Removed CPT now permalink is redirecting?

Have you flushed your permalinks yet? That may help clear it up.

Hey Michael,

I have flushed the permalink cache, deleted the original page and recreated. Something appears to be stuck and anything I label as /blog/ gets redirected to /burn-blog/blog now. burn-blog was created with CPT. I’ve since removed CPT. Appreciate any further thoughts.

Checked your htaccess file for anything strange that may have been somehow added?

Not from what I’m seeing. There is no redirect plugins installed either. I’ve used CPT before on many other websites and never had this problem.

I’ve readded the plugin, recreated the custom post type, and a post called blog. The redirect error stops and the page shows. What are your steps for removing the post type(deleting) and removing the plugin? Last time I simply deleted the post type and deactivated, deleted the plugin.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
# BEGIN WordPress

</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Thanks

Deleting the post type and then the plugin is about the same now. It would leave the posts themselves and the options in the database, since we don’t presently do any content removal, and the options are only 2 rows, so we hope that remains rather harmless.
