I have to be missing something with 404 to 301 redirects

  • I feel like you may have filled out the redirect backwards in the plugin. That’s because when I go to the ON url version, it goes to the AT version. You want it the other way around. The fields in the 301 plugins are not interchangeable.

    Sorry, I should have been a little less literal.

    Here is a simple example.
    The OLD link
    https://www.huntersfriendresort.com/indian-rally-at-indian-point/
    The NEW link
    https://www.huntersfriendresort.com/indian-rally-on-indian-point/

    I had capitalized the long tail to emphasize the good and the bad. Try these now and you will see the 2nd works fine but the first is dead in the water still

    Please… please! Settle down. Let’s not all answer at once.

    Curious, what is your .htaccess file contents? I’ve never used those plugins but I wonder if they modify the .htaccess file that the rewrite rules were added in the wrong place and are never seen.

    I just do mine manually:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^indian-rally-at-indian-point/$ indian-rally-on-indian-point/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Otherwise, might go to the support page for whatever plugin you attempt to use.
