SEO Question about redirecting old bad links

    I was using Joomla for a website but recently switched over to Wordpress.

    My old URLs looked like this /index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=45

    I'm trying to use .htaccess file to redirect the old pages but it doesn't work. It just removes the index.php part of the URL and displays my Homepage.

    Should I be concerned about duplicate content? Is there a way to actually redirect these old URLs?

    Thanks for your input.
