Title: Post redirecting Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Post redirecting * [pennysstuff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aroundadelaide/) * (@aroundadelaide) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-redirecting/) * I am having an issue where when I try to access one post it is redirecting me to another post. I have disabled all plugins and changed themes but the issue is still there. Not sure yet if it is only this page. * When access the offending page via the dashboard and go to the editing screen I can see the correct entry/code, but when I click Preview or View Post it displays the incorrect post. * Where do I look to try and work out why this is happening? * Thanks in advance.

Renaming the slug/ permalink did stop the redirect, changing the name back to my naming convention started the redirect once again so deleting and recreating seemed to be the only option. * [jalinb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jalinb/) * (@jalinb) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-redirecting/#post-6838534) * I am having the same issue with 25+ posts redirecting to other posts with similar slugs, even if they are in different categories. * > **Example:** > – [http://www.site.com/some-category/some-post-3/](http://www.site.com/some-category/some-post-3/)– > [http://www.site.com/different-category/some-post-2/](http://www.site.com/different-category/some-post-2/) > **Both get redirected to:** > – [http://www.site.com/another-category/some-post/](http://www.site.com/another-category/some-post/) * I have found other people posting having the same issue, but I have found no fix yet, besides renaming the slugs to have no similarities. * **Other Posts:** 1.

Even posts that don’t have similar names, but are in the same category. It’s getting quite annoying to be honest. * [dev_danidhariya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dev_danidhariya/) * (@dev_danidhariya) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-redirecting/#post-6838552) * Hello Friends, * **in your site any where like this type of code. find this type code and remove. * ``` $category = get_the_category(); $category_id = $category[0]->cat_ID; $relocate = get_category_link($category_id); wp_redirect($relocate); OR header("Location:".$relocate); ``` * Regards Dev.
