Can’t seem to get it to work

    I have installed the plugin on my WAMP localhost development server, and added one redirection as follows :

    ^/store-locator/new-store-openings/.*

    redirect to /store-locator

    Regex is added. When I browse to /store-locator/new-store-openings/ and any trailing URL I get error 404. I have forced refresh and have no caching plugins. What am I missing?

    EDIT : I have also tried disabling all other plugins and trying a simple redirect without regex, same result.

    Here’s a link to a screenshot of the redirects I have set up. Both return 404. The target URLS are valid pages.

    It’s hard to test something on your local server. Your redirect appears correct. Have you cleared your browser cache?

    Yes, I have done that several times, still no luck

    The problem is likely somewhere with your local server setup. As this is not something I can access it becomes difficult to track down further. Have you tried the same redirects on a live server? Is there anything special about your setup? Are you using the default theme? Is your WordPress site health ok?

    I tried the plugin on a separate live site and it works, I will need to diagnose further and check localhost settings. I’ll report back to assist anyone else who might have the same problem – thank-you.

    So I deleted and re-installed the plugin and it suddenly works… so perhaps something was wrong when it configured itself the first time around. Thanks for your help.
