why is the index.php?cID=xx accessible ?
Permalink
Hello,
On a website, the pretty URL are activated, the .htaccess file is correct but when I go on mywebsite.com/index.php?cID=xx, the URL is not modified.
Why does the URL not modify itself into mywebsite.com/my-page-with-pretty-url

yes I can.
But to avoid duplicate content, I think that index.php?cID=xx must redirect on the pretty url.
I tried the tip in andrewembler.com link but it doesn't work, my website is with C5 5.5.1.

strange.
I did another test and it works ! thank you :) the "cId=xx" page URL's are updated.
in fact, it works when I'm not logged in, as Andrew says.

Glad it worked for you! It was probably some caching going on that prevented it from working the first time you tried.
