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”
