I was working on my wordpress website and I accidentally changed the internal URL of the site and accessed it once. Since then chrome automatically redirects to that URL even though I have reverted everything. Everything works fine in every other browser (even chrome incognito) but regular chrome doesn't want to cooperate.

Problem:

  1. I type in mydomain.com
  2. Google redirects me automatically to mydomains.com
  3. I go to mydomain.com/uri. Works fine.
  4. I click on home from mydomain.com/uri which points to mydomain.com and chrome redirects to mydomains.com

I have flushed my DNS and sockets pools in chrome, I have cleared the DNS on windows as well. Not quite sure what else I can do?

  • What happens when you try the domain in a private browsing window? What about other browsers, and their 'private' modes?

  • "Everything works fine in every other browser (even chrome incognito) but regular chrome doesn't want to cooperate." It's in my original question

Browsers these days often times cache redirects. You need to clear your file cache from before your mistaken change. From Stackoverflow

To force clear htaccess/redirect caches in Google Chrome:

  1. Go to Settings > Advanced > Privacy > Clear Browsing Data
  2. Select "Cached Images and Files"
  3. Click Clear Browsing Data
