How do I fix a 301 Redirect Loop?

[Gotmoxie]

Saturday I waas doing some correcting of some duplicate titles, including nofollowing tags, etc. (my main problem was duplicate titles due to tags and categories being indexed).

Now this morning I see that one of my pages refuses to load, citing a 301 redirect loop.

http://www.incredibleinfant.com/feeding/switching-baby-formula/

Originally, the page was posted under the wrong category.

http://www.incredibleinfant.com/uncategorized/switching-baby-formula

I resaved it under the correct category (feeding) and now it won't load.

Can someone help me figure out how to correct this mess?

Thanks so much

Heather

Hi Heather, can you post your HTACCESS info that pertains to this redirect?

You may simply have an ambiguous statement in there.

Is this what you need?

Hi Heather,

Yes this is what I was looking for.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

Generally the Wordpress core systems work great, its other modules that tend to cause issues. I don't see a specific problem with the htacess, did you install any other redirecting scripts like canonical redirects?

It sounds like this maybe a somewhat common issue and you may find quicker answers to this sort of technical issue directly on the Wordpress forums. I've done some basic things with WP before, but I have not digested it to the degree you would expect to find on the official forums.

thank you, I will look there.  Thanks for getting back to me and pointing me in a new direction.  Appreciate it!
