Redirect loop caused by common word

You’ll have to share the redirect patterns that you using. If you weren’t using regex, and were just making a regular redirect from /test/test-loops/ to /test/, the new-loops should not redirect.

Did you check the log to make sure that was happening? Maybe it is something else. For instance, try turning off Redirection, and see if new-loops still redirects.

Here is my htaccess info

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
Redirect 301 /test/test-loops /test/
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Turned off Redirection and I still get /test/new-loops trying to redirect. Log shows -loops being grabbed by rules above.

Okay, so it isn’t the plugin. Please mark this thread as resolved. ^_^

As for the odd behavior you’re seeing, are you sure the new page exists with that exact URL? If I had to guess, I’d say that you were activating the canonical URL feature in WordPress.

To further debug it, I’d restore my .htaccess to its regular state, sans redirects, and see if you are still getting the redirect. From there you should be able to take it to the general forum for troubleshooting.

Thanks for the help!

The loop still exists, but I think you are correct in regard to wordpress establishing a canonical feature.

Take care
