Path and Link Broken in Theme Security Handbook

[marcarmengou]

Moving this issue WordPress/wporg-main-2022#435 here as suggested by @pkevan

Original issue:

In the new WordPress.org translation strings I found a broken link to a section of the Theme Handbook that does not yet exist.

• The link:

https://github.com/WordPress/wporg-main-2022/blob/618fd76e47510e15fa0184ccd03d52562c1814f0/source/wp-content/themes/wporg-main-2022/patterns/about-security.php#L40

• Theme security path:

From the complete link address https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/theme-security/theme-security-issues/ the upper section does not exist either /theme-security/

@marcarmengou the page should now work - can you let me know if it doesn't?

Thanks @pkevan. The page is now publicly visible.

On the other hand I see that https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/theme-security/ has a 301 redirect to https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/theme-security/theme-security-issues/ If the redirect is only temporary, perhaps you should use a 302.

Just to confirm if this is correct for you. The only way to access the resource https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/theme-security/theme-security-issues/ is through the link on this page https://wordpress.org/about/security/, since the top page https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/theme-security/ does not exist or is not publicly visible in https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/
