 * Hi,
 * I have been working on my WP site for a few days, including renaming pages, changing
   the home page etc and now I have a redirect loop issue.
 * I have tried clearing my cookies, changing my permalink structure, updating my
   wp-config.php etc but still no luck.
 * My blog is at [http://mark.gads.by/coterie/](http://mark.gads.by/coterie/) and
   my .htaccess looks like:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /coterie/
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /coterie/index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * Is there anything in my WordPress DB I should check? The sit appears to be redirecting
   to /how-to-become-a-member/ before getting stuck.
 * Many thanks,
 * Mark

 * Start with a clean .htaccess file again. The redirect is likely cause by the 
   changes you made in there.

 * I hadn’t actually edited the .htaccess file. To make sure, I renamed the existing
   one and then changed-changed back and then saved my permalink structure in WordPress.
   The new .htaccess is:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /coterie/
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /coterie/index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * Also is it significant that the page that finally gives the error is /how-to-
   become-a-member/ which is not active and has been deleted?
 * Regards,
 * Mark

 * Yes, I’m an idiot 🙁
 * I had a plugin that was hiding certain pages and redirecting non-logged in people
   to a page that no longer existed.
 * I apologise for wasting your time! Many thanks for taking the time to help me.
