    Hi.

    Somehow one of my pages is being redirected with a 301. I have checked using a chrome extension and it confirms it is a 301, It is being redirected to the home page.
    Problem is over the years i have had a few developers on my site.
    I now want to use the URL that is being redirected.

    I have looked in the following: of which all have some redirects that are required, but not the one i need to cancel.
    HT ACCESS – NO
    C- PANEL REDIRECTS – NO
    SEO YOAST PLUGIN REDIRECTS – NO

    Is there anywhere else that someone may have set up a 301?
    Its like hide and seek!
    Many thanks in advance

    Is a plugin handling the redirects?

    Some additional ideas:

    Check very carefully .htaccess. Bear in mind that the standard WordPress setup contains instructions to forward (internally) any request to the main index.php if no such file or directory exists. You’d need to add only one parameter to make this a 301…

    .htaccess might be in the directory of the redirected address, or in any parent och grandparent directory.

    Redirects (and everything else you can set up in .htaccess + even more) can also be set in the server configuration files.

    Check if there’s a file with the URL already (or a folder) with the url that gets redirected, if yes, check its contents.

    Try searching for the redirected slug in your database (using phpmyadmin).
    If you get a match, then you´ll be one step closer to a solution.

    Good luck!
