  • note:

    ?/blog?/2011?/03?/(.*)
    /$1

    works fine

    but

    /blog/2011/(d*)/(.*)
    /$2

    does not

    all right, “final” post here.

    I can get all sorts of redirects working (both regular expressions and strings) EXCEPT a generic redirect from

    https://www.mysite.com/blog/11/2007/post_name/
    https://www.mysite.com/post_name/`

    Here is the code that I’m using — maybe I’m missing something?

    target: /blog/(d*)/(d*)/(.*)
    source: /$3

    Ok, with some fiddling i’ve figured out the following

    If I just want to redirect a single URL, then if I use the FULL target URL the redirect works

    e.g.

    Source URL: /blog/
    Target URL: https://www.mysite.com/news/

    works fine

    but

    Source URL: /blog/
    Target URL: /news/

    does not work

    Also note:
    if you use something like

    Source URL: /blog/(.*)
    Target URL: /$1

    that’s a regular expression and you have to check the regex box (yes, it says it in the documentation, but for those of us who have a hard time reading…)

    I hope this is helpful to others with the same “problems”

    I’m having the exact same problem as FascinantJapon:

    – WordPress 3.1.2 and v.2.2.5 installation perfect

    404 detection module a-ok

    – I’ve created a few simple redirects but i continue to get 404 errors

    – I’ve had success with other redirect plugins but really like the functionality of “block” redirection.

    I’m happy to support the plugin financially if i can get working on my server…
