I am trying to figure out how to do a 301 redirect in my htaccess file to redirect some files to a new domain. Here's what I need to know how to do:
OLD URL: http://www.example.com/index.php?page=news&id=2366
NEW URL: http://www.example2.com/news.php?name=23546
The redirects don't have to be automatically created. I can hard-code the pages I need to redirect in the htaccess file, I just don't know the format to use as I've read that a "standard" 301 redirect won't work with query strings.
Basically this is what I want to do, but from my research so far it doesn't sound like it can be done this way.
redirect 301 /index.php?page=news&id=2366 http://www.example2.com/news.php?name=23546

You can use URL Redirect to forward your visitors to a specific page at the destination URL and pass values via query strings to the destination.
You changed your domain name and you want to redirect all requests to the new domain? You can create such a redirect by adding a few lines in the site's . htaccess file. To redirect with a 301 HTTP response ( Moved Permanently ), use R=[301,L] on the last line.
301 Redirect - Unmasked It is considered to be the most efficient and search engine-friendly method for webpage redirection. 301 redirects are particularly useful under the following circumstances: - You've moved your site to a new domain, and you want to make the transition as seamless as possible.
You could use a rewrite rule with a query string match condition, such as:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=news&id=2366$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example2.com/news.php?name=23546 [R=301,L]
