• I see lots of people have been having this problem recently with WordPress. Fixes like changing your URL in wp settings to all lowercase didn’t really help me like it helped others since my url was already in all lowercase letters.

    – it only happens on the homepage when I try to open http://istps.com (should redirect to www)
    – it used to happen on all browsers but now it works fine on Firefox and Chrome but not in Opera or when using a USA proxy
    – tried changing the urls in wp settings to redirect to the non-www version instead, didn’t help (and I’d like it anyway to stay redirected to www)
    – sites which are non-www on the same server weren’t affected by the update. They work fine. Two sites that redirect to www are having the problem, only homepage

  • Hi, ace1337, & welcome to the WordPress support forum. Actually, your site’s not coming up at all for me at this point no matter what browser I use.

    There’s a lot you’re not telling us. Is WordPress installed to your web root or a subdirectory like wp or wordpress? Do you have a .htaccess file, & may we please see it–you can copy & paste it in your next reply. Do you have anything in your wp-config.php or your theme’s functions.php files containing the word url?

    You can also look at your wp_options table (assuming you used wp_ as your database’s table prefix). There are 2 entries there–home & siteurl. Are these correct?

    Have I asked enough questions yet? Lol. Sorry. But answers to these will greatly assist us in helping you solve this. Please don’t hesitate to seek clarification if you require it. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Now that’s weird that it’s opening for me and not for you.
    Could you try http://www.istps.com/istp-careers/ ? Does that open?

    My wordpress is installed to the root but it’s an addon domain, like the others, that work fine.

    .htaccess file looks like this:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    Word “url” not found in my wp-config file. I tried adding some code for the url in the wp-config but that didn’t help so I removed it.

    In the wp_options table siteurl is http://www.istps.com

    Also I can see there are visits judging by my Adsense reports, so clearly some people can access the site without problems.

    Actually, ace1337, both sites are opening fine now. & guess what? I think I’m a classic ISTP!Lol

    So when I open http://istps.com/ it redirects to http://www.istps.com, both in Firefox & IE.

    Is that what you want?

    Cool. Yeah that’s where it’s supposed to redirect. 🙂

    But guess what. I tried now in Internet Explorer and the homepage doesn’t open. Then I open a subpage and it works. Then I open the homepage again and now it works. Weird behavior really. It’s like your browser has to pick something up and the second time you visit the site then it works. If that’s how it works then that’s not really good for first time visitors :/

    Was this a major flaw caused by these last two wordpress updates? Since I see I’m not the only one having issues with too many redirects.

    ace1337, please check your functions.php in your theme for any references to url, though since it appears you’re using 2012, I doubt it. You might try switching to something like 2016 to see if that helps. If not, I’d like to see what happens when you deactivate your seo & google analytics plugins.

    Let us know, ok?
