# Cannot Edit Permanent Redirect

 * This plugin very nicely solved a problem I had, by redirecting a url to another
   url.
 * Then I changed the url of the target page, but it keeps redirecting to the old
   url, even after I updated the redirect.
 * • I have cleared my browser cache
    • I have deleted the redirect and created 
   a new one • I have deleted the plugin entirely, reinstalled it, and created the
   redirect again.
 * It still redirects to the old url of the first redirect I created. It’s like 
   it’s permanently written to my database. Can we please fix this? What am I doing
   wrong?

 * If you have changed the redirect in Redirection then it is not redirecting you
   still. Certainly if you deleted the plugin it’s not performing the redirect.
 * It is likely a cache somewhere, or something else is performing the redirect.
 * Without knowing the URL I can’t give any definite answer.

 * The original redirect is [https://www.bucksawcreative.com/account](https://www.bucksawcreative.com/account)
   to [https://www.bucksawcreative.com/diy-guide-dashboard](https://www.bucksawcreative.com/diy-guide-dashboard)
 * The new redirect is [https://www.bucksawcreative.com/account](https://www.bucksawcreative.com/account)
   to [https://www.bucksawcreative.com/diy-guide](https://www.bucksawcreative.com/diy-guide)
 * All I did was remove “dashboard” from the url.
 * Any advice on clearing cache? More steps than I have already done?
 * Thanks for the help.

 * Your redirect is working correctly:
 * [https://redirect.li/http/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bucksawcreative.com%2Faccount](https://redirect.li/http/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bucksawcreative.com%2Faccount)
 * You should clear your browser cache to get the latest redirect.

 * I manually typed in the url into my browser:
    [https://www.bucksawcreative.com/account](https://www.bucksawcreative.com/account)
   and you are correct, it redirects to [https://www.bucksawcreative.com/diy-guide](https://www.bucksawcreative.com/diy-guide)
   as desired.
 * However:
 * I am using the EasyCart plugin to create a members-only area of my site. EasyCart
   creates a login page, but I used the Redirection plugin to redirect to a page
   of my choice instead of the default Account page also created by EasyCart.
 * The EasyCart login page has somehow permanently retained the first redirect url
   I created. When logging in, it still redirects to the first url. I tested this
   on someone else’s computer on an entirely different browser.
 * My bandaid solution is to create yet another redirect from the incorrect url.
   So the page redirects twice now before landing on the desired page. This will
   work for now.
 * I’m sure the Redirection plugin is just doing it’s job, but when combined with
   EasyCart, something happened that now can’t be changed. Just a heads up for future
   development. If you have any suggestions I am all ears.

 * Just following up on this. There was another setting I missed that was redirecting
   the page. For anyone reading this, the Redirection plugin is working just fine
   and doing it’s job. Cheers!
