# Why isn’t my redirect working after I created it ?

###### If your redirect isn’t taking visitors where you expect, don’t panic — most failures come down to a few common causes. Below is a complete, practical checklist you can follow to find and fix the problem.

### All possible reasons a redirect may not work :

1. The “From” URL doesn’t return a 404 :

Our app currently supports 404 redirects only. For the redirect to work correctly, the original URL must return a 404 error.

2. Redirect wasn’t saved or synced to Shopify : 

Sometimes the redirect exists only in the app and hasn’t synced to Shopify’s system.
Confirm the redirect appears in the Shopify redirects tab and perform a re-sync to make sure all redirects are synced.

3. URL is Ignored in Nabu Redirect Manager :

Ignored URLs are excluded from redirects. Go to the Ignored tab in the app, remove the URL from Ignored, and create the redirect again.

4. Browser caching issues :

Old cached pages can prevent the redirect from showing properly. Open the URL in a private/incognito window to verify if the redirect is actually working.
