Homepage redirecting to a non-existant page

    Hi,

    I was creating a new page /tabbed-sidebarring/ as a testing ground for a new tabbed sidebar, and had a new javascript running on it, but when you try to go to the main index page it now redirects to that link. Try it yourself: https://www.betterretailing.com

    I’ve deleted the page and all files associated with it, and cleared the cache (W3 super cache), but no joy. Then I set up a 301 redirect to get people away from that page and to the homepage, but that just failed (could not resolve). Anyone experience this at all before? I’m really stumped as none of the rest of my template files are any different from this morning when I started this…

    If anyone else has this weird problem – I didn’t fix it, but our server administrator had a look for me and found that it was something to do with the main database. Not sure how, but the database was instructing all visits to the homepage to forward to /tabbed-sidebarring/

    Perhaps a config file doing something weird. Completely inexplicable behaviour though…
