Redirect None WordPress page to External Site

It is, but it depends on how your server is configured. If requests go through WordPress then Redirection will run. If requests don’t go through WordPress then Redirection won’t run.

Saying that, you can configure Redirection to save to .htaccess, and so it can run however your server is configured:

Many thanks for the quick reply.

To be honest, I hadn’t even noticed the options panel.

The path to the .htaccess file was already completed as a placeholder.
I replaced it with the same value, including .htaccess, as it specifies the full path AND filename.

I removed my redirect and re-added it, but there was no change to my .htaccess file. I’m pretty sure the permissions are OK, because WordPress, WP Rocket and Wordfence are all writing to the .htaccess file OK.

I repeated the process, but without including the .htaccess in the URL path, but it still didn’t work and just converted back to a placeholder.

Anyway, I’m not expecting you to find time to investigate further.
I understand this isn’t a premium plugin.
If you’re interested in knowing what’s going on and would like to see for yourself, I can provide logins.
If not, I’m OK with sticking to directly modifying the .htaccess file.

Are you just having problems updating the .htaccess file? I can take a look – https://redirection.me/contact/

Thanks, I’ve sent details.

The problem was caused because redirects also need to be saved into an Apache group, as described here:

That’s working great now… Many thanks for taking a look!
