[SOLVED] Almost there with 301 Redirect - But Extra ID Code is Added!

[andymontgomery]

Can someone please help me with this problem. BTW I'm using Prestashop V.1.4.0.17

I wish to redirect an old page to a new one -
The old page is HERE

I've added the following to the very end of my .htaccess which is the following:

Redirect 301 /buy/73-active.html http://www.softplanetgroup.com/buy/sound-engineering/57-made-easy-book-and-cd-rom.html

It ALMOST works - except that when it arrives at the page it adds

?id_product=73

onto the end of the URL!

This stops the correct URL displaying.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Help is much appreciated.

try adding a questionmark on to the end of the destination url like

Redirect 301 /buy/73-active.html http://www.softplanetgroup.com/buy/sound-engineering/57-made-easy-book-and-cd-rom.html?
