 * About a month ago I renamed a couple of pages and then edited my .htaccess file
   with the following:
    Redirect 301 truck-hire/johannesburg [http://kempston.co.za/truck-hire/truck-hire-johannesburg](http://kempston.co.za/truck-hire/truck-hire-johannesburg)
 * I’ve just discovered that when I browse to the old URL I get redirected from:
   
   [http://kempston.co.za/truck-hire/johannesburg](http://kempston.co.za/truck-hire/johannesburg)
   to: [http://kempston.co.za/employment-solutions/johannesburg/](http://kempston.co.za/employment-solutions/johannesburg/)
   instead of: [http://kempston.co.za/truck-hire/truck-hire-johannesburg](http://kempston.co.za/truck-hire/truck-hire-johannesburg)
 * I’ve removed the redirects in the .htaccess file but it’s still doing it!
 * HELP!!! PLEASE!!!

 * Okay, after much poking around I decided to try reinserting the redirects and
   it worked again! In my poking I discovered that my browser (Chrome) was caching
   my .htaccess page so what I was seeing was different to what was actually saved
   in the file. Not sure if it’s an issue with the host (Hetzner) or my browser.

 * Glad it works! For future reference, you may find using a plugin like [Redirection](https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/)
   to be more elegant than editing the .htaccess file.
