonder would it have something to do with the last URL redirect?
