Redirect Not Working as Expected

Post by DrDave » Sun Apr 04, 2021 2:50 pm

We have a public presentation on our website, and I wanted to post in our social media, a shortcut to get to the page. I wanted to advertise (for example, in Facebook): TorontoCameraClub.com/PP2021

To get this to work, I created a new redirect, with these settings

Expired URL: https://torontocameraclub.com/PP2021

New URL: https://torontocameraclub.com/index.php ... sentations

But that's not working. Any suggestions.

1) enable SEF Rewrite to get rid of the index.php in the URLs.

https://docs.joomla.org/Enabling_Search ... (SEF)_URLs

2) Create a Menu Item that shows the article. The Menu item shall have the alias "PP2021". I think it should be "pp2021". Using uppercase in a URL is not a good idea.
