# Double redirections

 * I am using the REDIRECTION plugin and it works fine for me.
 * Recently, on one specific website, I have new redirections, created most probably
   automatically by the plugin:
 * The first redirections I created are the full URL: domain + slug.
    The new redirections
   are the slug only.
 * Aldo, reviewing the traffic, I can see that all the traffic is going to the “
   slug only” redirection, while the full URL has no traffic at all or vey low traffic,
   compare to the slug only redirections/
 * Also
    I have new redirection, also not created by me: The source is: “/wp-admin/
   post.php?post=11972&action=edit” And the target is a real page in the website.
   Also – redirection I did not created.
 * My questions are:
    What are the new redirections? Should I create redirection
   with the slug only, instead of the full URL? Should I delete the full URL redirection?
   Can I delete the full URL redirection?
 * I looked to an article to understand this better, could not fine one.
    If there
   is an article that can help me better understanding, can you please *also* attach
   a link to the article? Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdouble-redirections%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * The plugin only creates redirects if you have the monitoring option enabled, 
   and it only does so for post where you change the permalink. The one URL you 
   gave is not one it will auto create as it is not a permalink.
 * There are a lot of other questions and few details, so it’s not really possible
   to say. Can you provide examples?
