    Hello,

    With Redirection plugin, I am trying to redirect an old URL with an old file (ex: /wp-content/uploads/2015/02/file1.pdf) to the new URL with the new upgraded file (ex: /wp-content/uploads/file.pdf). We want to keep both file since the old link is used in many documents, but if people use it it would lead to the new file with the new name (“insert” became “leaflet”).
    I’m doing every step properly but the redirection does not work.

    How could I make it work?

    Thank you

    Problem solved : our web server technicians made the redirections.

    Thank you.

    In one of my client sites, we do updates to PDF forms all the time, and using a different plugin, I had the same problem. Support for that plugin posted somewhere that the original PDF had to be deleted or renamed, in order for a redirect to work. They didn’t cite a reason, but I’m thinking it could be WordPress thing and not just a plugin thing, so, even though it was a different plugin, it may be helpful to one or both of you.

    As for leaving the old LINKS, we agree; they are often in places where it would be cumbersome to update. But if the URL is going to be redirected, then it shouldn’t matter if the prior version document exists (in our case, anyway).
