WordPress redirects when slug changes, why don’t you respect taht?

    When the slug of a post changes, WordPress performs a 301 redirect from the old slug to the new slug. When your plugin is active, this core feature is broken.

    I find this a bit annoying in website several years old. The redirections from the core need to be discovered again by your plugin.

    There is an import feature on the import/export page to bring those redirects into the plugin.

    Sorry, I missed that feature. Anyway, it seems broken here. The old slug is imported with two slashes in the front and the redirection doesn’t work.

    For exmaple:

    301 //old-slug
    /current-slug

    Then, the redirection from https://example.com/old-slug doesn’t work. All the old slugs has been imported in the same way.

    This will be fixed in the next version.
