 * We’re using Redirection to gradually move to a new blog site. I have entered 
   an URL mapping for every blog post and a generic one for everything else. EXCEPT/
   wp-admin/ ! …or at least so I thought.
 * Now I cannot seem to access anything on my old WP site without being redirected.
 * What can I do?
 * Thx!

 * Hello Pär,
 * If you have access to the File manager, then go to wp-content/plugins/ and rename
   the folder of the redirection plugin.
    So that it will disable the Redirections
   you have set and able to login to the backend. Once you are in, just reinstall
   the plugin and setup the redirections for all the links.
 * Thanks.

 * Thanks for the prompt reply. Are there any other options? A) I don’t have access
   to the File manager and B) I’d rather try other options before I disable the 
   redirection, if only for a short while. (I guess I’ll ruin the stats and logs
   as well, so…)
 * No direct/hidden URL that will bypass the redirection? A parameter?
 * Thanks again,
    -Pär

 * I am not sure, if there is any other option available.
    But you may check with
