 * So I use the regexp `^(.*)$` for redirecting all frontend URLs to another URL,
   
   but this also redirects `/admin` and `/wp/wp-admin/` as well, locking one out
   of the backend. I had to disable the plugin using `WP CLI` via shell to regain
   access. This is a roots.io Bedrock site, where the WordPress files reside in /
   wp/, it could be that the URLs to be excluded are actually hardcoded into the
   plugin instead of being determined using WordPress functions.

 * You can follow the instructions at [https://redirection.me/support/disable-redirection/](https://redirection.me/support/disable-redirection/)
   to disable redirects without disabling the plugin.
 * You will need to manually exclude any URLs you don’t want redirect using a ‘do
   nothing’ action.
