Thanks for the lightning fast reply, John.

As noted above, we added an A record to point oldsite.com to the new site. So that should take care of routing requests. Correct? DNS has propagated.

Based on your article, I think Solution 2 seems viable. I did setup a site alias with the old domain. I’m spot checking some of these redirects and they still fail. Do the redirects need to be configured differently from Server and URL?

The above link is not Redirection. Something else is performing the redirect.

As mentioned in the first support link, you will need to have your server handle requests for the other domain. It’s not sufficient to only change the DNS.

The second link mentions problems when redirecting .php and .pdf URLs, both of which you are trying to redirect.

Thanks, John. It’s definitely your Redirection plugin. =)

That said, I was able to resolve nearly all of the redirect issues. I went with ‘URL Only’ and now oldsite.com/some-path is now going to newsite.com/some-path. Yay and derp! =)

But now oldsite.com/ is not redirecting to newsite.com/new-path.
oldsite.com/ just redirects to newsite.com/
Configured like so: https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/digisavvycdn/Redirection__Huntington_Hospital__WordPress_2020-10-02_16-24-15.jpg

That URL is being redirected, but also not with Redirection
