Here’s a great article on how to create different types of redirections with the Redirection plugin from WordPress.

To create a wildcard redirection you add the following:

^/(.*)$ or ^/page_name/.*$

That’ll forward the home URL (or page) and every following subdirectory accordingly.

To add a redirect regardless of whether the user adds a trailing slash or not, you add this:

[/]? so it’d look something like this: /relative-url[/]?

Here’s a good article explaining the trailing slashes:
