Hi. I have a lot of tags that no longer exist and I've been trying to redirect them to the index.php page.

I set up the redirection with wildcard turned on as
/tag/*
to
/
However, what happens is that the wildcard is being appended to redirection, e.g. http://thisismysite.com/tag/portland goes now to http://thisismysite.com/portland

Even when I used /index.php as the redirection, then the new url became http://thisismysite.com/index.phpportland.
