 * How do I remove all traces this plugin might have written to the database?
 * Is there an automated way?

 * There is no automated way, but all the data is stored in the meta data and a 
   few options. All the meta fields start with ‘_pprredirect’ and the options start
   with ‘ppr_’, except one which is called ‘quickppr_redirects’.
 * If you need help, let me know and I’ll give you a hand on what you need to do
   to remove them all.

 * is that meta data in the database? or elsewhere. I have the same problem and 
   am trying to remove all redirects and obviously need to get more nitty gritty.
 * Thanks,

 * Yes it is in the database.
    You could add something like this to theme functions.
   php file to get rid of everything:
 *     ```
       <?php
       add_action('init','clear_ppr_data');
       function clear_ppr_data(){
       	global $wpdb;
       	if(get_option('deleted_ppr') != '1'){
       		//check if option exists, if not, then delete meta
       		$sqlmeta = "DELETE FROM $wpdb->postmeta WHERE meta_key LIKE '_pprredirect%';"
       		$sqloptions = "DELETE FROM $wpdb->options WHERE option_name LIKE 'ppr_%' OR option_name = 'quickppr_redirects';"
       		$wpdb->query($sqlmeta); //clear meta
       		$wpdb->query($sqloptions); //clear options
       		add_option('deleted_ppr','1'); //add our check option
       	}
       	return;
       }
       ?>
       ```

 * I tried implementing the PHP code above directly at the top of my functions.php
   file, with no luck. Do I need to attach any code around it?
 * Unfortunately, I don’t have access to the database where I can manually extract
   whatever was installed in my database.
 * Im using Worpress 3.4.1 but may not be using PHP 5 (not sure)
 * Original Problem: Installed the Quick redirect plugin, attempted to redirected
   a page but the redirect kept changing my permalink. I UNinstalled the plugin 
   but the redirect still occurs.
 * I was trying to redirect …/blog/about TO /blog/about/how-we-work
 * However, now …/blog/about/ REDIRECTS to …/about/ which doesn’t exist.
 * Thanks in advance for any help I can get on this !

 * You should just be able to add the code to the very top of the functions file
   and it should work to get rid of all installed items.
 * On the other issue with the `/blog/about/` going to `/about/`, that is generally
   due to pages or post with the same name – usually sub-pages. What happens is 
   WordPress finds the first matching item in the permalinks when there is another
   page/post by that name (even thought the category or parent page may be different).
 * Try rebuilding your permalinks (just go to Permalinks under Settings and it will
   rebuild them). Then you might be able to create the redirect successfully.
 * As a last resort, you could always create an `about` page with no content and
   have it redirect to the `how-we-work` page using the plugin – and since WP is
   redirecting the `/blog/about/`, you would get there in a round about way (it 
   would be seamless to the user – but WP would do a few redirects).
 * Best of luck
    Don

 * Hey Don, thanks for the response. Unfortunately, your recommendations did not
   work.

 * This problem did not occur until after I installed the plugin, attempted to redirect**/
   blog/about/** to its child page **/blog/about/how-we-work/**. The URL would then
   take out the **/blog/** part and I would receive the following error “Assembler
   error
    Can’t find a definition for “error_404″ in the file data/pages.txt.”
 * Then I uninstalled the plugin and same problem occurs. There are NO other pages
   or posts causing this. I deleted all relevant pages, reset permalinks, and problem
   still occurs.
 * Ill keep searching :/
