  Hi,

  I’m struggling with what I believe is a redirect automatically created by WordPress.

  I changed the slug of one of my pages from domain.com/original-url to domain.com/alternative-url.

  I now want to use the original URL to point to a new page, however it is redirecting to my homepage domain.com.

  It’s a 301 redirect, and appears to be WordPress that’s creating the redirect rather than any plug-in. I have RankMath installed but have deactivated this to test and still get the redirect.

  What could be causing this? I’ve tried looking in the htaccess file, but can’t see anything obvious in here, albeit I’ll admit that this is beyond my knowledge; I don’t know what I’m looking for in here.

  I’ve tried googling and can’t find anyone that has experienced the exact same issue. Others have had similar issues but caused by plugins for example.

  Any help would be much appreciated!

  Hi there!

  I don’t see any sites under your account; what’s the address of the site you’re working on?
