big problem with wildcards working

    On my old site I have lots of (duplicate) pages that need to point to just one page on the new site e.g.

    /product/126/109/clearance-maternity-tankini-by-emma-jane
    /product/126/162/clearance-maternity-tankini-by-emma-jane

    I want everything that has
    /product/126 in the address
    to redirect to
    /shop/maternity-tankini-by-emma-jane/

    I’ve tried to set up wildcards like this
    /product/126/*
    /product/126/.*
    and this
    /product/126/(.*)

    but none of them seem to re-direct. I don’t understand what’s going wrong as my other standard 301’s seem fine in this plug-in. Can any one help? Please?

    Thanks
    Leigh

    I win the prize for biggest idiot

    /product/126/*

    works perfectly well IF you have enough brains to find the ‘use wildcard’ tickbox at the very bottom of the list of 301s.

    Sorry! But perhaps this will help someone else in future!
