Hmm… Couldn’t get it to work… But then I found out something strange - it seems that Chrome caches redirects? Because when I changed browser then it seems to work… investigating some more…

OK! Figured it out.

If the topic is in a private / non-public category, then redirects seem to be “stopped”. When I moved the deleted topic back to the public category and deleted it from there, then redirect worked…
