Big problem with permalink redirection

    I just encountered a huge bug and the end of a big project I’m working on with other people. I need help bad.

    The site is http://janiebryant.com/w

    The bug is that 3 days ago and for whatever reason, the permalink redirection system stopped working correctly. I was installing a mailchimp plugin and I guess it started from there since I didn’t noticed it until a couple hours later when I came back on the site and clicked on a page link.

    I’m using the /%year%/%postname%/ structure and it now causes every page link (event/about/contact) to redirect back to the homepage.

    If I switch back to default permalink structure, its the custom post types (press/red-carpet) that stop working.

    I tried all the combinations of permalink structures and each one was causing at least one type of links to stop working and automatically switch back to the homepage.

    Weird because I have a 404.php in my template.

    Sometimes if you click on a custop-post-type link (red-carpet/press), the browser triggers an error for “too much redirections” wich I’ve never seen before.

    I tried switching themes also and the problem is still the same.

    My .htaccess contains the classic # BEGIN WordPress […] #END WordPress.

    If someone could please help me, this is the first time I ever encountered such a weird bug in all my WordPress experience.

    Thanks in advance!

    Looks like you may have the plugin conflict deactivate mailchimp and see if that clears the problem.

    Yeah did that already!

    I also transferred everything on a fresh install but the bug still comes back.

    Did you try and reset permalinks

    If you mean visiting the permalink section, yes I did it. I changed the structure from default to /archive/%post_id%. Tried all structures shown on http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Using_Permalinks

    I feel it’s a glitch in the Database…?

    Have you tried to deactivate all plugins change default settings in permalinks as it has to be something that conflicting and see if your pages work if they do activate one plugin at time and see which one is conflicting.

    Yeah. I deleted all plugins & did all that already. Thx for the tip but I fear its deeper than that.

    UPDATE: I managed to make everything work except for categories & paged content (i.e. “Older posts”) using the /%category%/%postname%/ permalink structure. I’m getting there!… maybe…

    Just installed Redirection and immediately all my permalinks stopped working. Well, maybe not immediately : i added empty .htaccess to httpdocs and created Apache group with a redirector that checks for a specific referring website URL.

    Now is my entire site is 404!!!
    help!!!
    I expect 50.000 visits starting in 5 hours

    I deinstalled Redirection but still all links go to 404
