Is this still happening for you?
If so try clearing your browsers cache because the “Bad Links” which you posted work without any issues for me.
Hi sveralex,
I tested every one of the links you provided, and they all work without causing a redirect loop. If you’re still seeing redirect loops, you should try clearing the cache and cookies in your browser.
Thank you for your efforts.
I just used the patch I’ve found, but it requires to make changes in WP core.
So I will be forced to apply it after each WP upgrade?!

Hi sveralex,
There should be no reason at all to make changes to WordPress core, and I strongly recommend that you do not apply the patch that you found. If there is any logic that you need to modify, then it should be done via a plugin instead of a patch, especially when dealing with WP_Query.
I’m also suddenly having 301 redirect loop on a post with no changes to my site in the last few months. Most other posts I’ve tested are fine, and I’ve made no changes to this page in quite a while. I’m having the issue in multiple browsers, with cookies disabled, and with curl -L -vvv. After clearing / resetting caches, I have also tried disabling all plugins (include cache) and temporarily disabling my .htaccess files without resolution.
I suspect there may be more posts with issues, as I had another odd problem a few weeks ago where I was unable to “preview post” for a specific post I was writing unless I appended something to the preview url (while other posts could be previewed without issue).
My redirect post: http://n8henrie.com/2012/07/scheduling-ios-apps/
That’s the “pretty” url for: http://n8henrie.com/?p=9
As you can see, I use a year / month / post permalink structure and have tried resetting my permalink setting (by changing it and changing it back) without trouble.
I checked the database, which reported no problems, and had no improvement when I repaired anyways. I manually examined the database and the post looks fine as far as I can tell.
I changed wp-config.php to 660 reinstalled wordpress with no improvement.
Relieved to see that I’m not the only one suddenly having an issue.
hi guys,
I’m having the same issue. I have the patched 4.4.1 version , but still have the same problem its happening when i go to /wp-admin/
I’ve tried the normal things:
deactivated all plugins
switched to a different theme
still the problem persists ?

Please create your own thread, as your problem description does not match that of the original poster here.
It does sound more like you are experiencing the mod_security problem as mentioned in https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-wordpress-44-master-list?replies=7#post-7857957, your hosting provider should be able to help you with that if you inform them of it, if not please do make a new topic.
