Can’t seem to get it to work

    I figured I’d give a plugin a go to see if it’s easier than editing the .htaccess file but I must be missing something obvious here.

    The clients new site is WordPress and their old one was just pure PHP so the structure looks something like:

    -old-page.php
    -old-page2.php
    -wp-admin
    -wp-content
    -wp-includes
    -old-page3.php

    Let’s say one of my WordPress pages has url of /newpage/

    With this plugin I tried adding /old-page.php in the ‘Request’ field and /newpage/ in the ‘Destination’ field but /old-page.php still opens. I then tried with full URL’s (so https://website.co.uk/old-page.php etc.) and still old-page.php still loads.

    If I do it the other way round however so redirect /newpage/ to /old-page.php this works fine.

    What am I missing?
