    @johnny5 I just ran a test where I changed the Permalink type back to plain, and opened an incognito browser, navigated to localhost:8080/test, and it 404’d. Turned it back to Post Name for permalinks, went to the same url, and the redirect worked.

    I can share any server logs that might diagnose the problem further.

    Hi,

    It is not obvious that having the default option for permalink format selected will break this plugin, as there is no explicit error message which indicates this.

    That is to say, this plugin does not work with a fresh WP install. So when you say “it is expected that your WordPress is setup correctly”, when I click the Support tab, it shows all tests as having a “Good” status. And so it would be fair to assume based on these tests that my WordPress is setup “correctly”.

    While this was a rather poor user experience, I was glad to be able to fix the problem on my own, by randomly changing a setting that I had a feeling might fix the 404 error. Sometimes you get lucky!

    I was able to solve this issue by navigating to Settings -> Permalinks and changing from the default selection (Plain) to Post Name.

    Perhaps during the setup, it can alert the user about this problem.
