Redirecting from non-WP site

Hi cassienbeyer!

This is exactly what we wrote the plugin for… we use this plugin all the time on our customer websites to redirect old urls, like the ones you have, to the new urls.

it’s not working for me. I have no idea why. That’s why I am posting. Any thoughts?

Hi cassienbeyer!

It may be an issue with your theme, try version 1.5 which moves the hook up to before the theme is loaded.

If that still doesn’t work, then the issue would have to be due to the mod_rewrite setup on your server, unfortunately in that case it would not be possible for any plugin to override the server behavior.

Bummer. Updated and still doesn’t work. Thanks.

Sorry to hear that… You may want to check this link and make sure your mod_rewrite setup is exactly like that:

I am also using the plugin and I also have the same problem. I cannot get it to work. I put in the old url (which ends in .shtml by the way, just like the previous poster) and then it truncates the url (the old, dead link) to something like this: /folder/name.shtml

while leaving the target url as is: https://domain-name/folder/filename/

I can easily get the plugin to work by deleting the filename.shtml and just leaving https://domain-name/folder/ when is then just truncated to /folder/

But I need the specific url to redirect . . . the url that has the filename attached to the end!

One more addition: I tried the the plugin called “redirection.” No problems. Works like a charm.

Would be interesting to find out why this particular plugin doesn’t work with the .shtml filename, but ??
