# Strange Redirection Issue

 * I’m recreating a website using WordPress, but I’m having a strange issue with
   redirection of a couple of pages.
 * I’m not very far in, so my apologies for it being ugly, but you can see the issue
   [here.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-redirection-issue/www.uviccss.com?output_format=md)
   If you click on “About” or “Events” in the top bar under the banner, you get 
   redirected to sites on the old website. “About” takes you [here](http://uviccss.com/main/banquet.php),
   while “Events” takes you [here](http://uviccss.com/main/events.php). I have no
   idea why it’s happening, since none of the other pages are redirecting.
 * My apologies if this is a common issue, but I found nothing similar to this problem
   when I searched these forums. Please let me know if there is anything else I 
   need to provide you guys to help me figure this out.
 * Thank you!

 * please post your .htaccess code here you can find that in root of your site. 
   seems you have reversed your htaccess code.

 * Hi Pankaj, here’s my .htaccess.
 *     ```
       ErrorDocument 403 /missing.html
       ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
       ErrorDocument 500 /missing.html
       RewriteEngine off
       <IfModule mod_suphp.c>
       	suPHP_ConfigPath /home/uviccss/public_html/php.ini
       	<Files php.ini>
       		order allow,deny
       		deny from all
       	</Files>
       </IfModule>
       RewriteEngine off
       <IfModule mod_suphp.c>
       	suPHP_ConfigPath /home/uviccss/public_html/php.ini
       	<Files php.ini>
       		order allow,deny
       		deny from all
       	</Files>
       </IfModule>
   
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * I think it might be the Rewrite engine lines before the WordPress section starts,
   but I’m not a coder so I wouldn’t know.

   to setting then permalink and press save changes it will create a fresh htaccess

 * I figured out that the issue is with the source code of the [http://www.uvic.css/about](http://www.uvic.css/about)
   page. (view-source:[http://uviccss.com/about/](http://uviccss.com/about/))
 *     ```
       <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
       <html>
       <head>
       <title>UVic CSS</title>
       <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=/main/banquet.php"></head>
       <style type="text/css">
       </style>
       </head>
       <body>
   
       </body>
       </html>
       ```
   
 * The thing is, that code isn’t anywhere in the editor I have for that page in 
   my dashboard. I did some searching, and it seems that WordPress stores the page
   content in the SQL database. Could I find this HTML in there and remove it? I
   just can’t seem to figure out where that source code actually is.

 * do you have a folder name about on website. if you have rename it something else
   it will solve your problem.
