Wordpress Admin Tools URL Redirection

When using a page anchor # url for the Existing URL, the redirection creates a double URL.

For example;
For Existing URL: about/#history
Using the New URL: about/history
Redirects to: about/#history#history

What is the solution to prevent this?
I have tried all of the Keep URL Parameters; Override all; None.

There is indeed a bug when the redirection target includes a fragment. Can you please try using the latest (as of this writing) dev release instead? I have added a fix for that issue. This will be included in version 1.2.0 scheduled for next week.

What is the best way to install without loosing my current settings with the existing install?

This is on a clients live site.

Thanks,

Unlike Joomla, WordPress is incapable of updating / re-installing a plugin by uploading a ZIP file. You have to do it like it's the early 2000s all over again: FTP. See the manual update method under https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/atwp/installing.html#updating

I spotted a typo in that documentation page. The folder is admintoolswp, not akeebabackupwp. Other than that it's accurate.
