 * Hi!
 * I have two very similar redirects, except for whatever reason one does work and
   the other does not.
    I tried to change the non-working one first to regexp, then
   to regexp, plus replace the leading slash to “(.*)”, just in case it was trying
   to match the whole hostname instead of relative path, but to no avail.
 * Here are screenshots of those:

 * Not working:

 * There also several other simple redirects with relative url to relative url working
   ok.
    I can’t seem to discern any pattern why this one would not work. Are there
   any extra debug options or any hints what to look at why this one would not work?
 * Thank you for great plugin!
