supportI’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…
