 * Hello,
 * I’ve set up 4 redirects from urls created for specific qr codes:
 * [https://www.ykk.it/it/ea/ea1/](https://www.ykk.it/it/ea/ea1/)
 * [https://www.ykk.it/it/ea/ea2/](https://www.ykk.it/it/ea/ea2/)
 * [https://www.ykk.it/it/ea/ea5/](https://www.ykk.it/it/ea/ea5/)
 * [https://www.ykk.it/it/ea/ea6/](https://www.ykk.it/it/ea/ea6/)
 * There redirects doens’t work as expected because after scanning the qr codes 
   we see the 404 page, not the redirected page.
 * Can you please help us?
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fredirection-not-working-with-qr-code%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * How should they work? What redirect did you create for them? Have you cleared
   all caches?

 * Hello!
 * I removed the 301 redirection on those pages and changed the page slugs to solve
   the issue immediately.
 * I don’t think it’s something related to browser or server cache, but probably
   to the use of an external software. If you use a qr code scanner app on your 
   smartphone the redirection doesn’t work, in my case I was redireted to the home
   page of the website (not the 404 page) and that’s weird.
 * Maybe this behavious has been recently added for security policy.
 * Thanks for you feedback.
