Hi,

I’m looking for a way to catch and redirect old (as in previous site on  
the  
same domain) url’s.  
For example, a request to /kunstenaars/detail.php?.. should be 301  
redirected to /nl/kunstenaars.  
I’ve tried doing so with the .htaccess file found in the public dir of  
my  
project as well as vendor/radiant/public’s, which doesn’t seem to be  
working… Anybody know why the .htaccess changes aren’t picked up, or of  
an  
other way to accomplish this?
