    Hi, we recently relaunched our site after migrating the whole site to WordPress. For some reason the wildcard redirects don’t work, do you have any solutions?

    Hi wpclee,

    Please try this format to use wildcard redirects for only subpages.
    Request:
    /*
    Destination:
    your-domain-name.com/*

    Try this format to use wildcard redirects for whole website.
    Request:
    *
    Destination:
    your-domain-name.com/*

    It will redirect all requests from old-name.com/hello to new-name.com/hello

    We’ve tried the subpage wildcard redirect, for example:

    /pages/news-and-events/*

    go to

    /events/

    which doesn’t work, but the instructions say that it should?

    You should try this:
    /pages/news-and-events/*
    go to
    https://example.com/events/*
    This is the correct format for wildcard redirects.
