Deleted buggy page. Emptied trash. But URL stays working and won't 301 redirect?
-
Hey there,
The site I need help with is http://www.hikari.bike
Today I deleted a page which was bugging out, which used to be at this URL: https://www.hikari.bike/halo-bike-wheel-lights/
I completely emptied the trash, and cleared all my browser cache, however, the URL still works, but now it links to another page (the one you see).
I really, really need to redirect this old URL to a the new copy of the webpage:
https://www.hikari.bike/velohalo-bike-wheel-lights/However, all the 301 redirect plugins I’ve tried have failed. This URL – https://www.hikari.bike/halo-bike-wheel-lights/ – just refuses to be redirected.
Here’s a list of all the redirect plugins I’ve tried:

It’s like the deleted page is hiding somewhere. But that doesn’t explain why I can redirect.
If any of you lovely people know what the hell is going on, I’d really appreciate it, because I’m literally bleeding SEO traffic right now!
Many thanks.
