A 404 should never be a redirect. A redirection status begins with 3, not with 4. You can either include the index.php (or home.php or front-page.php) in your 404.php or just remove the 404.php from your theme. Then WordPress will use the index.php.
That can be solved without WordPress per .htaccess (or whatever config file your webserver is using). Example for .htaccess: RedirectMatch Permanent /School-(.*)-Cost /School-$1/Cost
Are you using a combination of SSL (HTTPS) and non-SSL (HTTP) pages on the site? If so, you may be getting caught in a redirect loop due to some issues with either your .htaccess file, page caching or a configuration issue on your web host.
It should not have worked on apache as well. wp_head is too late to make a redirect as there is already some output sent at that point and php will not send the http headers required for the redirection. You need to hook on wp_loaded or any other hook before output actually happens.

Use below rule, RewriteEngine On # excluding www RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog # excluding wp-admin RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^wp-admin RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com/%1
OK, so here’s the solution that works for me… <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^blog/(.*) news/$1 [L,R=301] </IfModule> # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress Thanks again to @WebElaine for the input!
As far I understand, .htaccess rewrite rules are executed before the request is proccesed by WordPress, or even by PHP engine, so you can not know if a URL will trigger a 404 error in .htaccess, you can not check if a given path will trigger a 404 at that level. You need to do … Read more
Yes, you should use 301 redirects. There are quite a number of plugins that will do this. I would suggest trying a handful of different redirect plugins and seeing which one works best for your case. The main differences are that some will automatically include “/go/” at the beginning of the URL just to make … Read more
