Redirection Loop. What is proper regex?
-
Hi Guys.
I need to create redirection like:
http://example.com/foo-(.*)->http://example.com/bar/foo-$1Now I use:
foo-(.*)->bar/foo-$1.But anytime it hits match
foo-test->bar/foo-test-> hits againbar/bar/foo-testetc…How could I prevent this behaviour.
For example if I will put this in htaccess:
RedirectMatch 301 ^foo-(.*)/$ /bar/foo-$1/it hits only once. The same goes withRewriteRule.

Your regex will always find and replace
foo-(.*)inbar/foo-$1, because it is there.What you are doing in the htaccess can be also done in the plugin. Try preceding your regex with a “beginning of string” token:
^, since after the first redirectbar/will be at the start of the string.
