Troubleshooting
The redirect doesn't happen
The redirect doesn't happen
Your browser may have cached the old page, especially after a 301. Test in a private window. Check the slug matches the old address exactly; it’s case-sensitive.

The page keeps reloading (too many redirects)
The destination redirects back to the old address, or two redirects point at each other. Delete one of them. If you use WordPress, also check redirect plugins and the site address in the WordPress Toolkit.

I want http:// to always go to https://
You don’t need a redirect for that. Turn on Force HTTPS instead: see Manage SSL certificates and HTTPS.
