Redirect Issues

Hi Jason,
I am trying to get
http://goldenruleproject.org/posterto go to here
http://goldenruleproject.org/formulations-posters/I have a Redirect Template in use to do this.
In the URL of the Page is the “/poster”The title of the page is “redirect poster” and as I understand this, the Page’s Title does not need to be the URL that we are wanting to redirect (which is http://goldenruleproject.org/poster).
Anyway, I assume the Title does not matter.The only text inside the Text of the Page is the URL to where we want users to go when they try to go to /poster.
The redirect URL is typed into the Page’s Text field as
http://goldenruleproject.org/formulations-postersBut, here is what is resolved when we view the Page that as the Redirect Template:
http://formulations%20posters/In addition, all of my other redirects are failing with the same symptoms.
Something is wrong, and I can not figure it out. Please let me know if there is a fix for this.

Yeah, the title doesn’t matter. In the content of the page, just put the full URL where you want the current page redirected to. So, you’d put this:
http://goldenruleproject.org/formulations-posters/
Yes, this is what is there and the odd result is what we get:
http://formulations%20posters/Any ideas on how to fix?

then we see the broken action.http://goldenruleproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Screen-Shot-2016-02-24-at-11.53.33-AM.png
Is the screen shot for the top part of the screen.
Lower down we see the slug = poster
Redirect is the PageTemplate(Such a mystery… Seems like something is stripping out the dash and replacing it with a space and also stripping out the domain name.)
What happens when you change that page to the “default” page template and try to visit it? You should see a standard page with the URL displayed in the content area — Is that the result? Or are you directed somewhere else?
Do you have any other page or post, of any post type, with slug “poster”? Does “poster” correspond to anything else you’ve setup? Like a custom post type or taxonomy?
Have you gone through third-party plugins that may be filtering content?
