 * Hi –
 * First, John, great plugins — longtime user and supporter.
 * We are using Redirection on a site where our content administrator changed the
   permalink in admin for a page, then decided to change it back to the original
   link (was /careers/, changed to /fund-administration-careers/, then back to /
   careers/).
 * Problem is that with Redirection on, we get the “… the server is redirecting 
   the request for this address in a way that will never complete.” error.
 * Please advise.
 * Cheers –
    Scott WebFadds.com

 * Hi Scott,
 * Redirection doesn’t pay attention to the permalink structure so I don’t know 
   why that would affect anything. The message indicates there is a loop. Is there
   anything in your redirections that would create this?

 * Thanks for the reply, John — I will review what you suggest and follow-up with
   what I find.

 * Oddly, I turned Redirection back on and the problem came back, even though there
   are no redirections set for that specific page or URL with the problem.
 * So, if Redirection does not deal with permalinks, then I am thinking there must
   be something going on in the database. If you have any ideas about what we could
   check, that would be appreciated.
