[Bug / Issue] changing forum url problem

[Webzist]

I used site editor to edit page url for some forums, now I wanted to edit them again, it says successful but it doesn't change.
I tried clearing cache
I think it's saving something in the DB because if I try to resubmit my changes it shows me an error saying duplicate url ...
My forum version is 5.6.4
How can I fix this?

Old URLs should actually continue working and the system will automatically redirect to the new ones.

Note: Changing the URL of a parent channel will not change the URL of its children.

What do you mean specifically about doesn't change? Can you outline the steps you're taking to verify the change? Can you provide old and new URLs as examples?

Let me explain with an example :

This is the url when I created the channel A : domain.com/forum/aaaa
Then I changed this to : domain.com/aaaa
everything was ok until here

Then I decided to change it to domain.com/axxx
But what I'm seeing in forum is domain.com/aaaa
if I open domain.com/axxx it will redirect to domain.com/aaaa

No matter how many times I do this change, it's stuck at domain.com/aaaa

And this problem is not only for one channel, this happens for all my channels

Can you run the query below and share the output?

SELECT routeid, redirect301, prefix, regex FROM routenew WHERE redirect301 NOT NULL;

You can run queries within the vBulletin Admin Control Panel by going to Maintenance -> Execute SQL Queries.

To run Queries in the Admin Control Panel you need to edit your config.php file and add your user ID to the Can Run Queries section. It looks like:

	//	****** USERS WITH QUERY RUNNING PERMISSIONS ******
	//	The users specified here will be allowed to run queries from the control panel.
	//	See the above entries for more information on the format.
	//	Please note that the ability to run queries is quite powerful. You may wish
	//	to remove all user IDs from this list for security reasons.
$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = '';

Place your user id between the single quotes.

there was an error in your query, I changed it to this :

SELECT routeid, redirect301, prefix, regex FROM routenew WHERE redirect301 IS NOT NULL;

and this is the result I got :
