i did. i found the plugin that was causing the problem. The Redirection plugin. I deactivated it. I then auto-updated the latest version via the admin panel for this plugin, but it still didn’t fix the problem. So I contacted the makers, and they responded promptly. It was helpful:
Redirection is only activated when you have a redirection for a particular URL. I would imagine that somewhere in one of your Redirection groups you have a URL that is catching some links it shouldn’t be – you should delete anything you do not need. Pay particular attention to regular expressions as they can be very greedy.
Not sure where my Redirection groups is located though. I”ll find out, but if anyone know, let me know, thanks.
