Redirects not working

    I’m having a problem with my page URL for:

    https://imagesbyeduardo.com/main/about

    That used to be the literal permalink, but when I renamed it to:

    https://imagesbyeduardo.com/main/about-los-angeles-ca-wedding-photography/

    and used the Redirection plugin to map the old URL to the new one, the shorter version no longer works. Failures range from long wait times on the browser, never getting to the page, to an error in the browser saying that the redirect could not complete.

    I’m also noticing that modifying the page’s permalink back to the old name doesn’t let me (has to be about-2), and going back to the new name has the same problem… almost like the previously used permalinks are locked somehow. Wondering if that has something to do with it, and if there’s some database trick I need to play here to get those back.

    Alright, got it to work now… two things:

    1) Deleted all the other “about” test pages I had created from the trash (Empty trash)

    2) Emptied the cache in my browser.

    Tested on 3 PCs, and voila, all is well.
