Yeah, setting ‘0’ back to ‘5’ fixed the problem. Again . . . weird . . . because in an older release my problem was exactly the opposite: setting it to ‘5’ gave the ‘too many redirects’ error.

Steve

I took a look at the differences between 0.8.3 and 0.8.4. They were minor changes, but one of them altered the number of redirects:

sekula@handy:~/tmp$ diff wpgplus-0.8.3/gplus.php wpgplus/gplus.php
36c36
< ‘redirection’ => ‘5’,
—
> ‘redirection’ => ‘0’,
46a47,49
> if(is_wp_error($buf)) {
> wp_die($buf);
> }

I am going to try setting that back to ‘5’ and see if that recovers the old behavior. Weird. My old problem was that this number was too high, and setting it to ‘0’ made this problem go away…

Clearly, there is something pathological going on with Google+.

Steve

I seem to only get the “too many redirections” error intermittently. There isn’t a clear pattern as to when or why it happens. I can see if there are any log files that contain useful information.

Steve

That’s correct; when I set redirection back to 5 I get at least five posts to my G+ stream.

Steve

(Oh, in the above message, the support forum rendered my “ampersand quot semi-colon” as actual quotes . . . didn’t think about that before I posted it written in HTML code…

This business with unicode being published literally to G+ is not hard for me to initiate. If I Add a Post from the Dashboard for my blog, then just type something like:

“abcd”

and post it, the quotes get interpreted as "abcd"

Perhaps it has to do with the way my posts are encoded behind the scenes in WordPress? Perhaps this is some WordPress setting regarding character encoding… I’ll see if there is an obvious setting in here…

Steve

Wait . . .I spoke too soon. Yes, I got that new error from WP about “too many redirects,” but my posts to G+ went through.

So, to report results from your original test suggestion, I did try setting redirects to 0 and got only 1 post to G+ (perfect!). I set it back to 5 and confirmed that I then got multiple posts to G+ (6 in total, though the last one was delayed from the first 5, for some reason…)

Steve

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

After I changed the redirection parameter from 5 to 0, I got an error from WordPress telling me “Too many redirects.” This was new. So I set 0 back to 5 . . . and, of course, still got the same error.

So now I seem to have a new problem that is independent of the original, and preventing me from testing your suggestion…
