# WordPress URL redirecting randomly…

 * Hello,
 * I’m new to the WP forums, so please forgive me if this is in the wrong forum.
 * I am working on a website for a client, and there’s this really strange bug that
   I’ve never come across before. The client offers indoor plants to their clients,
   and has a gallery on their website displaying the over 300 plants they have available.
 * There are several sub-pages to search for the plants by their specs (such as “
   Genus”). The Genus page is where my trouble is. It is a page template, with a
   bunch of links pointing to the sub-categories of each Genus. Here is a link sample:
 *     ```
       <li><a>/gallery/genus/aglaonema">Aglaonema</a></li>
       ```
   
 * Except, when you click on that specific link it doesn’t take you to that page,
   it for some reason automatically redirects you to this page URL:
 * `<?php bloginfo('url');?>/gallery/silver-ribbons`
 * Which is a specific plant page. I have no idea why it would redirect, but have
   tried to fix it with the Simple 301 Redirects plugin but have had no luck.
 * Any suggestions?!
 * Thanks in advance,
    Josh

 * oh, I almost forgot. If you’d like to see the problem in action, simply go to:
 * [http://www.plantcare.ca/gallery/genus](http://www.plantcare.ca/gallery/genus)
 * and click on “Aglaonema” (second from the top in the left column)
 * Thanks !

 * gallery/genus kicks to [http://www.plantcare.ca/genus](http://www.plantcare.ca/genus)
 * But … Seeing as the title is ‘Aglaonema ‘Silver Ribbons’’ I think it’s the same
   page.
 * Check the post-slug for your Aglaonema page on the wp-admin side. Make sure it’s
   right. And also check your .htaccess for weird redirects.

 * I forgot to look in .htaccess, I’ll do that. Thanks!
