just to narrow down the problem and help us debug the issue is it possible to try the following temporarily:
– deactivating all other plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems
So I can’t disable the plugins on the live site as it a rather large hospital site. I did a full backup and recreated the entire site on a staging server. I was forced to disable the https stuff but everything else is there and the problem is gone. Here is the strange part; I figured the problem was the https plugin so I disabled it on the live site and the problem remains. I’m thinking there is something going on with their hosting. Are there any known incompatibilities with php versions or databases?
I’ll post the server info in a bit.
Thanks,
Apache/2.2.31 (Unix)
PHP Version 5.4.45
mySQL 5.5.47
Does this info help?
It sounds like there’s a faulty redirect going on somewhere. Is there something weird about the .htaccess file on the live server?
Here is the htaccess. Look weird?

Everything under # END WordPress is a redirect. Theoretically those rules shouldn’t interfere with anything other than the pages they refer to, but you never know.
If would be worth temporarily removing / commenting out those lines, re-saving your permalinks and testing again.
