Posted - 06/04/2018 : 11:40:28 I want to begin the work to convert to extensionless URLs but I have a dash and a pipe as part of my product names. If I remove those, the indexed page name will change. How to I redirect old page name to new page name so I don't have broken links on Pinterest, etc. Thank you, Jan

Here is how I do it (If you already have rewrite rules in your web.config file, just add the new rules in) <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="some unique name here" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="^proddetail.asp?$" /> <conditions> <add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="^prod=old-prod-id$" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="proddetail.asp?prod=new-prod-id" appendQueryString="false" redirectType="Permanent" /> </rule> </rules> </rewrite>

This will come in handy when I need to rename a page or two, but I have 1,800 products. Does anyone else know a bulk way to change the pages without breaking links?
