Which element are you inspecting? I can’t find that in the interface.
For debugging, have you tried adding redirects in a different browser? And by typing it out, as opposed to copying and pasting?

In reply to: [Redirection] Links to images not working, became dead linksI doubt it is the Redirections plugin. Have you checked to see if those images exist on the server? From the look of it, those images are just missing from the file system on the server (or maybe the permissions are set incorrectly).
You can check if a redirect is happening by checking the log (
/wp-admin/tools.php?page=redirection.php&sub=log), and seaching forjpg(or another file type). I am pretty sure you won’t find anything, though.Forum: Plugins

In reply to: [Redirection] Redirect Month & Name Permalink to Category & NameHiya! I was about to break this down, but then I noticed you permalink structure and I am gonna recommend you not use category in the permalink.
In my experience, it becomes a bad idea in the long run, such as when you want to change the name of a category, or you put a post in multiple categories. It would be better to have just the postname. I am guessing you took the date info out because recipes are timeless, but you didn’t want people to think it was old by seeing when it was posted, or something along those lines.
That aside, you can’t use regex to guess the category of the new posts, so you can’t use a pattern there. There is no way for Redirection to know what the new category will be, so you’ll have to create links manually for each one. Another reason to drop the category from the permalink. ^_^

In reply to: [Redirection] RegEx Help PleaseIf that is the only redirect you need, consider using 404 to Start.
Otherwise, you can try this pattern, with regex turned on:
Source:
/fabrics/(.*)Target:

In reply to: [Redirection] Disable logsThis plugin keeps logs separately from other parts of your server. You can turn them off (there are Redirect Logs and 404 Logs) by setting the “time to keep logs for” to “No logs” on the Options tab.
It will not affect your redirects.

In reply to: [Redirection] does this work in sub-directory?That page in the Codex refers to a bunch of possible configurations, but the good news is it is easy to figure out what you need to do with this plugin.
If your root site is still going to WordPress (when you go to example.com, it is WordPress creating the page), then you can use it as usual.
If your root site is not WordPress (when you go to example.com, and something besides WordPress creates that page), then you need to use a differnet method to redirect those hits to WordPress. This isn’t that hard, search for “domain redirects” or something like that, and you will find documentation on redirecting traffic, depending on your web server (Apache is common).
I don’t know what you are building, but I do know that I probably wouldn’t put WordPress in a sub-directory. Not because it is technically wrong or anything, just that WordPress can do most of what any web page can do on the full domain (i.e. example.com), and after a while most folks end up moving it there anyhow.

In reply to: [Redirection] In need of regular expression of Source URL & Target URLTry this with regex turned on:
/Download-(.*)/.*/->/$1And of course make sure your permalinks are set appropriately. This will redirect the olds URLs to the new ones, but the permalinks have to be set to %postname% first.

In reply to: [Redirection] Ghost redirectionAre you sure it is this plugin? Maybe it is the canonical URL feature in WordPress. Try turning off Redirection, and other plugins, and see if it still happens. If it only happens with Redirection on, then post back with the URLs.

In reply to: [Redirection] WHEN to re-direct, before or after migration?It depends on how the redirects are created. If they are relative, it is probably okay, since they won’t get in your way while you are developing.
When I migrate from a non-WordPress site that has different URL patterns, I test out some broad patterns to make sure that they at least get turned into search terms, and then I watch the 404s for the first few days, creating new patterns to catch outliers.
For instance, a recent book site I migrated had URLs like
/book.php?isbn=123456789. I turned that into a regex redirect:/book.php\?isbn=(.*)=>/\?s=$1Now, all those old links search the site for the ISBN, and they normally find one entry.
So to answer your question, it depends, and in practice I set some up before launch, and then follow up with more based on traffic patterns.

In reply to: [Redirection] Redirect 404sThere is a plugin called 404 to Start that does exactly that.

In reply to: [Redirection] Can not Import 301 redirects.You can go to
/wp-admin/tools.php?page=redirection.php&sub=modules, the module tab, and there are links to export the CSV and .htaccess for existing redirections. Create a couple if you don’t have any yet, and then download the CSV to see the format.If you have too many redirects, then you can break them down into smaller CSV files, and import them in small chunks; it is likely your server is timing out with a large text file like that.
