    I can’t tell you what the problem is for that specific URL, and the page you referenced contains most of the details. Does the redirect match?

    The PDF file is being served with a 200 OK status because WordPress does not manage wp-content/uploads directly. Instead, these files are served by the web server (e.g., Apache, Nginx).

    Query parameters (like utm_source) are being appended, and the redirect plugin may not recognize them as part of the URL.

    Solution

    Use Exact Match Redirect
    If you want the redirect to work with the query parameters included, ensure the redirect is set up for the exact URL:

    • URL:
      https://defittemedewerker.nl/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Vitaliteitskalender-2024.pdf?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Jouw%20Vitaliteitskalender%202025%20staat%20klaar%20om%20te%20downloaden&utm_campaign=Introductie%20Vitaliteitskalender%202025&vgo_ee=...
    • Redirect to:
      https://defittemedewerker.nl/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Vitaliteitskalender-2025.pdf

    In the Redirect Plugin:
    Use “Query Parameters” settings (if available) to match or ignore them.
