wordpress redirects

  • I find that wordpress automatically seems to create redirects when I change the permalink of a page. For example:

    1. I create new page with permalink /test1
    2. then after publishing I change the permalink to /test2
    3. then if I browse to /test1 I get redirected to /test2

    Thus somewhere a redirect is created from /test1 to /test2 just by changing the permalink? However I can’t find where its stored and how I can change or remove it.

    I’m using the Avada theme by themefusion. The only redirect plugin installed is simple 301 redirects. This plugin doesn’t store redirects automatically and I do not believe that this plugin creates a problem. As the “problem” also occurs on other wordpress websites which do not have simple 301 redirects installed

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • When the permalink is changed, the old slug is stored in the post meta table with the key _old_slug. This is used internally to get visitors to the correct page.
