Is it possible to add a redirect into htaccess so that anyone clicking into:
"[url]https://www.fingertechrobotics.com/products.php?cat=Playable+Battle+Robot+Kits[/url]"
(which can be found in the category "[url]https://www.fingertechrobotics.com/categories.php?cat=Kits+%26+Parts[/url]")
links straight to the only product in the category:
"[url]https://www.fingertechrobotics.com/proddetail.php?prod=PBRK[/url]"

Thanks in advance!

How about something like...

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^prod=Playable%20Battle%20Robot%20Kits$
RewriteRule ^products\.php$ /proddetail.php?prod=PBRK

Have I put it in the right place? Hasn't worked here, or with it at the very bottom.

I just tried it on your site and it worked for me.
It could be you are seeing a cached version of the page. Can you try in a new browser window?

I've tried on a new browser, cleared cache in both, had two other people try it, but they don't get redirected. You're sure when you click on [url]https://www.fingertechrobotics.com/products.php?cat=Playable%20Battle%20Robot%20Kits[/url] it takes you to [url]https://www.fingertechrobotics.com/proddetail.php?prod=PBRK[/url] with no subcategory?

Hi

Visiting that first URL then clicking on the product Playable Battle Robot Kit definitely
goes to https://www.fingertechrobotics.com/proddetail.php?prod=PBRK

1818charlie - Right, so it isn't redirecting anything. You are getting to the category as normal, when I want people to be directed straight to the product.

Maybe try it this way in this format.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cat\=Playable\+Battle\+Robot\+Kits$
RewriteRule ^products\.php$ https://www.fingertechrobotics.com/proddetail.php?prod=PBRK [R=301,L]

You will need to delete this one:

RewriteRule ^\/products\.php\?cat\=Playable\+Battle\+Robot\+Kits$ "https\:\/\/www\.fingertechrobotics\.com\/proddetail\.php\?prod\=PBRK" [R=301,L]

That's done it! Thank you!

Glad I was able to help.
