Olaf’s Thoughts About Development

I have upgraded several WordPress sites to WordPress Version 3.1 during the past couple of days. Such as this blog and www.delphi-tage.de. It appears that there is a bug with WordPress 3.1 running on Windows servers in combination with certain permalink styles.

You are affected by this bug if you browse to a WP3.1 driven site and your browser comes back with an error message similar to “too many redirects …”. Apparently in WP 3.1 they changed the way how page redirects are created – which fails under certain conditions. First I solved it by editing the PHP directly, but I found that there is a convenient plugin which just needs to be activated and all is good again:

Permalink Fix & Disable Canonical Redirects Pack

Thanks Chris for providing this – makes live easier
