Hi Paul,

I'm renaming some categories and I've added a redirect 301 to the htaccess but the url comes out not friendly

Here is what I'm doing

I have a category CARS at http://www.photographydirectory.org/photographers/cars/
I've renamed it CAR PHOTOGRAPHY and the new url is www.photographydirectory.or...ographers/car-photography/

Then I've added to the htaccess the following:
Redirect 301 /photographers/cars/ www.photographydirectory.or...ographers/car-photography/

It works but the url appear as
www.photographydirectory.or...atname=photographers/cars/

I need to remove the ?rewritten=1&action=displaycat&catname=photographers/cars/ from the url
How can I do?

A 301 redirect means you want the destination in the URL instead of using real rewriting. You're choosing to do redirects instead of rewrites.
