Where does the plugin store the redirects? Need to fix one with FTP..

I have the same problem.

I am not able to do anything, the redirection is wrong.

Hi Mif/remcomeijer,

When using the Redirection plugin, it’s important to understand the implications of using regular expression notation. Using “/wp*” basically means find “wp” followed by anything – this includes “wp-admin”, “wp-login.php” etc. By the sounds of things your entire site will be trying to redirect because of this.

I’d recommend you FTP into your site and then just move the plugin folder to another location. You can find the plugin in:

/wp-content/plugins/redirection/

Taking this out from your plugins directory should enable you to log back into your site. Basically, WP won’t be able to find it and the scripts can’t run.

If you still experience an issue, then clear your browser cache and re-try.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,

Zain

Hey Zain,

I understand, the issue is that when you create the redirect: /wp/* it will somehow skip the / and read this: /wp*.

Anyway, i deleted the plugin and installed it again.

Hi Mif,

One thing I forgot to mention – the Redirection plugin may store your original value (“/wp/*”) in the database, so the issue may appear again once you re-activate the plugin.

You might need to delete the (*prefix*)_redirection table from your database – depending on if you find the issue is happening again.

Good luck with it.

Cheers, Zain
