It does all lookups on the fly.

Graham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kpgraham/) * (@kpgraham) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-cache/#post-3520355) * My plugin works only when there is a page not found error. * It then does a look-up on the database for a similar page and redirects to it. * It does not change the permalink structure. It does not change the .htaccess file. * I think you may have installed another permalink plugin. Is this possible? * Using FTP, go into the plugins folder under content and delete the permalink- finder-plugin folder if it exists, just to make sure that things are completely clear. * You can reset the permalinks by going into settings and then clicking permalinks. You can then change the permalink structure to something and save. And then put it back the way you want it and save. This will reset the permalink structure back the way you want it. This is completely done by wordpress and you don’t need a plugin to do it. * Keith * Thread Starter [dwnfred](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dwnfred/) * (@dwnfred) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-cache/#post-3520357) * Hi thanks for this reply * but my question really was if there is a sort of CACHE and how to flush it please? * .htaccess is rightly configured but as explained : for exemple, yesterday before i set up the plugin permalink i set a permanent redirection like that : * RedirectPermanent /project/a/ [http://www.mysite.com/b/a/](http://www.mysite.com/b/a/) * and when trying to access to [http://www.mysite.com/project/a/](http://www.mysite.com/project/a/) it redirected correctly to [http://www.mysite.com/b/a/](http://www.mysite.com/b/a/) * after i set up the plugin & deactived it i have to set some permanents redirection like : * RedirectPermanent /project/a/ [http://www.mysite.com/b/a/](http://www.mysite.com/b/a/) RedirectPermanent /b/project/a/ [http://www.mysite.com/b/a/](http://www.mysite.com/b/a/) * I have now to set 2 entries for every redirections after i have disabled the permalink finder * Thank you m8 hope understanding * Plugin Author [Keith P.

After you disabled the permalink finder, everything is exactly the way it was before you installed it. * Keith * Thread Starter [dwnfred](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dwnfred/) * (@dwnfred) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-cache/#post-3520371) * Ok there is no cache but how do you explained that : * for exemple, yesterday before i set up the plugin permalink i set a permanent redirection like that : * RedirectPermanent /project/a/ [http://www.mysite.com/b/a/](http://www.mysite.com/b/a/) * and when trying to access to [http://www.mysite.com/project/a/](http://www.mysite.com/project/a/) it redirected correctly to [http://www.mysite.com/b/a/](http://www.mysite.com/b/a/) * after i set up the plugin & deactived it i have to set some permanents redirection like : * RedirectPermanent /project/a/ [http://www.mysite.com/b/a/](http://www.mysite.com/b/a/) RedirectPermanent /b/project/a/ [http://www.mysite.com/b/a/](http://www.mysite.com/b/a/) * I have now to set 2 entries for every redirections after i have disabled the permalink finder * ? * Plugin Author [Keith P. Graham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kpgraham/) * (@kpgraham) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-cache/#post-3520373) * I cannot explain. * Permalink finder doesn’t work after it is disabled. It never changes redirections and only works when a page is not found. It can’t do anything when it is disabled. * All I can think of is that you installed another permalink plugin. * Keith * Thread Starter [dwnfred](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dwnfred/) * (@dwnfred) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-cache/#post-3520374) * But m8, could you agree that IF i put in the .htaccess file a redirection like that : * RedirectPermanent **/project/a/** **[http://www.mysite.com/b/a/](http://www.mysite.com/b/a/)** * When browsing to my website URL : **[http://www.mysite.com/project/a/](http://www.mysite.com/project/a/)** it has normally to redirect me to **[http://www.mysite.com/b/a/](http://www.mysite.com/b/a/)** * I don’t understand why it redirects by default to something like : * **[http://www.mysite.com/b/project/a/](http://www.mysite.com/b/project/a/)** * i need to create 2 entries for each URL that i want to finally to be redirected it is a really strange thing… * i don’t have any other plugin for redirections * Thread Starter [dwnfred](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dwnfred/) * (@dwnfred) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-cache/#post-3520379) * in fact i was wrong apparently the redirect permanent could only redirect a parent directory with a exact URL like : * Redirect Permanent **/project** **[http://www.mysite.com/b/a/](http://www.mysite.com/b/a/)** this example will work, but in case of sub-directory : * Redirect Permanent **/project/a/** **[http://www.mysite.com/b/a/](http://www.mysite.com/b/a/)** * i will be forced to put a second entry like that : Redirect Permanent **/b/project/ a/** **[http://www.mysite.com/b/a/](http://www.mysite.com/b/a/)** * to finally have the [http://www.mysite.com/project/a/](http://www.mysite.com/project/a/) redirected to **[http://www.mysite.com/b/a/](http://www.mysite.com/b/a/)** * perhaps there is an another way to do dynamically rewrite url or something else * Thread Starter [dwnfred](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dwnfred/) * (@dwnfred) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-cache/#post-3520381) * So i enabled permalinks finder plugin again * Sorry it was not a problem related with the plugin but with Redirect Permanent on the .htaccess file * I don’t know if someone here knows how to dynamically redirect a 2 directories( parent/sub-directory) to an exact URL because with the instruction Redirect Permanent we can’t manage this without putting 2 entries * Plugin Author [Keith P. Graham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kpgraham/) * (@kpgraham) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-cache/#post-3520393) * I am glad it was just a technical issue. You could use htaccess to do a complicated regular expression. Unfortunately, I’ve never been good at regular expression syntax, so the easy way has to be the two separate entries. * Keith * Thread Starter [dwnfred](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dwnfred/) * (@dwnfred) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-cache/#post-3520398) * OK thanks * i mark this topic as resolved because it was not related with your plugin * have a nice day * KR Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) The topic ‘Problem cache’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/permalink-finder_81927c.svg) * [Link Fixer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/permalink-finder/) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/permalink-finder/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/permalink-finder/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/permalink-finder/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/permalink-finder/reviews/) * 14 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [dwnfred](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dwnfred/) * Last activity: [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-cache/#post-3520398) * Status: resolved
