 * Hi there,
 * I’ve problems with configurated redirects.
 * For example there is this redirect:
    /pl/sold-pl/m06e5598-hilgeland-ch4mha/ [http://steinfels.local/pl/sold-pl/m06i6125-hilgeland-ch4mha/](http://steinfels.local/pl/sold-pl/m06i6125-hilgeland-ch4mha/)
 * But if I visit [http://steinfels.local/pl/sold-pl/m06e5598-hilgeland-ch4mha/](http://steinfels.local/pl/sold-pl/m06e5598-hilgeland-ch4mha/)
   the redirect is not eecuted. Instead an empty arichive.php-page is shown. It 
   says, that there is no Post to Display and something went wrong.
 * Perhaps there is some strange behaivior with qtranslate, but I don’t know where
   to enter debugging. The Redirections for the main-language is working…
 * Best regards,
 * Stefan

 * Hi [@stefanimhoff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stefanimhoff/),
 * Your domain `steinfels.local` is not resolving, which means the DNS records are
   not properly configured. Browser can’t get to the domain, let alone WordPress
   and Redirection. Please check with an [online DNS propagation checker](https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/steinfels.local)
   and address this issue with your hosting or DNS provider.

 * Yes, it’s a local environment for developing-purpose. But on the Live-Server 
   I’ve the same problem.
    Shouldn’t it work locally? I need to figure out the problem
   so I want to debug it. Where does Redirection hooking in to WordPress to check
   if a redirect is necessary?

 * Hi [@stefanimhoff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stefanimhoff/),
 * Sorry for the misunderstanding. With so many TLDs popping up every day, I thought.
   local had made it to the league 🙂
 * Anyway, I don’t think I can answer with certainty your question, but I’d guess
   if you are seeing an archive.php page, it probably means WordPress is redirecting
   that URL, likely based on a “nearest match”. If you Google “wordpress closest
   match redirect” you’ll see a few posts describing how that works and how to disable
   it if you want. You can check whether my assumption is right by opening that 
   URL with Dev Tools on (F12 on Chrome). Check the Network tab and click on the
   first file, see if there’s a header “x-redirect-by: WordPress”.
