Honestly, I was mad at first why my cloaked links wasn’t working till I read this support article, and I believe the issue lies with not refreshing the permalinks.
What I also observed is that you need to visit the Settings -> Permalinks page, and the permalink structure will be flushed.
Though I won’t advise you to update or change your Permalink, for me, it only worked when I used the same setting in the permalink but I click saved again, without changing my old permalink setting.
Just click save and clear the cache. Then any cloaking word you prefer will work, either GOTO, GO or REDIRECT.
