Hi Webflowers! I’m running into some issues with an unwanted redirect. I already removed it from the hosting tab, but the link keeps redirecting me to the now unexisting page. Does anybody know how to fix this? Not sure if a read-only link is useful with a situation like this, but here it is anyway.
Hope somebody knows a solution. Thanks in advance!
We can’t see project settings via a Webflow Share link. You should share the published URI (site and path) where the redirect is triggered so we could see if more than your browser is affected.
The redirects added to the Project Settings → Hosting tab are permanent redirects. The so called 301 redirects. Your browsers and your clients’ browsers that tried accessing that page and got redirects cache those redirects and will always go straight to the old “Target” page.
In order to stop that from happening after you already removed the redirect from Webflow, you need to clear your browser’s cache, and if clients are also facing that issue, you must also inform the client that they should also do it.
For that reason, when I need a redirect, I use client-side redirects with JS or meta refresh tags, because they are temporary and can be easily disabled. You should only use the 301 redirects from Webflow if you are certain that you never want to use that URL again.
