Issue with a 301 redirect of a main page

I have an issue with a page that I've created a 301 redirect in URL mapping for. Each time I click on the page it redirects me to my home page instead. I've checked the seo section for the page and the url is correct.

Upon looking at url mapping section I see a redirect in there that was recommended to me by someone in this community as a one time fix for redirecting all my previous wordpress blog/name  to journal/name to save me having to do them all individually. I suspect this redirect is inadvertantly redirecting this page in question to a journal/name even though it was never a blog post however I can't be sure!

The url in question is www.philnunez.com/creative-documentary-wedding-photographers-edinburgh which I've redirected to

www.philnunez.com/edinburgh-wedding-photographer

Upon clicking on the link it takes me to my home page instead but the url is www.philnunez.com/journal/edinburgh-wedding-photographer

Can anyone shed some light as to why this is happening?

Thanks!

Hi @PEN_72,

I'm happy to help. I understand your concern. Below, I've added a few solutions that might be helpful:

Can you please double-check your URL mapping settings to ensure there are no conflicting redirects or unintended configurations.

• Ensure that the redirect from www.philnunez.com/creative-documentary-wedding-photographers-edinburgh  to www.philnunez.com/edinburgh-wedding-photographer  is correctly set up.
  • Format: /OLD-URL -> /NEW-URL 301
    • Check out this video: How to Set Up 301 Redirects in Squarespace.
• After changing the URL, you can use the URL Inspection Tool on Google Search Console to send indexing requests for new URLs.

Thank you guys! Ashamed to say it was user error. I'd set the redirect correctly, but I made a typo in the page link, too may hours looking at a screen!

Thanks again
