# File Loop on Save

 * I’m having this really bizarre issue on one of my WordPress installations (I 
   have other installations on the same host that seem to be working fine). It’s
   a bit weird to describe but I’ll try:
 * So let’s say I go into Appearance > Editor(Twenty Eleven theme, unedited) (This
   path: [http://domain.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php](http://domain.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php))
 * I make some adjustments to the style.css (I know you shouldn’t edit default themes,
   but this is just to give you an example of what’s happening).
 * I click on “Update File”. The file does not update, and the path changes to [http://domain.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php/](http://domain.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php/)(
   with the / at the end)
 * Then, if I try to go anywhere else within WordPress (e.g. back to the home page),
   the page doesn’t change, but the path changes to wherever it should be going (
   e.g. Click on Dashboard and the path changes to [http://domain.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php/index.php](http://domain.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php/index.php))—
   Also, if I keep clicking on “Update File”, the path becomes: [http://domain.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php/theme-editor.php/theme-editor.php/theme-editor.php/](http://domain.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php/theme-editor.php/theme-editor.php/theme-editor.php/)
   and so on.
 * I can add new posts and pages normally, and upload new images, but I don’t seem
   to be able to update certain settings (I can’t change “options-permalink.php”,
   for example, but I can update the “options-writing.php”, “options-reading.php”,“
   options-discussion.php”).
 * I tried to do a Google search for this problem, but I didn’t really know what
   to search for!
 * This problem has persisted on this domain (the domain if it helps is bloodofages.
   com) through WordPress installations, which I’ve tried reinstalling 3 times (
   twice using Fantastico and once manually).
 * I have disabled all my plugins but with no luck.
 * I think it might be an issue with the permissions on the php files, but I’ve 
   looked at the permissions on this installation and on another installation on
   the same server, and they *seem* to match up.
 * I think that covers everything! Any advice would be gratefully accepted =)

 * Do you have any other WordPress sites on the same _physical server_?

 * On my cPanel, I just have one server listed, which is where all my WordPress 
   databases and domains are (I have 3 current working WordPress installations, 
   and this one), does that mean they’re on the same physical server as well?

 * Impossible to say from here. Your hosting management panel should give some information
   as to what server(s) the sites are on. I host quite a few sites with one hosting
   company but they’re all on different servers.

 * Just to update, this issue has now been resolved after speaking to my host provider.
   It was something at their end. Their response after some discussion was:
 * > There was mod_Security rules was trigger to your new domain wordpress installation,
   > I have bypassed those rules
 * Thanks for the help esmi =)
