Redirects

[kennethfeldman]

Hi Jason,

I have chosen the REDIRECT template and pasted in the FULL URL of my intended page (located within my own website).

But I get an error (as if only part of the intended page’s URL is being requested):

This site can’t be reached
oncology%20massage%20program’s server DNS address could not be found.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

BUT I suspect that this may have something to do with the new-ish (since 4.4) built-in WP Embed feature which automatically tries to embed a page excerpt of any plain-text URL pasted into any page.

Any idea what’s happening?

Hi,

Can you show me a screenshot of your Edit Page screen so I can see exactly what you’re doing?

[kennethfeldman]

Sure.

I have set up a fresh JS install, with only the TB plugins, and get the same issue.

Sample Page should redirect to Another Page, but gets error.

See redirect-source page using redirect template:

Ok, I can see why it’s happenning. I’ve got it fixed for the next update. Here’s what I’ve changed:

Sweet!

So I’ll just go edit template_redirect myself for now.

Thank you! That was certainly it.

I edited the parent theme file — which I’ll let get overwritten with the next update.

Thank you!
