Are you referring to 0.7.11?

Hmmm, looks like if I have a url that ends with /, it displays the homepage instead.

Ah, brilliant – it looks like there was an issue with permalinks that didn’t end in a “/”, on blogs that were hosted in a sub-directly, not the webroot.

Nice, looks like it works now! :)

Ah – I may have just discovered another issue. I’ve just updated the development version (same link as above), so try that out – it’ll be an hour or so before it updates.

Okay – first, try the development version, http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/custom-permalinks.zip – there’s a tweak in there for pending/draft posts that might fix your problem. I’m holding off on releasing it until I know it actually addresses the issue, so let me know if that sorts it out for you.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your reply.

This is a brand new blog with only 1 Page, and it is this page I tried it on.

Latest Wordpress version.

Hi Eric – it sounds like something else might be funky with your setup (perhaps something in .htaccess, or another plugin?) – it doesn’t matter what custom permalinks you set, whether they end in ‘html’ or not.

Hi,

When adding a custom url that ends with .html, I keep getting a redirect loop.

Is there anyway to use .html for the url without causing this?

Ok, I solved the problem. Not sure what was the issue. I went into my database and did a search for the problamatic url and just deleted it. Now all is working.

Oh, and it definitely does work with a stock WP 3.3.1 installation – I use it on this site (this very page, in fact) with no problems.

Hi Brett – if you’re still seeing the issue after removing/disabling Custom Permalinks, then it’s not Custom Permalinks that’s the problem; the plugin has no effect once disabled.

Oh, bugger, I still can’t replicate the issue here. Typical – works perfectly =)

Aahhh!! Thanks so much, Sue – I’ve just had no idea why some people were seeing this problem, and you’ve put your finger right on it. It should be a pretty easy fix to ignore custom permalinks on the home page. I’ll make the change now.

I thought some of those using your Custom Permalinks plugin might be interested in this information – it’s a fix I’ve discovered for the ‘redirect loop’ error ..

I’ve been using Custom Permalinks for our website for some time with no problem at all.

But after changing our home page from the posts page to a static page, I was struggling (as others here have done) with the fact that I was getting the ‘too many redirects’ error with Custom Permalinks activated, and our website would not load.

I checked .htaccess, disabled other plugins (e.g the Redirection plugin I’m now using because there have been several changes to the site structure) … but still no luck and nothing I tried worked.

Then finally I found the solution!! :)

For the new static home page, the URL was http://bjseminars.com.au/welcome and ‘welcome’ was showing in the URL field in the admin area for that page. I simply removed the word so the URL for the page was now simply http://bjseminars.com.au .. leaving the field blank.

Our site now loads and works as it should .. :)

Hope this is of some help for others who experience the same problem.

Thanks for a fantastic plugin – it’s great for keeping the URLs tidier and much simpler when there are several sub-pages on a site.

Cheers Sue
