Redirect not working with source urls with # in it

It is impossible to have # in your source URL as this is not sent to the server. This applies to any redirect, not just those performed by Redirection.

The only way to redirect based on # is in the client using JavaScript.

Hi John,

I understand your point. Would’nt it be nice if the redirect plugin would just ignore the # and redirect the url anyway (with skipping the #xxx part)

Thank you for your answer!

Redirection does a simple comparison match of the current URL against the saved URL. Additional checks to skip a # would impact the performance of this check.

Check, thus regex the # part out and your done ??

have a great day!

Sure, and regex matches aren’t as performant as plain matches. It’s an awful lot of work and complexity just to avoid not putting a # in your URLs

Hi John,

I think you missunderstand my point. I’m totaly fine with your answer. It was ment to be like: Thank you, check I understand now ??

I was just adding that I’ve used regex to replace #xxx in my text before importing it into your plugin.

Thank you for the great work!
