    Hi,

    I've got a blog using wordpress and I've just renamed a page from "about" to "football-lookalikes" and I added the following line to my .HTACCESS file and uploaded it:

    Redirect 301 about/ http://footyblog.net/football-lookalikes/

    However when I visit http://footyblog.net/about/ it says that that page doesn't exist (it isn't re-directing me).


    Any idea why this redirect isn't working?



    Thanks for any help
