Redirection Mistake? Help Please~

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have a blog site using WordPress, and I wanted to make a custom link in my navigation menu. I looked for a plugin but all were outdated so I figured I’d make a regular page (to get the text I want in the navigation menu) and then use a 301 redirect to go where I want to go, rather than a page in WP.

    Well, I set up the 301 redirect and suddenly and inexplicably the home page of my site now redirects to a completely unrelated page. I deleted the redirect code from my .htaccess file but it’s still redirecting for anyone who visits the site.

    If this doesn’t get fixed my site is ruined, what do I do?!

    Here’s a link <a href="http://www.ftwins.com/">http://www.ftwins.com</a> – it shouldn’t redirect at all but it does :(
