 * Hi,
 * I want to use redirection after a change of name of the default user admin.
 * Here is my regular expression:
    URL source : ^author/admin/([a-z]*) URL cible:/
   author/XXXXX/$1 [L]
 * I try with this url : [http://blog.midi-vin.com/author/admin/page/1](http://blog.midi-vin.com/author/admin/page/1)
   
   No redirection at all.
 * Thks for your help.

 * I think you are using the syntax for Apache redirects. You should try the following,
   with regex on:
 * Source: `/author/admin/([a-z]*)`
 * Target: `/author/XXXXX/$1`
