 * Thank you, Steven. I can’t believe that the solution is so simple, or that I 
   didn’t notice it!
 * I use CuteFTP, and the whole time I was investigating this issue I had both /
   include/ files sitting next to each other – and I never noticed it was missing
   on the server side!!!
 * It takes an outsider sometimes to notice something so obvious! Thanks again!

 * Thank you, t-p, for your quick and lucid reply. The procedure is perfectly logical,
   and it works. Don’t know why it’s not somewhere on WordPress. I’m sure other 
   people must need to do this also.

 * Sorry I took so long to get back to you. There were no entries in the error log
   at all.
 * I found out what was going on: When I uploaded the WordPress files to the server,
   my CuteFTP failed to load some of the files at the end of two of the folders.
   I went back and uploaded the three folders again – this time making sure they
   all got transferred. Then when I tried Step 5 again, it worked fine.
 * Sorry to bother you, James – it was just a stupid mistake – not a bug at all!

 * Yes it does. It’s called Quick Installer. I didn’t want to use it, since it requires
   registering. I don’t want to have to become a member of a new organization in
   order to do something I should be able to do by hand. And I have installed WordPress
   many times before for my other blogs. I want to get to the bottom of this problem,
   not hack my way around it!

 * Thanks for your help. However, I DID do it manually. I filled in wp-config.php
   by hand, and then put simpleislandweddings.org into the address bar –> WSOD!

 * I did some more research, and found that this and other jquery scripits are added
   to the <head> section by WordPress. Also found a plugin that will move them all
   to the footer: Scripts to Footer. A simple solution for us php-illiterates!

 * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-xml-sitemap-causes-serious-problem/#post-5249173)
 * I now find that – even with the Yoast XML Sitemap being disabled – the webpage
   is being redirected to itself in an endless loop. This occurs whenever the permalink
   is anything other than the default, “/?p=xxx”.
 * This is causing all external links to webpages on my blog to be redirected to
   the home page. It must be disconcerting for my visitors to click this link in
   Google search: tanning17.tropicalhouseplants.net/how-to-tan-armpits/ , and end
   up on the tanning17 homepage, with the offending link still visible in the Address
   Bar. What do they do now? Most will probably give up!

 * New information about this bug. I went to Google Webmaster Tools, and fetched
   a page on the blog, [http://tanning17.tropicalhouseplants.net/tanning-news-snippets/](http://tanning17.tropicalhouseplants.net/tanning-news-snippets/).
   Here is the error:
 * > Downloaded HTTP response:

 * Somehow, the page has been redirected to itself, obviously causing an endless
   loop.
 * This clearly shows what is happening. But the question remains: WHY is this happening?

 * I discovered the source of the bug described above. It came to me in a dream!
   It’s not a bug that anyone else will ever have, but it’s solution demonstrates
   a debugging principle that I was ignoring. So it may be applicable to others 
   in a general sense.
 * The debugging principle: if a script works on page 1, but not on page 2, then
   there must be something on page 2 that’s interfering with the script.
 * In my case, the interfering script was the submitForm script. It was being used
   only on the Home page. So I deleted it, and the posts using the question & answer
   format worked properly. ( Now I have to rewrite the deleted script, so it doesn’t
   cause any interference – but that’s another problem altogether. )

 * I discovered where the plugin was getting the defunct URL used in the error message.
   It was in the database, so I corrected all four instances. Now I still get the
   same error message, but with the correct URL.
 * I opened the XSL file mentioned in the error: [http://www.your-homeremedies.professorsopportunities.com/herbalremedies/main-sitemap.xsl](http://www.your-homeremedies.professorsopportunities.com/herbalremedies/main-sitemap.xsl),
   but I can’t figure out what the error is.
 * Can somebody who knows about XSL files please go to the above URL, and tell me
   what’s causing the error?

 * I just searched one-by-one all of he files in the wordpress-seo plugin folder,
   and NONE of them contained my defunct blog URL, your-homeremedies.com.
 * So where is the plugin getting this URL to use in its error message???

 * Since nobody seemed to have any more suggestions, I took time off from this problem
   for a few days. As sometimes happens, when I decided to try again, I happened
   by chance to hit on a solution. It’s not an elegant solution, because I still
   have NO IDEA what went wrong or how. But I can now login to the blog again.
 * All I did was to completely change out my wp-admin and wp-includes folders with
   brand new ones from the latest WordPress ver 3.9.1 !!!

 * Thank you all for the suggestions.
 * MaxManX: Tried your suggestion using IE. Same error.
 * perrij3: I was able to access all tables in the database.
 * esmi: I looked at your link, but couldn’t make head nor tail of it – I’m not 
   a guru. I don’t have Varnish (?). The only thing I could see to try was to remove
   <input type=”hidden” name=”testcookie” value=”1″ />, which didn’t change anything.
   The only other idea that came to me was to try reverting to an earlier version
   of WordPress. However, I didn’t do it because I have many other blogs that use
   the latest version, and they’re all working fine.
 * I think the key to what caused this whole thing is that I bypassed the popup 
   that requested me to login again. That’s the only thing that I did that I didn’t
   do with my other blogs. Does anybody have any ideas on what this mistake on my
   part might cause?
