I have an issue on a Magento site I'm working on with a 302 redirect. Something in the site/theme is causing a 302 redirect on the site.com/blog link to go to the homepage if I have the theme's default blog module disabled. I'm trying to get that url to use as the homepage of a WordPress install but this native module has hijacked it and I can't find where it's happening.
If the module is on, it's fine and uses the link but when you turn it off, it redirects. I'm guessing this is native to the module but for some reason I can't seem to change that behavior and disable it entirely (ideally it would be good if I got a 404 error when the blog module was off because at least I know that the URL is available for me to use).
With the module off, I've visited the page on Chrome and listened in on the Network tab of Developer Tools. A 302 redirect does appear.

I know that 302s can be caused by .htaccess files so I SSHed into the server and used find
to locate all .htaccess files on the server (and found 17) but none of them had any redirect code that would affect that page.
Is there any way to detect where/why/how the 302 redirection is happening? There is no documentation on this issue for this module/plugin, I've looked everywhere and even contacted the developer but haven't heard back.
Thanks for your help.
