[HOW TO] Redirect "index.php?route=common/home" to main page

To redirect the home URL (http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?route=common/home) to your store's main page (http://www.yoursite.com), add the following code to your .htaccess file below the RewriteBase line:
Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^route=common/home$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^POST$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}? [R=301,L]


Note that this won't change the actual links in your store, but once clicked on, they'll redirect to the main page without the "index.php?route=common/home" portion.
