Note that the source URL should always begin with a slash, it is the full URL following the domain name. For example if we want to redirect https://www.pmichapter.com/some-page to https://www.pmichater.com/some-other-page, we would put "/some-page" in the source URL and "/some-other-page" in the target URL. If the target URL is on another website, you can put the full URL in this field only.
