Sub Page Redirects not Working

    Most of my redirects aren’t working, returning page not found. I can’t discern a pattern except that simple ones are working, eg:

    Source: /news/
    Target: /communication/ works fine

    Source: /news/post-title/
    Target: /communication/2017/post-title/ doesn’t work

    Any idea what could be going wrong?
    Thanks

    From the information it’s hard to tell. Can you provide a real URL that is broken to test with?

    Thanks for the swift reply, John. I got to the bottom of the issue which I’m sure will seen obvious. The first redirect which worked:

    Source: /news/
    Target: /communication/

    had the regex button checked so was firing before the second one and directing the user to Target: /communication/post-title/ before the proper one could redirect it to Target: /communication/2017/post-title/

    Actually, I’d bulk uploaded my redirects and mistakenly set regex to true on all ~100 of them. Anyway, I’ve manually unchecked that now (a bulk edit would have been handy in this instance) and all appears to be working correctly.
