The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is red

    Running on IIS server.

    I am able to load the home page of my site and navigate to individual posts. However, I get the error message

    “The page isn’t redirecting properly.
    Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”

    when I try to open ANY other page.

    I manually removed all plugins, and that didn’t help.

    I have tried deleting the site and re-installing manually from a fresh copy of WordPress. When I first re-installed, I was logged in to the site as the admin and could make changes–all admin functions worked.

    I logged out and cannot access the login page or any page other than as described about.

    I also tried the “remove_filter(‘template_redirect’, ‘redirect_canonical’);” function suggested in some old posts, and that didn’t help.

    Other discussion threads on this issue seem to be 3+ years old. Does someone have a current solution to this problem, as I think that I have tried everything mentioned in other threads.

    Could you provide a link to your site?
    It could very well be a DNS settings and a rewrite causing a loop. Have you tried to remove or comment out your .htaccess file and see what happens?

    Here is a link to the site
    http://webucateus.com/acs_interns/

    I don’t have an .htaccess file as this site is hosted on a Windows shared server.

    Thanks.

    I have done some additional testing on my own and “fixed” the problem. Just in case anyone else experiences this here are my results.

    I am using a purchased theme called JobRoller. This theme comes with some pages that I am not using, so I made several pages “private”. The site worked fine while I was still logged in as the admin, but when I logged out I received the error message described above.

    By trial and error, I went into the MySQL database and turned all of the “private” pages back into “publish”. When I went back to the site, everything worked as it should. I then made one of the pages private again, and the site still worked when I logged out. I did not try to discover which of the other pages caused the error when made private, as they are not essential to my site and don’t show up in any menus.
