    Articles - The page isn’t redirecting properly

    What would cause the page not to re-direct properly as seen here; https://www.an-open-line.com/articles

    When you click on the article, you will get the message.

    Have you changed the URL of the Articles page often or that article? The system automatically builds redirects every time you rename a page. We added code in 5.4.0 to collapse these so they don't accumulate and cause this issue but could have missed a couple of instances.

      1. Click Edit Page on your current home page.
      2. Save the page.
      3. Update the URL so it is "forums" or something similar.
      4. Finish Saving.
      5. Edit the Articles Page.
      6. Change its URL to be empty.
      7. Finish Saving.
      8. Update your Navigation tabs to reflect the new URLs of the respective pages.
      You can also create a custom page and use a three column layout with different search modules to display content in those columns. To create a custom page, just click "New Page" in the site Builder menu.

      Here is an example of the Articles page on my test site: https://forums.rabidbadger.io/articles
      To see how it looked, then re-verted it back until I was ready for the change.

    Hmm that shouldn't be enough redirects to trigger this but we would need access to the database via support ticket to look at the routing table.

          Funny thing about this. I reverted back to the articles landing page, and all redirects work fine.

          I have not gone back to default layout to see if problem is still present, though.
