Remove a redirect created by WordPress

Do you have any redirection plugins installed? Do you, in fact, have a page with the slug local-mortgage-advice?

I do have a page using the slug local-mortgage-advice.

And no redirect plugins other than RankMath. I’ve tried installing a few different plugins to try and fix the issue but none have helped and all have been deleted since.

Thanks for your input.

The domain in the “help with” link is different than the domain you added in your initial post.

I did some tests using curl -I, and all URLs in the “help with” domain do a 301 redirect to the other domain. That’s probably done at the server level. And it looks like the nginx configuration is broken in the other domain’s server because all URLs in that domain seem to redirect to themselves. (nginx has issues with WordPress because it doesn’t support .htaccess files.)

@diondesigns thanks for your reply. I accidentally used the wrong link in the “help with” link. This is a deliberate redirect configured in Google domains but is not the issue (appreciate I’ve confused the matter by linking this.)

The issue is that https://www.bellemaisonmortgages.com/local-mortgage-advice redirects to https://www.bellemaisonmortgages.com/ and I can’t figure out what is causing this redirect.

Can anyone make any suggestions:

what plugins do you have installed?

@sterndata
– Asset Cleanup
– Autoptimise
– Elementor – no redirect set up in “replace URL” tab within Elementor
– Essential Addons
– Fluent Forms
– GDPR Cookie Consent
– Inserts Headers and Footers
– OMGF
– RankMath SEO – none set up
– RapidLoad
– Shortcode in Menus
– ShortPixel
– SiteKit
– SiteGround Central
– SiteGround Security
– Slugs Manager – none set up
– Updraft
– Wordfence Security
– Wp Fastest Cash

I have even tried purchasing the Pro version of Slug Manager which is supposed to pick up any old redirects in the database, and it’s not found any.

What happens if you disable WP Fastest Cache and Autoptimize? (Just as a test)

@sterndata still redirects I’m afraid.

Please post your .htaccess file.

Thanks for your help by the way, it’s much appreciate, I’m tearing my hear out with this and have reached the limit of my ability @sterndata

I’m still really suspicious of WPFC.

@sterndata I just tried this:
https://www.wpfastestcache.com/features/redirect-loop/

Didn’t help ??
