I just want to add something that I just figured out:
If I publish a new post with the original URL, for example /raging-bull-sister-casinos/ then the Redirect DOES work and redirect to the Affiliate Post with the new URL : /raging-bull-slots/ , even if I move the post to Draft, the redirection continues to work. I don’t understand the logic behind it, and I’d really like to have the Affiliate post have the original URL and eliminate the redirection altogether.
I’d appreciate anyone’s thoughts on this. thanks
