    Hi,

    I place my question ones more. I tried the given instructions (@jatindevani) and they were good, but still there is something wrong.

    If I use Google and use the words “ms Jenny”, the searc engine gives me a list where I choose this URL
    https://www.kokkola.fi/tankar_2/yhteydet/fi_FI/ms_jenny_1/

    Following given instructions I put this URL for the text box “Redirect from” and as a form “/tankar_2/yhteydet/fi_FI/ms_jenny_1/”

    and then I choose the URL for the page where this information is given on our new websites. URL is https://www.visitkokkola.fi/majakkasaari-tankar/.

    This how I setting these paths, should be right, but still I get the redirection wrong to the page which is under domain kokkola.fi, not visitkokkola.fi. It goes to this URL https://www.kokkola.fi/tankar_2/yhteydet/fi_FI/ms_jenny_1/.

    Somehow @jatindevani managed to get it right, but I dont know where I do something wrong.

    My previous question:

    Hi,
    I have a problem with this Safe Redirect Manager, which is already added in our site admin. I am just a beginner with this and need help.

    I have an old page URL
    https://www.kokkola.fi/tankar_2/yhteydet/fi_FI/ms_jenny_1/

    and it should be redirect to this address
    https://www.visitkokkola.fi/majakkasaari-tankar/

    What should I write in textbox “Redirect from”? The whole old URL or just a part of it? If I check Enable regex, what happens?
    And the other text box “Redirect to” goes this new URL, right? And the whole URL with https?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hi @juhah,

    – For the Redirect from, the path should be relative to the root of this WordPress installation (or the sub-site, if you are running a multi-site).

    – You shouldn’t check the Enable regex for normal URL. Checking that box means the plugin will use Regular Expression to detect the matched redirects, only check if you’re familiar with Regular Expression.

    – Because you’re redirecting to another site, you should put the whole URL with https to the “Redirect to” field.

    Hope this helps!
