Redirect to static page results in blank page

Hi, I noticed there is at least one similar unsolved topic but unfortunately it has been closed.
Out of the 3 redirection methods the redirection to static page is resulting in a blank page. I’m having my arrangement installed into the root as in the following sample:

My homepage: http://myWPsite.com/
Static page: http://myWPsite.com/static.htm

Now if I invoke any existing page in the site it results in a blank page and lands at URL: myWPsite.com
However if I type directly: http://myWPsite.com/static.htm it displays as it should.

Thanks in advance

I am also having the same problem , as a work around I selected the “HTML Entered here” method of redirection and add the following code.
```
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en-US">
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://www.example.com">
        <script type="text/javascript">
            window.location.href = "http://www.example.com"
        </script>
        <title>Page Redirection</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        
        If you are not redirected automatically, follow the <a href='http://www.example.com'>link to example</a>
    </body>
</html>
```
Just replace the 3 instances of “www.example.com” with the website you wish to redirect to.

Hi,

This is probably a better solution, no click required.

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=”REFRESH” content=”0; url=http://www.yourdomain/temporary-index.html”>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Hope it helps.

Best regards,
Dennis

I have tried using this plugin and its not working at all. I have to use simple 301 redirect instead. Any reason why not working?

same problem here, the redirect is not working. I remember this used to work fine some time ago – maybe it got broken from some version or WP onwards.
