I'm trying to fix a test environment with AEM and spotted such an issue: the Publish instance behaves more like an Author. Specifically, a page that is configured in properties to work like a redirection to another page does not actually redirect but displays a message "This page redirects to (link to the target page)" instead.

I have already checked that:

• the run mode set in command line is actually "publish"
• when the page address has a query parameter "?wcmmode=disabled", the redirection works correctly (as if it was called on Author with "View as Published" option)
• the behaviour is the same regardless whether the page is opened as a logged in user or an anonymous one.

Example

Actual behaviour:

• the page [host:publish_port]/content/we-retail.html displays "This page redirects to English"

Expected:

• the page should send 302 Found with redirection to [host:publish_port]/content/we-retail/us/en.html

Has anyone faced such an issue? What could be the root cause and how to fix it?

AEM version is 6.5.21.0.

It seems that I have the solution.  Day CQ WCM Filter - the WCM Mode option should be "Disabled", but it was "Edit".
