The redirect is working fine. You have created a loop and can see this in the last screenshot. You should adjust your redirect (including the one not from Redirection) so that a loop doesn’t occur.
what do u mean they are working fine?

these old ones were working fine and i had taken the exact same steps
https://snipboard.io/EpFuMK.jpg
what should i do with the loop?
You’ve now included a new screenshot.
The first shows the redirect is working fine. Your target is a 404.
The second shows that Redirection is redirecting the source URL. Something else is then performing additional redirects, which in turn causes Redirection to redirect again.
so what is the problem????
i do not understand

i was taking the exact same steps in the past and it was working
As I said, the problem is that your target (https://philsgranola.gr/bark) is itself redirecting, and it is redirecting back to the source. This means you are looping from one redirect to another redirect.
You will need to stop whatever is causing that second redirect. It is not Redirection.
i was taking the exact same steps in the past and it was working
Sure. You previously didn’t create a loop.
The redirect that is showing a 404 is because you have redirected to a page that doesn’t exist. You should redirect to a page that does exist.
please check this

i deleted the one on top that is not working fine
i want to redirect this page
can u tell me exactly what should i add in the source and target url so that the initial url
https://philsgranola.gr/clusters-με-σοκολ?τα-φρ?ουλε?-και-γιαο?ρτι-2/
is changed to
https://philsgranola.gr/clusters-me-sokolata-fraoules-kai-giaourti-2/
??
https://philsgranola.gr/clusters-%ce%bc%ce%b5-%cf%83%ce%bf%ce%ba%ce%bf%ce%bb%ce%ac%cf%84%ce%b1-%cf%86%cf%81%ce%ac%ce%bf%cf%85%ce%bb%ce%b5%cf%82-%ce%ba%ce%b1%ce%b9-%ce%b3%ce%b9%ce%b1%ce%bf%cf%8d%cf%81%cf%84%ce%b9-2/ was redirecting correctly. You can see this here where it says ‘redirected by redirection’:
https://snipboard.io/r4S3N6.jpg
You have redirected it to a page that doesn’t exist.
https://philsgranola.gr/clusters-me-sokolata-fraoules-kai-giaourti-2/ does not exist.
A redirect does not move content, it just tells the browser to look elsewhere.
i will explain AGAIN
i want to redirect this page THAT EXISTS
this also leads to the same page
can u tell me exactly what should i add in the source and target url so that the initial url
SO THAT THE URL INSTEAD OF THE ONE ABOVE IS
https://philsgranola.gr/clusters-με-σοκολ?τα-φρ?ουλε?-και-γιαο?ρτι-2/
is changed to
https://philsgranola.gr/clusters-me-sokolata-fraoules-kai-giaourti-2/
can u tell me exactly what should i add in the source and target url ?
Do you think shouting helps the situation?
I am trying to help, but it seems that you aren’t reading my replies. I have answered your problem several times now. Let’s try another variation.
What happens when you go to https://philsgranola.gr/clusters-me-sokolata-fraoules-kai-giaourti-2/ ?
You get a 404.
A redirect will not change that and will not move your content.
You need to put content on that page, or you should change the permalink of the original page.
There is nothing that a redirect can do to help you here. You need to put content on that page. https://philsgranola.gr/clusters-me-sokolata-fraoules-kai-giaourti-2/ needs to be a valid page.
can u tell me exactly what should i add in the source and target url ?
Your original source and target are correct. Please carefully read this message. A redirect will not move your content. You are redirecting to a 404. The redirect is working fine. Your target needs to be a valid page.
i told u this is the original page
https://snipboard.io/6NQ21r.jpg
when i copy and paste the url becomes like this
this is how i want the url to change
https://philsgranola.gr/clusters-me-sokolata-fraoules-kai-giaourti-2/?
when i add it here
https://snipboard.io/MyWlxD.jpg
it does not redirect
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
It does redirect:
when i copy and paste the url becomes like this
Yes, Greek needs to be encoded. If you put it in your browser it will show the Greek.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
Your original source and target are correct. Please carefully read this message. A redirect will not move your content. You are redirecting to a 404. The redirect is working fine – it is going to the target you told it too. Your target needs to be a valid page. It is your responsibility to ensure the target is a valid page.
even in this page https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/redirection/
it says that above is the old page and below is the new page
i am complete confused
https://snipboard.io/r5s3ct.jpg
i want this existing page https://philsgranola.gr/clusters-με-σοκολ?τα-φρ?ουλε?-και-γιαο?ρτι-2/ το have this url instead ?https://philsgranola.gr/clusters-me-sokolata-fraoules-kai-giaourti-2/? how should i set it up specifically?
i think the problem is that in the past i had manually changed to latin characters all the slugs and permalinks first
https://snipboard.io/hdv1W9.jpg and https://snipboard.io/Vcgi5S.jpg
this is how they were working
https://snipboard.io/Our3lW.jpg
and then added the redirects
so both source and target pages existed
here i hadn t changed them first https://snipboard.io/EapXz8.jpg so i was getting a 404 error
A redirect does not move a page. It says that the source URL now lives at the target URL (
/my-old-page
now lives at/my-new-page
).It does not move the content, it just tells the browser to look elsewhere.
/my-new-page
needs to be a valid page that exists.I repeat,
/my-new-page
needs to be a valid page. You control this (in WordPress), not Redirection.You have correctly set up a redirect from your old page. It is working as expected. But you have told it to look at a page that doesn’t exist (https://philsgranola.gr/clusters-me-sokolata-fraoules-kai-giaourti-2/)
I don’t know what you are showing me with the other screenshots. I have answered your original question, and your redirect was working. You need to modify your WordPress site so the new URL is valid. If you are unable to do that then it is best to ask in another forum. This forum is specifically for Redirection questions.
