.htaccess getting hijacked…

    This URL is getting fed through this plugin somehow… not sure how because the htaccess file should take priority, no?

    Here’s the redirect I have in htaccess:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^podcasts\.cxr\.works\/cxrpodcasts\/feed\/podcast-feed$
    RewriteRule ^/?$ “https\:\/\/careerxroads\.blubrry\.net\/feed\/podcast\/” [R=301,L]

    for some reason though, that redirects automatically to another URL on cxr.works…

    any ideas?

    I’ve been doing custom redirects like this for my clients that need it for years and years, this is the first one that hasn’t worked and I’m pretty darn sure my syntax is perfect. The only thing that’s different here is your plugin vs other websites I’ve done redirects for.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Fixed this myself… for anyone wondering how, install the plugin “Simple 301 Redirects” and enter any redirects you want to supercede the auto 404 redirects there.

    Hello!

    I’m glad you found a way to fix the problem on your own. Just to let you know, here are few informations:

    • .htaccess rules always prime over WordPress. Which means there’s probably something wrong in your rules.
    • In fact, other manual redirection plugins (such as Redirection or Simple 301 Redirects) have the priority over WP 404 Auto Redirect to Similar Post. So manual redirections will always prime!

    Have a good day!

    Regards.
