Hi

I want to make a 301 redirect of this url:
https://xxxx.com/index.php?option=com_content&Itemid=130&id=13&lang=en-us&view=article

to this url:
https://xxxx.com/bb123.html

It does not work. What am I doing wrong?

What am I doing wrong?

I don't understand your question. You lalready created a redirect:

This will redirect /business-greek.html to /bb123.html. It works, I tested that.

You say you want to "redirect" the non-sef URL to /bb123.html but why would you do that? Non-sef URLs are internal URLs, used only by Joomla internally.

Do you have links indexed by Google or elsewhere with the non-sef URLs?

Anyway, you can always enable "301 redirect non-sef to SEF URLs" under the "Advanced" tab of sh404SEF configuration.

This url:
xxxx.com/business-greek.html

I cannot make it redirect to this:
xxxx.com/bb123.html

Please see screenshot.

I did it and it works!

This url:
xxxx.com/index.php?option=com_content&Itemid=130&id=13&lang=en-us&view=article

does a 301 redirect to:
xxxx.com/business-greek.html

This url:

xxxx.com/business-greek.html

I cannot make it redirect to this:

xxxx.com/bb123.html

Well then you are doing it in the wrong direction. What you have done on the screenshot is redirect /bb123.html to /business-greek.html. Just add an alias the other way around.
