When using a 301 Permanent Redirect, the browser stores this redirect to redirect faster in the future. To solve this, use a 307 redirect when testing and/or clear the browser cache. On most major browsers, the shortcut ctrl + shift + delete can be used for this. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c83ca07290399d85a5d46cac9c43bcca7e0f5b3b81e04beb2edec2fcdfd79c5f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Nice plugin, even if I say so myself 🙂](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-plugin-even-if-i-say-so-myself/)󠁿 [Arevico](https://profiles.wordpress.org/arevico/) September 3, 2016 Nice plugin, even if I say so myself 🙂 [ Read all 1 review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-simple-redirect/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “WP Simple Redirect” is open source software.
