Redirection vs Paged redirections

No. A redirect is for the exact URL that you entered. If you want to match the paginated URLs then you will need to modify your redirect to also match them.

Understood, I tried the following for a similar case (Expired post and attached images within that post)

^https://www.website.com/category/expired-post-name/.*
Chose Regex and Redirected to Homepage (https://www.website.com), the outcome worked perfectly.

But I couldn’t find the options for paginated redirects looking through https://redirection.me/support/create-redirects/

That regular expression won’t work – it will match https://www.website.com/https://www.website.com/category/expired-post-name/something – you shouldn’t include the domain.

There is no option for paginated redirects. This is something you will need to handle using the regular expression.

Sorry you’re right, I did save it as ^/category/expired-post/.* omitting the domain because it was suggested in the box, that’s working fine for that redirect.

How can I go by using the regular expression then for the paginated ones?

More details about regular expressions can be found here:

You will need to create your own expression.

I finally figured it out thanks to your feedback and those 2 links:

https://redirection.me/support/redirect-regular-expressions/

Final output was:
Source: ^/directory/old-name/(.*)

Destination: /directory/new-name/$1

This basically allowed the redirection of the old name to also include the pagination towards the new name.

Thank you John for pointing it out ??

Now, how to apply those changes to ALL previous redirects… wish I knew this in advance.
