 * Thank you for that, it works almost perfectly. When I click on a link that would
   take me to the redirect path (members/buddypresstester/settings/notifications/)
   I am redirected correctly. But if I copy and paste this address into the address
   bar and hit enter, for some reason the redirect does not happen. Is there a setting
   that can change this so it doesn’t happen?
 * Also, how would I set the target url to the home page or an external url? When
   I type [http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com) into the target url this
   is simply appended onto the address where I currently am. Apologies if these 
   are very basic questions.

 * The dynamic part will be a username. I am trying to create redirects for some
   Buddypress urls such as:
    members/buddypresstester/settings/notifications/ part1/
   dynamic/part2/part3
 * Since the username part will always be different based on which user’s profile
   is being viewed, I would like to write a redirect rule as a regular expression
   to cater for this dynamic part.
