The issue of a post URL redirecting to the homepage instead of showing the single post page in WordPress can be caused by various factors, especially when working with custom post types or dynamic content like Pods. Here's a step-by-step approach to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. Flush Permalinks One of the most common causes for custom post type URLs redirecting to the homepage is that the permalinks need to be refreshed. Solution:

Go to Settings > Permalinks in your WordPress admin. Without making any changes, click Save Changes to flush and regenerate the permalinks. This should resolve the issue if it’s related to permalink settings.

2. Check Custom Post Type Registration If you’re using Pods to create custom post types, ensure that the post type is properly registered to support single post pages.

Solution:

Go to Pods Admin > Edit Pods and select the custom post type in question. Under Advanced Options, make sure that the following options are checked: Public (the post type should be public) Has Archive (if you want an archive page for the post type) Rewrite (enable this if you want the post type to have custom permalinks) If the custom post type isn’t public, WordPress won’t generate the single post pages correctly.

3. Check for Conflicting Slugs If you have a custom post type or taxonomy that uses the same slug as a page, post, or taxonomy, it can cause a conflict where WordPress doesn't know which URL to resolve. This could lead to a redirect to the homepage.

Solution:

Ensure that the slug for your custom post type or taxonomy is unique and not conflicting with any other slugs. How to check:

In Pods Admin > Edit Pods, verify the Rewrite Slug under Advanced Options. Make sure it's not conflicting with an existing page or post slug.

4. Check for Template Issues Sometimes the issue could be related to missing or incorrect template files for your custom post type. WordPress looks for a specific template to display single posts of custom post types, and if it’s not present, it might default to redirecting.

Solution:

Ensure that your theme has a template file for displaying the single post of the custom post type. For example: single-{post_type}.php (e.g., single-course.php for a custom post type called course) If you don’t have this template, WordPress will fall back to using single.php. Create a custom template for the custom post type if necessary.

5. Check Redirects in Plugins Another possible cause could be redirects set up by a plugin, like a redirection plugin, caching plugin, or SEO plugin.

Solution:

Check if you have any redirection rules set up in a plugin like Redirection, Yoast SEO, or any other SEO plugin. Deactivate such plugins temporarily and check if the issue persists.

6. Check .htaccess File If you have custom rules in your .htaccess file, it could be affecting how URLs are handled and cause the redirection issue.

Solution:

Go to Settings > Permalinks and click Save Changes to regenerate the .htaccess file automatically. If you're comfortable with it, you can also manually check your .htaccess file for any unusual redirect rules. The default WordPress .htaccess rules is avaiable on internet please do google and verify it.

7. Debug Using Query Monitor If the issue persists, use a plugin like Query Monitor to inspect the queries that are being run when you visit the single post page. This can help determine if the query is being redirected incorrectly.

Solution:

Install Query Monitor and check the request made when trying to access a single post of the custom post type. Look for unexpected behavior, such as incorrect query arguments or redirects being triggered.

Thank you.
