Sudden problems

I’m getting the same error after the update.

If you go in and Edit then Save each redirect individually it fixes it for me but that’s only going to work if you have a handful of redirects setup. Our sites have 100s.

It looks like another plugin is having a similar issue after the update (https://github.com/aamplugin/advanced-access-manager/issues/94).

I’m getting this error message on a new install when attempting to install a theme. The theme-install.php page displays the error message that you mentioned. I called our hosting company, and their wait times are unusually high. Wonder if this is a WP update issue?

Are you running other plugins that might be causing this problem? The message is shown when wp_redirect_status returns a value that isn’t a redirect. Redirection does not change this value, and I cannot reproduce it. This suggests it may be something specific to your site, such as a plugin.

The problem was reported by Link Checker yesterday, and I haven’t added plugins to the site recently. Maybe some were updated automatically.
I have 73 redirects and I checked 20 or so, and only a few gave the error. If I edit and save, the problem disappears.

Sure, but another plugin may be causing the problem. It doesn’t have to be a new one, or an updated one. As I said, I am unable to reproduce the problem, and it seems to be in a part of WordPress 5.4 that Redirection isn’t involved with. This suggests that it may be specific to your site, and so the best way to test is to disable other plugins and see if the problem goes away. It could also be your theme.

It might be the new WordPress-version, that somehow causes the problems. I just thought that I would report it ??
I’ll just edit/save since it seems to solve the problem. Thanks for looking into it.

Yep, something has changed in WordPress 5.4. However, I am unable to reproduce it with any of my WordPress 5.4 sites so I think there is something else involved that is specific to your site (and anyone else with the same problem). The only way to identify this is by testing if other plugins are involved.

Thanks again.

It’s caused by a change in WP 5.4 related to the function wp_redirect: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/wp_redirect/
If a wrong status is passed, then it fails.
Look for that function usage in all plugins installed to find which one is causing the problem.

I am having the same issue. I copied my site to staging, deactivated all plugins except Redirection, and switched theme to Twenty Twenty. Still seeing it, whether logged in or not.

When I use the “Check Redirect” option from within the Redirection plugin, I get a confirmation (Expected / Found).

Any thoughts?

@relish1227 no thoughts. Can you start a new thread and add full details, rather than add to an old and resolved one?

Yes, will do.
