301s Not Working

I just re-checked and most of mine are 404s. Some redirect to random pages with similar slugs and some pages, which were created as backups, don’t redirect at all.

And I didn’t touch anything.

Tried to see if using Apache or Nginx for this would change anything…nah.

Tried to see if changing 301 to 308 would change anything…nah.

Disabled all other plugins, to see if anything changes…nah.

And here are three examples of how it – sadly – does not work.

Example #1

I have this page:

http://invisible-movement.net/press/2015-0506-groove

and a 301 redirect for it to

http://www.groove.de/2015/05/01/making-of-john-frusciante-aka-trickfinger-on-after-below/

It just doesn’t happen and all I get to see is the page on my own site with a backup of the article from the other site, which is…uncomfortable, to say the least, as those backups should not be public.

Example #2

It does not work for modified posts either.

http://invisible-movement.net/press/infectious-grooves

should redirect to http://invisible-movement.net/press/1999-09-guitarpart and I get a 404 instead.

Example #3

This page here was created as a blank one, because the song is known under two titles.

http://invisible-movement.net/song/cut-myself-out

With the 301 I made, it’s supposed to redirect to

http://invisible-movement.net/song/leave-all-the-days-behind

and it doesn’t happen.
