Apache redirect not working because of '?routestring=xxx'

[Wayne Luke]

This link works - https://thepreservescottsdale.net/vb...-of-a-director

Are you seeing something different because that is the only thing that I can see as a the route string. Can't view it on your site because it doesn't appear to be live.

I finally got it to work by trial and error. This seems to be the correct syntax (for my site):

RewriteBase /vb/

RewriteRule ^news-and-articles/news/222-video-sept-7th-open-meeting-on-removal-of-a-director forum/the-preserve-community/hoa-business/223-video-recording-of-sept-7th-2018-open-meeting [R=301,L]

Not using the leading slashes, and using the carat symbol. Also, I figured out that I needed to clear my browser cache with each new try because it was caching the .htaccess— - what a pain. Anyway, thanks for your help!

Thanks, it also works for me.
