Is it possible to redirect a deleted topic so that the user gets to another page instead to the missing page-view?
e.g. t/xxx to t/yyy
I have tried the redirect function but it doesn’t seem to work (although it works for redirecting a deleted category to a tag). I.e.
c/66 to eg. category_id 2 works.
Did you test the redirect using a test user or as your admin account? The admin would have access to the deleted topic so would land on that, but a regular user should follow the redirect you’ve set up in permalinks. 
Thanks!
Tested as not logged user - ends up in the “Page not found”-view.
Admin - ends up like you say on the deleted topic.
Hmm… Couldn’t get it to work… But then I found out something strange - it seems that Chrome caches redirects? Because when I changed browser then it seems to work… investigating some more…
OK! Figured it out.
If the topic is in a private / non-public category, then redirects seem to be “stopped”. When I moved the deleted topic back to the public category and deleted it from there, then redirect worked…
