    Hello,
    I need to delete a redirect. The redirect is working…but now I no longer need it or want it and I can neither delet nor edit it.

    When I try, I get “

    Bad data

    There was a problem making a request to your site. This could indicate you provided data that did not match requirements, or that the plugin sent a bad request.

    Please review your data and try again.”

    At the bottom of the debug info it says:

    Error: Invalid redirect (redirect_bulk_failed)
    Raw: {“code”:”redirect_bulk_failed”,”message”:”Invalid redirect”,”data”:{“status”:400,”error_code”:345}}

    Thanks

    Well, then when I searched for it again, after a couple of attempts, I realized it was gone but still redirecting. However, after clearing my browser cache, the redirect is no longer in effect, so it is resolved.

    Your site is using a cache that is affecting your REST API. This means that although the redirect has been redirected your cache is still returning it, and when you try to delete again it shows an error.

    You should clear this cache and make sure it doesn’t affect your REST API.
