Plugin only works when URL does not contain extension

    Your web server is handling the .php extension for you as the page still exists and is valid. WordPress and Redirection are therefore not being loaded.

    If you do really want to redirect a valid page then you’ll need to put the redirect in your .htaccess file. You can do this by exporting from Redirection, and configuring the Apache setting on the settings page.

    John,

    Thanks for your response. I had wrongly assumed Redirection would be redirect exact files such as this. I modified .htaccess earlier today and that solved my problems.

    Thanks again,
    Julian

    It will redirect files like that, but if you are using it in default mode then it needs chance to run. If your server is handling the file directly then it doesn’t have chance to run and you need to use the Apache functionality, which writes the redirects to the .htaccess file.
