 * These haven’t worked for quite some time but after the Redirection 2.4 update
   I can create them again and these redirects are correctly shown in my dashboard
   but they do not reflect in my .htaccess
 * Even after adding Apache redirects this is what my .htaccess looks like:
 *     ```
       # Created by Redirection
       # Fri, 14 Aug 2015 06:33:42 +0000
       # Redirection  - http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/
   
       <Files .htaccess,.svn>
       order allow,deny
       deny from all
       </Files>
       Options +FollowSymlinks
   
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * Any idea what could be wrong? Its not a permission issue as I can use other plugins
   to write to .htaccess

 * I’ve just tried with version 2.4.1 and the .htaccess file is written correctly
   for me. Can you try a file somewhere just to see if it is a permissions problem?

 * Thanks for looking into it. I tried again and its not doing anything.
    I have
   created a random redirect: [http://screencast.com/t/wYGFlzxgg](http://screencast.com/t/wYGFlzxgg)
   But it doesn’t reflect in my .htaccess
 * I can use YOAST’s SEO plugin to successfully edit my .htaccess file so it can’T
   be a permission problem.
 * If nobody else is having this problem, I assume it is specific to this website
   and lets leave it at that. I don’t really need Apache redirects the normal ones
   usually do the trick for me…
