We're launching a new version of our website and I need to create redirects from old pages to their new counterparts at different URLs. An example rule that I've created is
Redirect 301 /solar-energy-for-business /solar-energy/commercial-solar/
However when I visit the redirected URL it shows up in the address bar as:
https://staging.renovaenergy.com/solar-energy/commercial-solar/?it=solar-energy-for-business
We're creating these redirects for SEO purposes and they need to not have additional URL parameters being added. This line in the .htaccess file is adding the original URL as a parameter.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?it=$1 [L,QSA]
Does ProcessWire use this parameter for a purpose? What is the best way to create these redirects without this parameter?
