 * However, when bots visit other URLs, an illegal redirect occurs: [https://prnt.sc/qdxuzvzwTq7r](https://prnt.sc/qdxuzvzwTq7r)

 * Please the plugin that do your translation. It might be doing the redirection.

 * We investigated this with the Gtranslate team. We found that the problem was 
   caused by the ip2location plugin. Because when we changed the status code in 
   the redirect rule, we found that the redirect code in the network section also
   changed. [https://prnt.sc/Q03WQg7Hz9P6](https://prnt.sc/Q03WQg7Hz9P6) When we
   change the code here to 301, the redirects work with 301, and when we change 
   it to 302, the redirects work with 302. We are sure that the problem is caused
   by the ip2location plugin. Also, there was no such problem until we updated the
   plugin to version 1.33.2.

 * Can I which version are you using before this?
 * You may download the previous version at [https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/ip2location-redirection/tags](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/ip2location-redirection/tags)
   to verify that.
