Yoast XML Sitemap causes serious problem

  • Whenever I activate the Yoast XML Sitemap, single posts will not load. I get the following error message:

    “The page isn’t redirecting properly

    Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”

    After a thorough investigation, I have found only two ways to prevent this bug:

    1. I can disable the Yoast sitemap.

    2. I can stop using “postname” permalinks, and use the default numberic ID permalinks instead.

    Neither of these “solutions” is acceptable to me.

    Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, so I can have my Yoast sitemap and still use postname permalinks?

    New information about this bug. I went to Google Webmaster Tools, and fetched a page on the blog, https://tanning17.tropicalhouseplants.net/tanning-news-snippets/ . Here is the error:

    Downloaded HTTP response:
    1 HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
    2 Server: nginx/1.6.1
    3 Date: Wed, 03 Sep 2014 04:14:42 GMT
    4 Content-Type: text/html
    5 Content-Length: 0
    6 Connection: keep-alive
    7 Location: https://tanning17.tropicalhouseplants.net/tanning-news-snippets/

    Somehow, the page has been redirected to itself, obviously causing an endless loop.

    This clearly shows what is happening. But the question remains: WHY is this happening?

    I now find that – even with the Yoast XML Sitemap being disabled – the webpage is being redirected to itself in an endless loop. This occurs whenever the permalink is anything other than the default, “/?p=xxx”.

    This is causing all external links to webpages on my blog to be redirected to the home page. It must be disconcerting for my visitors to click this link in Google search: tanning17.tropicalhouseplants.net/how-to-tan-armpits/ , and end up on the tanning17 homepage, with the offending link still visible in the Address Bar. What do they do now? Most will probably give up!
