  • Hi,

    It looks like both URLs are the same.

    Hi

    thanks to reply but it is not same, first URL have capital letters and redirect on small letter second URL.

    What I know, all URLs in WordPress are sanitize to lower case. So you can simply delete your redirect, your url will be lower case even if somebody type it with Uppercase.

    Ok I will try then tell you.

    thanks

    I have this problem and my solution is to delete _wp_old_slug to solve.

    please backup your db before do it.

    DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = ‘_wp_old_slug’

    Thanks Danny

    it work for me

    Thanks Danny

    it worked for me

    I wanted to chime in on this thread. My issue is slightly different in that I am not having any post redirection problems… I am having wp-admin redirection errors. Did anyone have admin redirection problems along with the post redirection issues?

    yes, my site automatically updated to 4.4.1 yesterday – I tried to login this morning and couldn’t due to too many redirects error, wtf

    I had to do a complete cPanel restore from backup as I spent hours on this without finding a resolution.

    If/when you find the solution, please post the answer here.

    WTF is right… ugh~!

    This is a slight tangent from the original poster but I wanted to answer the the 4.4.1 questions.

    The issue is accessing /wp-admin/ if you navigate to /wp-admin/index.php the redirect issue doesn’t happen and you can access the dashboard

    Hey BH,

    In my case it didn’t matter if I used wp-admin.index.php or not. They both resulted in a redirect error for me.
