Redirect Mistake... How Do I Fix This?

Post by Number1SuperGuy »

I have a blog site using WordPress, and I wanted to make a custom link in my navigation menu. I figured I'd make a regular page (to get the text I want in the navigation menu) and then use a 301 redirect to go where I want to go, rather than a page in WP.

Well, I set up the 301 redirect and suddenly and inexplicably the home page of my site now redirects to a completely unrelated page. I deleted the redirect code from my .htaccess file but it's still redirecting for anyone who visits the site.

If this doesn't get fixed my site is ruined, what do I do?!

Here's a link http://www.ftwins.com - it shouldn't redirect at all but it does :(

completely delete your .htcaccess file and it should get rid of the problem. If it doesnt please post the code so we can take a look at it and help you out

I got it fixed, apparently there was a plugin saving my redirection information in WordPress, what a pain... Oh well, thanks for wanting to help :)

(thank GOD I figured this out before Google re-indexed my homepage...)
