Resolve Error 404 When a Query String is Added to a URL Redirect

Users may encounter a 404 query string error when creating a URL redirect.

Since wildcards are now supported in 2014.1, the asterisk(*) character may now be added to the Redirect Setup.

Solution

1. Navigate to Commerce > Hosting > Redirects
2. Redirect: Click Edit
3. Change Redirect details:

• Protocol: http://
• Domain: www.yourdomain.com
• Redirect from URL: /Item*
• Redirect to URL: http://www.yourdomain.com/Item_WebStore

4.Click Save

This time, the URL http://www.yourdomain.com/Item?test=1 will now redirect to http://www.yourdomain.com/Item_WebStore?test=1.
