I have disabled the plugin now. but there were multiple pages redirecting to same page

1. https://discountjugaad.com/amaozn-large-appliances-lightning-deals
2. https://discountjugaad.com/product/multi-function-beauty-care-5-1-massager-rs-169-shopclues

redirecting to – https://discountjugaad.com/coupons

Okay,

I’m about to update the plugin anyway, which will allow you to enable debug mode from a settings page. The debug mode works only for administrator logged in users. Instead of redirecting it will show you a screen explaining what the plugin understood from the URL and how he’s going to redirect it.

You can still enable debug mode right now, you have to edit the plugin file at /wp-content/plugins/wp-404-auto-redirect-similar-post/wp-404-auto-redirect-similar-post.php line 14.

Change the $return['debug'] = false; to $return['debug'] = true;, save the changes and upload it.

Login in as admin then try again to hit https://discountjugaad.com/product/multi-function-beauty-care-5-1-massager-rs-169-shopclues. You’ll see the debug screen at the very top. Can you please make a screenshot (remove sensitive part if there is any) and send it here please?

PS: don’t worry, normal viewers or logged users won’t ever see that screen from your website. It only display for admin.

Thanks ??

Hey!

Any news?

Hello,

Please update the plugin to the latest version, you can now monitor your redirections using the “Preview Redirection” function in your settings page ??

Regards.

hi,
Thank you for updating the plugin, this is what happening now…

urls
/coupons/upto-rs-2500-cashback-domestic-flights-rs-1000-cashback-domestic-hotels-cleartrip
/coupons/get-rs-250-off-on-purchases-above-rs-1249-chumbak-6

Hello!

Okay I see, coupons is a page which is also used in your product permalinks. The plugin found a page which match perfectly with the /coupons/ part of the requested url, that’s why it try to redirect to it.

I’ll perform some testing and update the algorythm as soon as possible to avoid this specific case. Thanks for your patience.

BTW, you told me that redirections are correctly and automatically performed, and only the “Preview URL” actually try redirect to /coupons/. Which sounds weird. Can you please activate the “Debug Mode” and try to reach the said 404 url?

Make sure to be logged in as admin and let me know if you see the debug console.

I’ll keep you updated.

Regards.

Hello…Here are the debug details… https://anotepad.com/note/read/gq2ysc

Hey,

Thanks! I’ll push an update later today ??

Hello,

I just updated the plugin, and it should work pretty nicely with your configuration. Install it, and let me know the results.

Regards.
