Default redirection behaviour when slug chnages
-
Hi,
I’m experiencing some really odd behaviour when trying to change the slug for my Buddypress group directory (under which all my BBpress forums are housed) and redirect traffic.
My set-up is: BP 9.1.1; BBp 2.6.6, WP 5.8.1
Short explanation:
- traffic to a pre-change (/[old]/[groupname]) group url is being redirected to (/[new]/[groupname]/forum)
- This happens regardless of whether:
- There is a specific redirect in place
- There is a regex redirect in place (/[old]/(.*) to /[new]/$1/)
- There is no redirect at all
- My redirect provider – Rank Math – can’t explain this.
I’ve not modified my hta, and the only other redirect rules in page on the site relate to post-login behaviour. It seems there’s something deep within Buddypress, BBpress or WordPress which is driving this, but I have no idea what.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this abd how to address it? I dare not make this change on my live site without resolving and having a clear idea what’s behind it.
Appreciate any suggestions…
