Regex appears to not work…

    I’m attempting to redirect pages like “/calendar/any-sequence-of-characters” to “/events/” using the regex: /calendar/.*

    This doesn’t seem to be working. As an example, “/calendar/month.calendar/2020/08/08/46.html” fails to redirect at all.

    What am I missing?

    John, thanks for the lightning fast response!

    It’s not browser cache, as I have tested clearing that and get the same null result.

    It’s not server cache, as that is disabled.

    I also don’t think it’s due to the .html file type being otherwise redirected as I can access the WordPress “readme.html” that is included in every WordPress install.

    Any other ideas? This isn’t critical, but it sure would help to make a cleaner transition from a Joomla-based site to a WordPress-based site I’m currently working on…

    Thanks!

    The fact you can access a .html just shows your server is set up to handle them. It is almost certainly the cause of why you can’t redirect it.

    Argh, I’m an idiot…
