Unable to make redirects work

    I seem to be unable to get this to work at all. I want to change my site’s permalink structure from plain to post name. This is a dev site, so I’m okay with taking the time and effort to make this work before making it live. Before installing a plugin, I changed the permalink structure. Despite all of my pages having the changed permalinks, going directly to those new URLs results in 404s. So I installed this plugin.

    1. Enabled plugin.
    2. Add redirects from the new URL directly to the page. (example: https://sitename.xyz/gallery -> select “page” from drop-down and then select the page.)
    3. Still get a 404.

    What am I missing?

    If you create a new post how does the permalink look like and does it work?

    When I create a new page, I can see that the permalink matches the new permalink setting, but it does not work.

    Maybe it was a typo but you said “Add redirects from the new URL directly to the page” but it should be from the old URL to the page.

    I tried that too with no success.

    Well. Turned out AllowOverride was set to none. I didn’t think to check that because I normally set that to all when I first set up a server. Thanks for taking the time to reply – all good now.
