Same URL but multiple redirects

    Hi,
    after installing your plugin i see this:
    https://axellauer.de/screenshots/redirects.jpg

    As you see: Its always the same URL that is said to be redirected but there are at least 5 different redirect targets.

    The “check redirect” gets this:
    https://axellauer.de/screenshots/redirects2.jpg

    The htaccess does not contain any 301.
    If i check the URL manually i get a completely different redirect, this one: fotoblog/sonstiges/neue-shootings/celis-eyal-am-staatsballett-berlin/

    I have never seen something like this and i have no idea where to look for a solution.
    Maybe you can bring some light into the darkness.

    (Mind:
    The screenshots come from an installation which is my sandbox – and the sandbos is not public)

    Addendum:
    These redirects didnt happen before i installed your plugin (and they dont happen on my live site).
    They just started after i migrated to my sandbox and after i installed “Redirection”

    I have a guess:
    I had your plugin installed a while ago, then i had some trouble and i deactived it.
    Is it possible that there were remains in the Database and as long as your plugin was disabled these remains didnt do any harm but now they do?

    If that guess points in the right direction – how can i fix that?

    kind regards axel

    What is the screenshot of – the list of redirects? The log page?

    If the sandbox is not public then the redirect checker will not function correctly.

    1: List of redirects
    2: Not true.
    – I tried it with disabled maintenance mode. Same results
    – Its not only about the checker – its about the fact that your plugin shows 5 different targets for the same URL

    Emptying the DB-tables seem to “solve” the issue but still the question:
    Where do these issues come from?

    I made it on the public livesite also: Same, same.

    Have you created a ‘random’ redirect? I don’t really have enough information here. Redirection will only ever redirect to the target you specify, so some redirect you have created will cause the above.

    1: No randoom redirect (i dont even know what that is and how do do one)
    2: What more information do you need?
    3: htacess does not contain any 301. “Redirections” neither – at least no visibles in the adminarea

    Can you give a full URL which is doing this?

    Are those URLs being redirected by Redirection? Have you enabled the logging of external redirects?
