Help with pre-existing page not redirecting plus one other issue

First off, THANK YOU for taking up this plugin and keeping it going, I appreciate it!

Your plugin (and the old one) work great when I use quick redirects for non-existent pages, however, when I try to redirect a pre-existing page, I can’t get it to redirect at all.

I created a new page, put “Redirecting” in the content, selected “Make redirect active” and put the forwarding url, then made sure to make it a “Meta Redirect” with 1 second. I published it and tested it out..

The browser shows nothing but white, completely blank, nothing loads and nothing redirects. I go into the plugin’s meta settings and check “Load Page Content?”, it then loads the site but still doesn’t redirect. If I remove all redirect settings within the page then everything loads as normal.

I went back into meta settings and changed “body” to “redirectpage” and created a new CSS class in my css that just turns the text bold. Wrapped that tag within a span tag around “Redirecting” in the content, but it still doesn’t redirect.

Thoughts?

Second issue is for some reason your plugin (and the old one) are ignoring one quick redirect I have set up. It just happened to be the first one I tested out after switching to your plugin, but I get a 404 error. I went into the settings and it’s entered correctly. I deleted it and re-entered it and tried again, same problem. Don’t have a problem with any other redirect from what I can tell. This is for a link that is no longer valid, so there is no post or page for it.

Help?
Thanks!
