I have a localhost version of the site that has all the plugins I used on the live site plus others I was testing. I had never installed SEO Redirection on that localhost site, so I was hoping that if I installed it I might get the same results as when I installed on another live WP site and the redirection box text worked.
So I installed it, and the frozen link is still there, just with the localhost address, but with the same *page* link as the frozen live site link. How could that be? Then I noticed that I have All In One SEO installed and that the page that All In One uses as a preview example is the same page link that’s frozen in the SEO Redirection box. From what I can tell, All In One just chooses a random page for the preview because the preview is the same for all pages. Or perhaps not– perhaps All In One *should* be changing its preview to match the page being edited, but it’s not. I don’t know.
Thinking that the problem might be with All In One, I deactivated and uninstalled that plugin, deactivated and uninstalled SEO Redirection (including the data), logged out, closed my browser, and shut down my localhost server (Xampp)to make sure nothing was cached. Then I restarted everything and reinstalled SEO Redirection. When I got back to the WP pages I discovered that the frozen link was still there.
So why would both All In One and SEO Redirection be pointing to the same page– All In One for it’s preview and SEO Redirection for the box?
