'Too many redirects' error and Permalinks

  • Hi all, I’ve been looking all over the forums, conducting google searches etc but I still cant get this problem resolved…. although I think I know where the problem is now, but it doesn’t work as I would like!

    Anyway, the initial problem: All of a sudden it was impossible to access my site from the front page, although typing in a page address would work. The error I (and others) got was the ‘too many redirects’ one when trying to open the page. It did this for any page being assigned as my front page, except for when the blog was at the front.

    So, I saw some advice on custom permalinks and set my link structure back to default. It now works! But I still get the problem even if I choose a permalink option other than ‘custom’, it only works on default. Any ideas how I may get these ‘pretty’ links to work again..? I did see mention of the host server not having the right software, but I’m with Network Solutions so I’m thinking this is unlikely….??

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    thanks,

    Jay

  • I have done this nd re-uploaded it. Do you think it might be that I have a cname and an A record for the domain? I have to check with the mx manager before I remove the cname to test.

    mobile251, I have no idea about that, but your host tech support might be able to tell you. If you can’t get this resolved, you can email me at kwhite(at)crunchydata.com and I’ll try to help you.

    kilakiwi, I tried your methodology once more and it worked this time! I have no idea what I did differently but all seems to be working as it should be now… Many thanks!

    Jay, I’m happy to hear that it’s working for you now!! You should still click on a few posts in the next day or two to confirm that the fix us “holding.” Mine would work for awhile, then revert until I figured out that my SEO plugin was causing the problem, and after fixing that, I still had to re-save my Settings >> Permalinks again to fix it permanently. Best wishes!

    Great, thanks for the tip Kim. I’ll do a double check tomorrow!

    OK, I finally got this fixed. It turns out that my SSL was installed incorrectly. I determined this when I realized that my 301’s were working to http pages but not https pages.

    After many painful phone calls with Network S.O.L.-utions I got this resolved. Now it’s working.

    Although, concurrently I upgraded the WordPress Https plugin and it now doesn’t put a forward slash before child pages in the URL. Since it is a brand new site I was able to just make all secure pages 1st level pages with no harm done.

    I had same problem fixed with my plugin

    I had the same problem…I had to go to permalink and disable category

    Go to php my admin (database). Click on the options table. It might be wp_options or whatever table prefix you use. Click on the SQL tab at the top of the page.

    Run this query:
    SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'active_plugins';

    Delete contents form the row returned by the query(all your doing is deactivating all your plugins).

    Click GO.

    Refresh your site. Log in. Enable the plugins one by one to see which one was causing the problem.
