Endless redirects

    I’m using wp 2.7, I have a page not in wp called /about.

    I’ve been using this page for years, now I want to bring it in as a wp page. So I develop it as /about-temp and once i like it, I rename the url to /about and delete the old one.

    I figured this should work fine.

    But my site keeps trying to redirect itself from /about to /about-temp in an endless loop! The browser actually gives up.

    In the end I removed the page and went back to the old system, a plain old html page.

    Does anyone know how I can replace this page with a wordpress page? Or turn off these redirects? I’m not even sure why it’s trying to redirect itself.

    Conversely, does anyone know where these redirects are stored in the database? That way, at least I could see where they are trying to go.

    WordPress pages are viewed by using…

    yoursite.com/?page=1

    or if a post

    yoursite.com/?p=1

    Unless you have customised permalink settings…

    So, yoursite.com/about will not point to the correct place unless you have custom permalinks or custom redirects setup.

    Yes, thanks. So what I made is a custom page called mysite.com/about-temp via the wp-admin panel. But when I try to use the panel to change the url to mysite.com/about the browser tells me that there are too many redirects going on and the url will never resolve.

    Could you provide a link to the site. This may be caused by a htaccess file redirecting as well as wordpress.

    the site is at maangchi.com/about

    and the htaccess file doesn’t have much in it:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
