# Redirection crashes wp-admin

 * Something’s changed with Redirection, and it causes the entire backend to go 
   whitescreen. I don’t know why or how, or if I can delete all the Redirection 
   data and start fresh. but whenever I reinstall the plugin, it just blanks the
   backend with a 500 error. When the plugin is removed, everything functions normally.
 * The frontend works regardless of this issue.
 * What can I do to clear all Redirection data and reinstall it, to check if it 
   was some sort of error in the redirect data?

 * Correction – sorry, it’s late and I’m tired. x_x
 * This occurred after updating WordPress to the latest version.
