Title: Redirect Loop Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Redirect Loop * Resolved [Kirk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kirkre/) * (@kirkre) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirect-loop-71/) * We have a problem on our site where using a particular name for a post results in a redirect loop for that post. I found that disabling Custom Post Type UI 1.1.1 fixes the redirect loop. I did try resetting permalinks and that did not help. * I am only aware that this has been an issue with this particular post. It’s possible this has happened to other posts on the site, because I only recently started troubleshooting issues with this site, but just to clarify that everything outside of this one post works fine. * As a temporary workaround for the issue I simply changed the name of the post, but it would be nice to resolve the issue itself so this does not happen again. * Any ideas on what is happening here? I did search for answers and found others with the same issue, also apparently fixed by disabling Custom Post Type. I also found suggestions outside of this forum that changes to custom-post-type-ui.php could fix the issue, but the suggested changes did not match our version, I am not sure I understood that correctly, and I don’t want to suggest the redirect loop is even an issue with this plugin in spite of the evidence, because I really don’t know, just reporting what I learned and looking for help. * I can reproduce the issue on a test site for illustration if that will help. * Thanks! * Kirk * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Contributor [Michael Beckwith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) * (@tw2113) * The BenchPresser * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirect-loop-71/#post-6410765) * What’s the name of the post you’re using? An example of the URL and the title used would help. * Are you willing to provide an export of your post type settings and your chosen permalink setting so that I could import and match as best possible? * Just trying to gather up as much information I can to actually start looking at the issue, since there is not too much to go on in the initial post. * Thread Starter [Kirk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kirkre/) * (@kirkre) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirect-loop-71/#post-6410913) * Thanks Michael. The URL that causes the redirect loop is: * /fr/wopg-events/amaroo-australie/ * Here is [post type settings export](https://gist.github.com/anonymous/46b8f3f0977728f5ccbf). * The permalink setting is post name. * Plugin Contributor [Michael Beckwith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) * (@tw2113) * The BenchPresser * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirect-loop-71/#post-6410914) * Hrm. I’ve imported the settings, set my permalinks to just /post-name/ etc, and created a post that matches that, with the exception of the /fr/ part. I’m not getting any sort of redirect looping going on. * I’m curious if you have some sort of redirects plugin or htaccess redirects that are matching this url unexpectedly. * Thread Starter [Kirk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kirkre/) * (@kirkre) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirect-loop-71/#post-6410915) * No applicable redirects that I can find. I looked at all .htaccess entries and tested with the .htaccess files renamed. We use the Simple 301 redirects plugin, but nothing there that could match, and I tested with that plugin disabled as well. I grepped the contents of every file in the web root, and searched all the databases, for strings that could match in case there was a redirect method implemented that I didn’t know about, or maybe a conflicting file name if that could break something. Did not find anything. I didn’t develop the site, and the developer is not available to help with this, so I thought I may as well do a blind check. * I was able to reproduce the problem on a warm spare. That does not work very well for testing because it is automatically synced with the live site, but I’m going to put up a test clone of the site for other reasons soon. If nothing else helps and you’re willing to take a look I could give you access to that. * Thanks! * Kirk * Plugin Contributor [Michael Beckwith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) * (@tw2113) * The BenchPresser * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirect-loop-71/#post-6410918) * I wouldn’t argue against access to a test clone that has it reproduced. * Plugin Contributor [Michael Beckwith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) * (@tw2113) * The BenchPresser * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirect-loop-71/#post-6411117) * Any update on this one, Kirk?
