Redirection on some URLs not working

can I just disable the Redirection plugin and install the SEO Redirect plugin to see if it works? OR do I have to make the commitment and uninstall this one first??

Technically @redzaustralia, you don’t need to disable the Redirection plugin in order to test the SEO Redirection plugin.

Simply install and activate SEO Redirection. Once you are satisfied that you like the SEO Redirection you can proceed to deactivate and delete the dead Redirection plugin.

P.S. I think there are remnants of the Redirection that linger in your WordPress database tables, but they are harmless. They simply consume slight overhead space but there are no worries.

Good luck.

Thank you so much for replying @franktredici – much appreciated. Will give that a try.

I’m hoping it’s not just the issue of having migrated my blog from blogger – another forum string suggested that unless folders/post files are renamed or removed, blogger to WP will always have probs with redirections.

I guess I’ll find out!

Thanx again ??

I guess I am not crystal clear on your issue or what you are hoping to avoid. But let me know if you need any help.

The SEO Redirection plugin is very straight forward, easy to use, and it works. So if all you are after is a 301/302 redirect, SEO Redirection is one of a number of active WP Plugins that will do the trick for you @redzaustralia.

I see there was an update to the plugin. Did it fix your issue?

Hello @wingtsundummy!

After the most recent update the pass through redirection was actually working, but I’m not happy with the way it works so I’ve removed it. (I wanted to redirect a whole post to a guest post I’d written another blog. The pass through redirect takes me to the text of the post on the other blog, but doesn’t load the photos. The URL shows as my blog, but the content of the blog to which I have redirected is showing, so there’s no way for the reader to easily navigate back to MY blog – so YES it works, but NO it doesn’t work how I wanted it to.)

I haven’t tried to change a permalink since the update, so I’m not sure if that’s working now. The permalink I DID change before the update (this action alerted me to the problem) didn’t work at all, so I changed it back to the original permalink. Now the original redirection (from blogger blog to word press blog) doesn’t work even though I’ve deleted it and redirected again.

I have no alternative but to try the different plug in that @franktredici suggested and @azn137 tested out.
