      Any way of preventing a re-direct caused by a wordpress plugin?

        Yes go into your dashboard when logged into WordPress. Find plug-ins look for the plug-in that is doing the redirect itself and disable it. Or if it has options which I'm sure it does find the offending redirect and remove that.

        I hope that would've helped you

            If you go to the Plugins category from within the Wordpress Dashboard then you should be able to click 'edit' on the offending plugin in order to remove the code manually that is causing the redirect.  Without knowing exactly which Plugin is causing you grief I can’t give specifics but the redirect code should be fairly obvious.

            Just bear in mind that whenever you update the Plugin the redirect code will reappear and will have to be manually edited out again.

                What is the specific redirect you're looking at, Brett? In some cases, redirects are essential to the way certain functionality works. This can be especially true of security plugins. In which case a judgement call has to be made whether the security feature is more important than the tiny increase in site speed from removing it.

                  I know

                  Hi checked out your plug-in it does not look like the best solution for total security and all honesty you can't get that from a simple plug-in you need to have a hardend server you might want to look into

                  Every one of them of is a far better job protecting your information the one plug and can and I'll have a server-side secure built in

                  My 2 cents
