    I’ve set up my first set of redirections for the site. For some reason they are having no effect at all. I’m still getting 404 messages on all the old URLs.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    I think I may have resolved the issue. I switched the URL to Exact match whereas before I had been using Contains or Starting With. It seems to work that way. Should I just avoid the ‘Starts With’ setting? Thank you

    Hello,

    The purpose of the “Start With” condition type is to check if there are matching redirection rules that start with certain words or characters.

    For example,

    If you set your Redirection rule to “test” and you have a URL https://yourdomain.com/testme, then this should match and the redirection will trigger.

    If this doesn’t apply to you, then you can use other condition types.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.
