Redirects
FUEL has added a way to deal with 301 redirects that don't require the need for .htaccess. Redirects are configured in the fuel/application/config/redirects.php file. To add a redirect, add a URI location as a key and the redirect location as the value. Key values can use regular expression syntax similar to routes. A redirect will only work if there are no pages detected by FUEL. It will check the redirects right before delivering a 404 error.
Do NOT include beginning or trailing slashes for BOTH keys and values
$redirect['news/my_old_news_item'] = 'news/my_brand_new_news_item';
