Redirects Stopped Working

  Awhile back I removed the the dates and .html from my permalinks and set-up redirects in my ht.access file. They have been working fine until today.

  The redirects I used were:
  RedirectMatch 301 ^/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/(?!page/)(.+)$ https://www.smileandconquer.com/$3

  RedirectMatch 301 ^(.*).html $1

  Now my homepage is redirecting from http://www.smileandconquer.com to http://www.smileandconquer.com/index and getting a ‘Page Not Found Error’. If I remove the redirects it goes back to working but obviously the old links with dates no longer redirect. Any ideas why this would suddenly stop working?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
