Unexpected page loading when attempting to create redirect or alter aliasing rules

When investigating pages the site might appear to be bringing users to templates that are not configured within the folder or template automatic aliasing rules. Further when entering a redirect the page may still bring users to an unexpected page.

Regex aliasing is a method for predicatively creating aliases for items. If a URL redirect entered through the workarea matches a regex expression the redirect would not take place.

Regex aliasing is a method of automatic aliasing that predicts a pattern of an alias and automatically redirects users to a relevant page. Since regex aliasing requires the development of a regex expression this type of aliasing can often be overlooked when troubleshooting.

To disable a regex aliasing navigate to settings > configuration > URL aliasing > automatic aliasing > regex. Then click edit list, uncheck the active checkbox, and click save list.
