vers 5 results in 401 not 301

Do you have a lot of regular expressions?

I have 16000 redirects – it is from a 2018 site migration. I have attached a pic here in dropbox of how they are all set up.

The dropdown box under url options / Regex – nothing is checked off

How many regular expressions do you have?

Can you give an example of a redirect that doesn’t work?

the “pic” link above I gave is one that didnt work in ver 5. – but does on my site now because I rolled back to ver 4.92.

I dont know what you mean by regular expressions – as I said above, they are all set up the way I show in the pic

Here is an actual link

https://dogshoppe.net/product_info.php?products_id=36541
the above redirect link works in ver 4.9.2 and redirects to
https://dogshoppe.net/product/yorkshire-terrier-mail-box-cover-usa/

in ver 5 – it redirects to a 404 page

There’s not much I can do with a working link, and I would need to see a non-working one.

The redirect works for me on my test site. Maybe you can export your redirects and send them to me?

since I switched back to ver 4.9.2 – they all work again.
I have exported my redirects – where should I send it ?

You know, I am now thinking about it. I set up those redirects for a site migration for product links in Jan 2018. I have just kept them, and now its 2021 and I am looking at the links, and many of the products have since been discontinued and deleted anyway – so the redirect links are incorrect.
I am thinking that it may be more of a detriment having these redirects now… 3 years later
New products (post 2018 migration) when they are deleted, I just delete them and let them go to a 404.
Perhaps you can advise, if perhaps I should just remove the redirects now.

I can’t say whether you should delete the redirects. You have knowledge about the site, and information about whether they are used, and must use that to decide if it’s appropriate.
