Revo 2.4.2
Redirector 2.0.7

So far every .htaccess redirect technique I've tried hasn't worked so now I'm trying the Redirector add-on.

I need every child of directory1 to redirect to directory2.

Here's what I'm using in Redirector:

Pattern: ^directory1\/(.*)\/$

Target: directory2/$1/

Still no luck.

I don't use Redirector, but this pattern says that the original URL must have a slash at the end of the line. Are you sure that's what you want?
```
^directory1\/(.*)\/$
```
I'd try leaving off the \/.

In fact, I'd try this (unless directory1's name is found in other URLs you don't want to redirect):

Pattern: directory1
Target: directory2

.htaccess would be more efficient

Try this in .htaccess
```
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} directory1
RewriteRule directory1 directory2 [R=301,NC,L]
```
