Issues when switching a mobile-enabled site to responsive

[AbleMods]

We have a client site who has been using the old /mobile/ way for mobile pages in Gold.

Now with the upgrade to R11, the client is fully responsive and the mobile feature has been turned off.

However, any Google search results that click to a mobile page get forcibly redirected to the site home page. If the link is valid, but mobile is just not enabled, the shopper should get redirected to the standard product page. Certainly not the home page. That gives the shopper the impression the product doesn't exist. Who knows what Google thinks about it, but it can't be good.

Is there any way in full source code or otherwise to alter this behavior? We have thousands of mobile links in SEO and the products are perfectly valid. But the Able handler is forcing them to 301 to the home page instead of routing to the standard product page.

Our next route is to create a rewrite rule, but I'd really like to avoid that if possible.

Hi Joe,

This would be best handled with a dynamic redirect, but we'll get it reported to see if there is something we can do. But the iis re-writer is very fast and likely the best approach.

We tried it with the Able dynamic redirect, it didn't work. I'm thinking the decision to ignore /mobile/ occurs before the redirect can be processed.

We're looking into this. Ref. AC8-3040

IIS Rewrite seems to be working well, I just set it up and tested. So I think we are ok for now. Thanks for looking into a more integrated solution.
