# Redirects not saving!

 * Hi. When I enter a Source URL and Target URL in the Redirection plug in:
 * 1. The URL entered does not get saved (i.e. current item count is 7, it should
   be 8 with the added redirect)
 * 2. The plugin claims the redirect got saved, but I cannot find the particular
   URL redirect in the item list
 * 3. The page does not redirect at all, likely because the redirect does not exist
 * Our previous redirects are still intact. I cannot save a new redirect at this
   time. On a similar thread, the creator asked if our REST API is being cached,
   and while I don’t know how to check whether or not it is, we are indeed using
   WPRocket along with Cloudflare.
 * Can you please tell me what to do about it if caching the REST API is indeed 
   the issue? Thank you.

 * Your REST API (/wp-json/) should be excluded from caching, as should all wp-admin
   pages.

 * Thanks john! In the case of WP-Rocket, is it so simple as to:
    1. Go to WP Rocket
   > Advanced Rules 2. Write “/wp-json/” in the “Never Cache these Urls” section?
 * Thanks,

 * Hi ! Re-opening because writing “/wp-json/” in the “Never Cache these Urls” section
   of WP Rocket > Advanced Rules does not solve, unfortunately, the problem. Am 
   I missing something?

 * I don’t use WP Rocket so I can’t advise there. It might be worth asking WP Rocket
   how to avoid caching wp-json (which is is something that should really never 
   be cached anyway).
 * Of course, the problem may not be connected with this at all.
