Google Verification File Causing Redirect Error

    Have a client who attempted to verify their site in GWT using the HTML file method. Site is http://winewelfare.com

    Their first incorrect attempt involved simply creating a page titled the same as the name of the google html file: “http://winewelfare.com/googlexxxxxxxxxxxx-html”. I verified it correctly for them after this, but now the home page redirects to the old crappy page they created with same name as the google file. Can’t figure out how to repair.

    Here is the .htaccess:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Fixed it. Error with Redirection plugin. Deactivated and re-activated it.

    What’s strange is that when I downloaded my Redirection logs, there was one in the file redirecting “/” to the above-mentioned crappy Google file page, however the redirection was not listed in the interface.
