 * Hi John,
 * Would appreciate your input on this, please 🙂
 * I have been using (.*) because I have a ton of 404 with ‘SHARE%20THE%20LOVE/’
   on the end of each :
 * As an example – /holiday-cottages/SHARE%20THE%20LOVE/
 * So I use (.*) and a ton of other expressions to redirect from :
 * /holiday-cottages/SHARE%20THE%20LOVE/
 * to
 * /holiday-cottages/
 * Curiously, no matter what I do to get a redirect to work, it’s fine in incognito
   but not in regular browser tabs or not at all?
 * I also tried the following with and without REGEX :
 * ^/holiday-cottages/(.*) redirect to : /holiday-cottages/
 * /holiday-cottages/(.*) redirect to : /holiday-cottages/
 * /holiday-cottages/(*.*) redirect to : /holiday-cottages/
 * /holiday-cottages/.* redirect to : /holiday-cottages/
 * /holiday-cottages* redirect to : /holiday-cottages/
 * Appreciated 🙂

 * A redirect always works the same. There is no need to change the expression if
   it is correct. Instead you should clear your browser cache.
