Title: [Plugin: Redirection] Impossible to change/deactivate/disable redirects Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Redirection] Impossible to change/deactivate/disable redirects * Resolved [Gustavo Dibasson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gustty/) * (@gustty) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-redirection-impossible-to-changedeactivatedisable-redirects/) * Hi all! * I made some redirects with Redirection plugin ([http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/)) and it worked well. But when I wanted to change, disable or delete a redirect, the plugin ignores anything. I used the delete option in Options and Redirection plugin was disabled, but the redirects are still active. * My ISP does not provide access to the database to be able to manually delete Redirection records . * What can I do?

I’ve disabled all plugins and switched the theme and the redirects are still working even though I want to update/disable/ delete them. * I’ve deleted the plugin and re-installed and that didn’t work. * I’ve deleted the redirects under options as well and they continue to work. * I’ve checked the MySQL tables and they contain no rules. * I’ve reset the permalinks and that also did not work. * What am I missing here? * EDIT —- * I think this just had to do with the fact that while I was changing this I kept the session open in my browser, when I used a different browser everything worked as it should. * Thread Starter [Gustavo Dibasson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gustty/) * (@gustty) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-redirection-impossible-to-changedeactivatedisable-redirects/#post-3037740) * Hi philipatplay, * I also tried your same things, except edit mysql tables because I don’t have access on it. Also, I have as usual use Chrome to browse admin pages, and Firefox to develop and surf web pages. I reset all them, I tried to use IE and Safari, but I continued with the problem. * Then… I had the daring to beg please to the server administrator to restart the http service and a few hours later …Voila! Now, apparently everything is correct. * [alex chousmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chousmith/) * (@chousmith) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-redirection-impossible-to-changedeactivatedisable-redirects/#post-3037837) * Did this bug get marked RESOLVED because of the solution , to restart http service and wait a few hours to see if the deleted redirects are really deleted? * I noticed that on the wp-admin/tools.php?page=redirection.php , if i Check the checkbox & choose to Delete a particular redirect, it looks like it is deleted, but was still very much there in the Database. I had to go in to phpmyadmin and remove the rule manually from there. * [grex22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grex22/) * (@grex22) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-redirection-impossible-to-changedeactivatedisable-redirects/#post-3037876) * I can confirm this behavior as well — seems to be quite odd indeed. * [brian7997](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brian7997/) * (@brian7997) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-redirection-impossible-to-changedeactivatedisable-redirects/#post-3037881) * Please fix this plugin. When items are deleted they still appear in the database and still redirect! * What a pain! * [berchman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berchman/) * (@berchman) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-redirection-impossible-to-changedeactivatedisable-redirects/#post-3037888) * I’m following up on this as well. Just logged into the database and see redirects I thought were deleted and status set to active. * These same redirect rules do NOT show in the WordPress admin. * [TourAbsurd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tourabsurd/) * (@tourabsurd) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-redirection-impossible-to-changedeactivatedisable-redirects/#post-3037889) * Glad I found this thread. Was able to log into phpMyAdmin and remove the redirects. Yes, this bug is definitely not resolved.
