Deactivated redirection still redirect (a solution)

    SITUATION
    – You have a page with slug [/liens-utiles/].
    – Using the WordPress plugin “Redirection”, you redirected the URL [/liens/] to open the page [/liens-utiles/].

    PROBLEM
    – Later, you removed the redirection (by disabling it in “Redirection”, or by deleting the plugin itself). Now, URL [/liens/] should trigger a page 404 error.
    – BUT strangely, the redirection is still working, and URL [/liens/] still open the page [/liens-utiles/].

    SOLUTION
    – On WordPress, trash the page [/liens-utile/].
    – Then, still on WordPress, simply restore the page (go in Pages > Trash > Then click “Restore”).

    RESULT
    – In some situation, this will solve the problem. The redirection should be deactivated, and the URL [/liens/] should now trigger a page 404 error normally.

    POST SCRIPTUM
    – Of course, deactivate all your “cache plugins” first, and test this in a “private window” on your browser.

    If you delete a redirect or disable Redirection then it is not performing a redirect and is no longer involved. Something else may be redirecting it.

    I did some tests. In fact, the solution I’ve proposed may introduce some problems. Can I ask you to erase my message?

    Sorry, I don’t have that power.
