 * Hello,
 * I was following this tutorial from your plugin: [https://redirection.me/support/redirect-regular-expressions/](https://redirection.me/support/redirect-regular-expressions/)
   and created a redirect from all pages that had /fuellen-erwachsene-2/ parent 
   slug to /fuellen-erwachsene/ parent slug,^/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene-2/(.*) like
   so:
 * ^/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene-2/(.*)
    -> /ideen/fuellen-erwachsene/$1
 * Now, when I try to access the page /ideen/fuellen-erwachsene-2/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/
   I’ve got “TOO MANY REDIRECTS” issue.
 * Could you please help?

 * [@johnny5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnny5/) , It’s [https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene-2/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/](https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene-2/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/).
   When you check this in the [http://www.redirect-checker.org/index.php](http://www.redirect-checker.org/index.php)
   tool, you can see the redirects. The URL should be: [https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/](https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/)

 * That URL is returning a 404 for me?

 * Yes, I’m not sure why it goes to 404 on the website. This page: [https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene-2/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/](https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene-2/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/)
   doesn’t exist, but this: [https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/](https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/)
   does, but redirects back to [https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene-2/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/](https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene-2/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/)
 * When I check in redirects checker both links produce “Too many redirects” for
   me. I also disabled the regex redirect at the moment.

 * I’m a little confused.
 * I thought you are trying to redirect [https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene-2/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/](https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene-2/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/)(
   with the 2) to [https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/](https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/)(
   without the 2)?
 * However when I access [https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/](https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/)(
   without the 2) I see it is redirecting to [https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene-2/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/](https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene-2/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/)(
   with the 2)
 * If you have disabled a rule that redirects from [https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene-2/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/](https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene-2/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/)
   to [https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/](https://www.mein-adventskalender.de/ideen/fuellen-erwachsene/gibt-es-den-weihnachtsmann/)
   then you have a loop.

 * [@johnny5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnny5/) , you’re right. There
   was another redirect setup that caused this loop. Thanks for the help!
