Based on @czerspalace ‘s tips, I seem to have created a working filter for this. I added the following function to the functions.php file in my twenty-twelve theme directory: function redirect_author_query_to_home( $query ){ if( is_author() ) { wp_redirect( home_url() ); exit; } } add_action( ‘parse_query’, ‘redirect_author_query_to_home’ );
Found that solution useful I think, this is an expensive way to replace underscores with dashes. But this works at least in my test environment. The first rule replaces dashes one by one. The second rule then removes the prefix from the requested URL. RewriteBase / # replace underscores with dashes RewriteRule (.+?)_(.+) $1-$2 [R=302,L] … Read more

Redirect based on $_GET parameters
You are getting redirected because of the automatic redirection to the canonical address of the page which is http://…. You will need to use the redirect_canonical filter https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/redirect_canonical/ to tell wordpress to not redirect for that page.

Here are three redirection plugins vetted by WordPress VIP: https://vip.wordpress.com/plugins/safe-redirect-manager/ https://vip.wordpress.com/plugins/wpcom-legacy-redirector/ https://vip.wordpress.com/plugins/external-permalinks-redux/ And here’s a link to the one I use on sites: https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/ (glance at the number of active installs 400,000+)
thanks to this link I solve the problem: Purge Old Slug Redirects
Okay, after much poking around I decided to try reinserting the redirects and it worked again! In my poking I discovered that my browser (Chrome) was caching my .htaccess page so what I was seeing was different to what was actually saved in the file. Not sure if it’s an issue with the host (Hetzner) … Read more
