The site is guinea-fowl.com. Every page on the site redirects to the new page except https://guinea-fowl.com/

I have the / and /index.html in the redirects file.

Hi @neil0armitage, thanks for the post.
What web framework is your site built with?
Also if possible can you share a code snippet of your _redirects file for me to help with the debugging?

Thanks.

Hi, the site is built with Publii.
Here is the _redirects

Hi @neil0armitage, thanks for the feedback.
Since you want the root page / to redirect to https://cluckin.net/guinea-fowl-and-their-care.html, kindly remove the redirects on line 1 and 7 which begins with /index.html since it is repeated and incorrect.

The correct line for redirect from root page to https://cluckin.net/guinea-fowl-and-their-care.html is on line 2 which begins with /.

Redeploy again after the changes to see if it works.

Let me know the outcome.

Thanks.

I have updated the redirects file and the issue is still there. I have tried incognito in case it is a browser issue here.

Hi @neil0armitage thanks for the feedback. Try and change the first line to the below to see if it works

http://guinea-fowl.com/ https://cluckin.net/guinea-fowl-and-their-care.html 301!
https://guinea-fowl.com/ https://cluckin.net/guinea-fowl-and-their-care.html 301!

Also kindly check the file to see if there are not repeated redirects.

Thanks.
