                                                                        Circular URL redirection 
                                                                            I have a problem using the redirection function which results in an endless circular redirection:
 CMS Desk -> Properties -> Menu -> URL Redirect
 
 As an example:
 
 My starting point was a Blog, with a structure like:
 
 Root
 -BlogName1
 --BlogMonth1
 ---BlogPost1
 ---BlogPost2
 
 I want to change this to:
 
 Root
 -BlogsPage
 --BlogName2 (renamed from BlogName1)
 ---BlogMonth1
 ----BlogPost1
 ----BlogPost2
 
 In order that anyone already bookmarking the blog posts can still access them with the original URL, in the new structure I also created a new Menu Item that redirects to the new location:
 
 Root
 -BlogName1 (URL redirection points to BlogName2 )
 -BlogsPage
 --BlogName2
 ---BlogMonth1
 ----BlogPost1
 ----BlogPost2
 
 If in the browser, I enter:
 
 http://www.appetere.com/BlogName1.aspx  this redirects as expected to
 http://www.appetere.com/BlogsPage/BlogName2.aspx
 
 BUT! If I enter the URL to a blog post:
 
 http://www.appetere.com/BlogName1/BlogMonth1/BlogPost1.aspx
 
 this then causes an endless circular redirection, with the browser eventually reporting the error.
 
 Is there a way of configuring the redirection so that sub-directories & child pages are correctly handled?
 
 Thanks for any advice
 
 Steve
