 * Hello all!
 * I’m using the plugin Redirection, and I’ve unfortunately come across some cases
   where we get a redirection loop.
 * For example:
 * – domain.com/user-group
    redirects properly
 * – domain.com/thank-you/user-group
    gets caught up in the above redirect, causing
   a loop.
 * Does anyone know of any way to avoid this?

 * Are you using regular expressions? If so you’ll need to adjust them to capture
   at the start or end of the URL (using ^ or $)

 * That’s what I’d love to do!
 * So how would that work?
 * When I enter “domain.com/name”, it strips out “domain.com” and the Source URL
   is written as “/name”.
 * Would I have to enter it as:
    1. ^/name 2. ^\/name 3. ^http://domain.com/name
 * Thanks! Really appreciated!

 * Yes, ^/name will only match when /name is at the start of the URL. If /name occurs
   anywhere else in the URL then it won’t match.
 * All source URLs in Redirection are relative to the site where WordPress is installed,
   so there is no need to enter [http://domain.com](http://domain.com), and it is
   removed.
