How can I setup a redirect to only https://www.mywebsite.nl/ for ALL ?ber_ID’s in this (and other) categories?

I think the following should work

Source URL: ?ber_id=\d+
Regex: Checked
Target URL: /

I suspect that your requirement is too complex for the Redirection plugin and you should be using .htaccess to achieve this.

When I just tried it it worked exactly as you wanted it to.

Please post more detail of exactly what is happening and detailed examples of the old and new URLs and I will see what I can do to help with .htaccess code.

HOWEVER, this doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with the Redirection plugin that this forum is about.

I suspect that the issue is the order of the statements in the .htaccess file. Try manually moving the wordpress block to the bottom of the file.

However, I disagree with @galbaras – there is a role for .htaccess redirects and a different role for this plugin. In essence, …

I use .htaccess to do site-wide redirects (like ensuring canonical URLs e.g. must start www.) or ensuring that all requests are https, and to get rid of hacking attempts without them triggering all the WP php code and overloading the server. (Happy to share some of my .htaccess code if asked nicely.)

But I use this redirection plugin to handle all the redirects for WP content.

You probably need to use .htaccess to achieve this if you want it for all pages.

If you only want to redirect logged in users / wp-admin / login pages to https then there is a different plugin which does this.

P.S. You also need to check that all the links in the pages are converted to https to ensure you get the padlock symbol – and there is another plugin that can help with this.

Thank you for such a comprehensive answer.

If you can do a quick hack to 1.5.1 just to stop the double generation when WordPress version is >= 4.7 that would be great.

No – because I didn’t write any patches. I just ran a plugin which checks other plugins for compatibility.

Wow – what a great response.

Tried turning debugging on in MailPoet/Settings/Advanced/Geeky Options but it made no difference.

The error is returned quite quickly too. Much faster than any standard WP page.

Also all other debugging turned on – made no difference.

And tried with a massively simplified htaccess – still a 503.

I doubt it is memory because I have 256MB.

So no idea what the cause is.

It logged the 503 error. That is it.

I have a feeling there are some lines to can add to .htaccess to get more info. And I can turn debugging on at the php level. I’ll see what I can do when I next get the time.

Yes – I still have this problem. But only on the unsubscribe links – the rest of the site works great.

It could be an .htaccess configuration issue, but these usually generate a 500 error rather than a 503 error.

I have position set to “manual”, categories set to “on” and a shortcode in widgets shown at the top and bottom of every page.

For category pages, share buttons share the first post on the page and not the URL of the page.

Obviously for position set to “top” and / or “bottom”, then buttons not generated from a widget are shown for every post, in which case they should share the post they are associated with.

Please update the changelog again for 1.4.

Yes – those were the symptoms I was having.
