 * Hi Team,
 * I have a specific scenario –
    I created a custom category say Fruit Basket. So
   the slug created was fruit-basket in the category page URL. But I want the category
   URL to be [http://www.xyz.com/fruit](http://www.xyz.com/fruit) instead of [http://www.xyz.com/fruit-basket](http://www.xyz.com/fruit-basket)
   I cannot modify the slug since there are other things mapped to the slug and 
   changing the slug would break the code. I used Redirection plugin and added a
   redirect from [http://www.xyz.com/fruit-basket](http://www.xyz.com/fruit-basket)
   to [http://www.xyz.com/fruit](http://www.xyz.com/fruit) but it shows page not
   found on [http://www.xyz.com/fruit](http://www.xyz.com/fruit)

 * Redirection is not responsible for what is shown on the target page. You will
   need to ensure it is a valid page.
