Redirects not working

    I’ve got four domains redirecting to one URL. They’re at GoDaddy and the site is hosted at Siteground. The domains are parked at Siteground and the A record at GD is pointed to the IP at SG. It worked fine … until I installed Swift Performance Lite. Two of the four now don’t redirect, they show an error page. The other two, I believe, are showing an old cached version of the site (at least it’s not an error).

    If I disable Swift, the redirects work fine. I’m also using the free Cloudflare via Siteground and have tested turning off HTTPS redirects there and also putting them here: Settings > General > Tweaks > Custom htaccess.

    Nothing seems to work except disabling Swift.

    Sounds like a misconfiguration in Siteground and/or Cloudflare. I use Swift with Siteground in combination with Cloudflare on regular base and have no problem with it.

    Do/did you use also the SG Optimizer plugin? When you enable Swift, you don′t need that.

    Did you purge cache after changing settings in your configuration?

    Without viewing your configuartion it is hard to give you a solution.

    I was able to get it to work, eventually. Somehow, Siteground controls the redirects just by having the domain parked there and the A record at GoDaddy pointing to the IP address. I went one step further and set the redirect in cPanel and made sure all parked domains were connected to CloudFlare (side note: two of them wouldn’t connect for some reason, still trying to figure that out).

    It still didn’t work until I moved the redirect stuff in .htaccess (I assume that was added by Siteground when I redirected in cPanel??) to the top, above all the Swift stuff.

    So all is well for now. Thank you for your time!
