Hi there

a friend had a site build a year ago in wordpress on apache with cpanel

part of this build included a redirect from the homepage to a particular post

I have been searching for this redirect to remove it but can not find where its set up

i have checked

.htaccess
any php redirects in the template or index file
httpd.conf file
even the set up at godaddy where the domain is registered

any other ideas where it could be

thank you

Did you look at those cPanel settings?

Also, there can be many Apache config files in addition to httpd.conf, and .htaccess files in any or all subdirectories -- You'll have to check each of them.

yep checked cpanel settings

looked at every conf file and still cant find it

is their a tool or script that would trace the redirect and show where it happens, so i can find the file etc it is in

I don't know of any specific tool, but you could grep your config files and server- and client-side scripts on the server for the words "redirect" and "Moved Permanently" (case-insensitive) and then go through the list of 'hits' for those terms.
