      Hey guys, I have a bizarre situation on my hands.

      I have a URL that is being wonky.

      1. The url is redirecting to another url and the 301 redirect is not in my htaccess.

      2. There is a 301 redirect in my htaccess but is being overwritten by something else, i.e. whatever is happening in above.

      So basically URL A should be redirecting to URL B but instead its going to URL C.

      I know we were not hacked, it's not redirecting to a strange bizarre domain. I have also disabled all of our plugins that redirect (to my knowledge)

      Any thoughts would be great!

        A few thoughts:

        • Install the browser extension Ayima, which will let you see if this is actually the result of multiple redirects. There are other ways to see this same info, but the Ayima extension makes it really simple to see the multiple hops, when there are.
        • You might try to sequence the existing redirect that is in your htaccess file (A to B) all the way up, or all the way down. There is a sequence followed (most specific to most general).
