Classic SharePoint list view redirecting to home page

In Classic SharePoint sites, if a public view redirects to the homepage, it usually means a custom redirect or script was deliberately added by the original site builder to block certain views (often admin‑only) because Classic sites allow customizations. That behavior isn’t native to SharePoint itself. To stop it, you’ll need to remove or adjust the redirect logic in the site’s master page, page layout, or script injection on list forms.

• If the redirect happens only for one list (or certain views of that list):  It’s very likely a script tied to that list’s forms (e.g., DispForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx, or a custom view page). Developers sometimes drop JavaScript into those pages via a Script Editor or Content Editor web part to enforce redirects.
• If the redirect happens across all lists and views in the site: That points to a master page customization (or page layout) in the Classic site. Redirect logic added at the master page level will affect every list view, because the master page wraps all content.

You can follow these options to investigate it

• Open the affected view in Classic mode: Use browser dev tools (F12) to check if a redirect script is firing.
• Inspect the page:  Look for Script Editor/Content Editor web parts or inline JavaScript.
• Check Master Page:  In Site Settings > Master Page Gallery, see if custom master pages are in use. If so, open them in SharePoint Designer or download to inspect for redirect code.
