Old Permalink is Caching – Can't figure out where to clear it

  • I’m dealing with a crazy problem with WordPress and permalinks and I’m unsure of how to solve it.

    Background: I created a page as holder with the permalink /diamond and then I created another page called /diamond-dev to work on content while the place holder was up. Stupid me, instead of copying the content from /diamond-dev into /diamond I renamed /diamond to /diamond-old and the /diamond-dev to /diamond.

    What ended up happening is that /diamond kept on routing to /diamond-old. I’ve tried deleting /diamond-old and emptying to the trash and that did not work.

    I tried saving the permalink structure again. Didn’t work.

    I tried deleting all the post and page revisions. Didn’t work.

    Where is this permalink caching that it keeps directing to the wrong page.

    The url is https://evolvhealth.com/diamond and as you’ll see it redirection to the /diamond-old page.

    I do not have a cache plugin installed or any caching on the server side that I am aware of.

    I’m still running into this problem. I dug through the database and tried to find every possible place it could be found. I deleted all revisions. I manually went through the database and deleted /diamond-old and still it keeps on redirecting to that page.

    We ran into another issue and this started happening after we updated wordpress from 3.4 to 3.5 I believe.

    I’ve never ran into this issue before. Typically if you delete the page then empty the trash then you’re good. But this time even though /diamond-old does not exist but /diamond does, it still redirects to /diamond-old as the SEF url even though it’s the content of /diamond.

    How do I fix this? Any help would be very helpful.
