Title: 301 Redirection not working Last modified: March 30, 2017 --- # 301 Redirection not working * Resolved [9qksssldk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/9qksssldk/) * (@9qksssldk) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/301-redirection-not-working/) * Hello! I have installed the plugin and everything works like a charm! This is the best country blocking plugin for WordPress available. I have only one problem. When I activate the plugin to block every country except mine, everything works well, but I want the blocked users to be redirected to a different domain (example. com/forbidden). But when I choose the response code to be 301 Moved Permanently and enter the Redirect URL and then test the website from other countries it starts a loop and it keeps accessing the wp-admin folder. I made the test via: [https://tools.pingdom.com/](https://tools.pingdom.com/) Thank you very much! Awesome plugin!

I implemented a logic to avoid “Redirect loop” but it seems not to work. Beside this issue, you can add “Allowed Redirect Hosts” via `allowed_redirect_hosts` filter hook because this plugin uses [`wp_safe_redirect()`](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_safe_redirect). * Please refer “[Plugin API/Filter Reference/allowed redirect hosts](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/allowed_redirect_hosts)“. * One thing I should note is that when you choose “**mu-plugins (ip-geo-block-mu. php)**” as “**Validation timing**” in “**Validation rule settings**” section, you should add your code snippet not into your theme’s `functions.php` but into` drop-in.php` in geolocation API directory. Please refer to [this document](http://www.ipgeoblock.com/codex/validation-timing.html). * Once I closed this thread as resolved, but please feel free to post something you need to this topic. * Again, thank you! * Plugin Author [tokkonopapa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tokkonopapa/) * (@tokkonopapa) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/301-redirection-not-working/#post-8987225) * Dear all, * I add a new document at “[allowed_redirect_hosts](http://www.ipgeoblock.com/codex/allowed_redirect_hosts.html)” in my codex. * Please refer to it. * Thanks. * [iswaribenoit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iswaribenoit/) * (@iswaribenoit) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/301-redirection-not-working/#post-9140966) * I have the same problem ! * Plugin Author [tokkonopapa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tokkonopapa/) * (@tokkonopapa) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/301-redirection-not-working/#post-9141981) * Hi [@iswaribenoit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iswaribenoit/), * > I have the same problem ! * Did you mean that you configured the response code as “**301 Moved Permanently**” and set a different domain into “**Redirect URL**“? And didn’t you register the domain via `allowed_redirect_hosts` filter hook? * Then the same issue might happen. * I already provide enough information in this thread. And I also never know about your skill of WordPress. [Please include much information as possible](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/forum-welcome/#include-as-much-information-as-possible). For example, what did you already do, and what didn’t you do by now. * I appreciate your understanding. * [vedsegaard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vedsegaard/) * (@vedsegaard) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/301-redirection-not-working/#post-9142262) * I way to test it localy, would be fine, så I can see what others will see, but without blocking my self 🙂 * Allso can the redirect be to a page, on same site? * Plugin Author [tokkonopapa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tokkonopapa/) * (@tokkonopapa) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/301-redirection-not-working/#post-9145294) * I’m sorry but I can’t get your point exactly. Do you want to know how do you test on local environment? * If so, you have a different issue from mentioned here. * You know a local server has its own IP address such as 127.0.0.1 or ::1 that are assigned to the [loopback network interface on localhost](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost). And the country code is not assigned to these. * The easiest way to emulate a public server is to put the following code (just for example) into your wp-config.php (of course on your local server!): * `$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = '98.137.149.56'; // yahoo.com` Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘301 Redirection not working’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/ip-geo-block/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=1148568) * [IP Geo Block](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ip-geo-block/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ip-geo-block/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ip-geo-block/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ip-geo-block/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ip-geo-block/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ip-geo-block/reviews/) ## Tags * [301 redirect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/301-redirect/) * 6 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [tokkonopapa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tokkonopapa/) * Last activity: [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/301-redirection-not-working/#post-9145294) * Status: resolved
