Redirect issue

[agentmorris1]

http://www.themorrisagency.co.uk/wedding-band redirects to http://www.themorrisagency.co.uk/wedding-band-cost-much-hire/

NO canonical in place. Nothing in Htaccess. I cant think where else to look to find it.

If I amend it to http://www.themorrisagency.co.uk/we it still redirects.

Any ideas? I have spent way too long on it now

Hello!

Were you able to fix it? To sum up the other answers, this could be a few things:

• a redirect in your .htaccess file

• a redirect in a plugin (yoast, or a separate redirects plugin - some plugins even create redirects automatically)

• or autogenerated by your theme/wordpress

I would work in that order looking for it,

Thank you

It is definitely a Wordpress issue. Take a look at your functions.php file for your theme. You can add some code to turn off this feature.

If you have this feature on, which it usually is by default, it will redirect to the closest matching URL. Like so:

https://www.example.com/contact

will redirect to

https://www.example.com/contact-us (the actual page URL)

remove_filter('template_redirect', 'redirect_canonical'); is the code you need to add to the functions.php. But make sure you read up on it before disabling it, as it does have some benefits.

This is built-in functionality in Wordpress, matching closest existing URL.
