 * What do you mean by redirect template?
 * Have you cleared your cache? Is it a 404? If everything is correct then it will
   redirect, otherwise it won’t and you’ll need to track down what is different 
   on your site to affect it.

 * I set if a product was 404, Redirected to the relevant category.
    my site have
   20 different categories and we made 20 redirects similar to what I posted before.
   But only one of the redirects working. The one whose priority is 0. Only the 
   redirect works if we assign zero priority to it. And the rest of the redirects,
   which have a lower priority, do not work at all.
 * Yes, we cleared the cache.
    We disabled plugins. We tried with different browsers.

 * It should be noted: if the priority of the redirect that we created is greater
   than 0, the address that is 404 will not be displayed at all in the 404 log section.

 * Priority will have no impact on this.
 * Can you give an example real URL of something that isn’t working and a screenshot
   of the settings used for that URL?
