Hi kzyz,
If i am getting you correct so, you are trying to say that you have created a sample page and selected that sample page as front page from the settings.
After making that sample page as front page the page starts redirecting to the front page.
Let’s say this is your sample page url: http://www.example.com/sample-page
After making it front page, it starts redirecting to here: http://www.example.com/
This is what you are saying? Please confirm..
Thanks,
Sami

Hi Sami,
That’s right.
example:
create ‘Sample page’.
set to custom permalink ‘index.html’.
select ‘Sample page’ as front page from the settings.
and select ‘Custom Structure(/%post_id%/)’ from the Permalink Settings.
(WordPress 4.5.3 + Custom Permalinks 0.7.27) is Redirect Loop.

(WordPress 3.7.1 + Custom Permalinks 0.7.16) is OK.

Hi kzyz,
Thanks for your confirmation but this is not the plugin issue. This is WordPress version issue. As far as i know, this issue has arises in WordPress 4.5 and still exist on the current version of WordPress 4.5.3
You can update the latest version of the plugin on your WordPress 3.7.1 and check the issue. I am sure you will not get any issue there.
To fix this issue on WordPress 4.5.3, you can put the below mention code in your theme functions.php
function static_page_redirecting_front_page($redirect_url) {
if( is_front_page() ) {
$redirect_url = false;
}
return $redirect_url;
}
add_filter( 'redirect_canonical', 'static_page_redirecting_front_page' );
If you have any question so, let me know 😉
Thanks,
Sami
