I am working locally with MAMP Pro 3.3, using WordPress 4.6.1, and Enfold 3.8.1. With a child theme.
Problem: I want to change from Default Permalinks to Post Name Permalinks, but it causes a too many redirects error when I load the home page. The other pages work fine when I change the permalink.
The home page is set to be a static page. I’ve cleared the cache, verified that the .htaccess file is being written too, and deactivated all plug-ins. Also MAMP says it is not their problem. It seems to be only a problem with the home page. The other pages do have post name permalink when I change the permalink setting.
Is there something in the Enfold code that is not allowing the home page to work with anything other than the default permalinks?
Hey jh100,
That permalink setting should work fine with the theme so I think it’s something local with your settings unfortunately. You can try to set the default setting under Settings–>Permalinks and remove the .htaccess file and save and then try the settings you want again.
Best regards,
RikardI found the solution. It was due to having a static page set as the home page, and having uppercase letters in the URL, and appears to have happened to many people after WordPress updated to v 4.4.1. Here is the link to the solution: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirect-loop-after-update-wordpress-441/?replies=33
I removed the uppercase letters from the URL directly in the database, as well as updated it in the WordPress backend, and now I can use post name permalink without any problems.
