Publishing Page Redirects My Main Site Page

[TheMovieman]

I've submitted a support ticket for this, but I wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else and if so, how you got it fixed. This has happened twice now, but since upgrading to Wordpress 3.0, when I publish a page, in this case, Entourage Season 6 Blu-ray Screen Caps (http://moviemansguide.com/main/blu-ray-1080p-hd-screen-captures/entourage-season-6-1080p-hd-screen-caps/), when I go to my home page (http://moviemansguide.com/main), it redirects to that page and I have no idea why as I have not changed any settings at all.

 

This happened on Saturday as well and had to submit a ticket then to get it resolved, but now this is twice and it's going to be annoying to have to this every time I publish a page and have to correct it.

 

 

Here is the response I got from TCH technical support:

I can see that,you have set a redirect in your database to http://moviemansguide.com/main/movies/angels-demons/'>http://moviemansguide.com/main/movies/angels-demons/ so that your domain http://moviemansguide.com is resolving to this. I have just disabled that from the wp_redirection_items in your database.

 

Problem is, I never made a change there, all I did was publish a page.

 

 

Edit:

Ok, so I decided to try publishing a page in another blog I have and it was fine, no redirection on the home page. So I think this has something to do with a plugin I had installed on Saturday called "Custom Post Types UI". Even though that plugin is gone, it seems to have changed something in my direction file. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

I posted this in the wordpress support and got this reply from another user:

 

There is a bug in the 3.0 release in relation to using static pages as home pages, as many themes that use templates require. There are a number of reports in the forum of similar related issues, such as: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/413306?replies=7

 

I have not yet seen any way to resolve the problem short of reverting to a backup version.

 

So, how can I get this resolved once TCH support corrects the redirection problem? Like I said, I tried this on another blog of mine and it was fine...

Well if it's truly a bug in Wordpress there isn't anything you can do until it's patched. Maybe you should roll back to version 2.9.2 until it's fixed.

 

I have not had any issues with 3.0 yet.

 

Here's a thought though. If you have a backup of your database before the first occurrence and before the plugin you suspect restore that and see if it happens again.

Nevermind, got it done myself. I took the back up made when converting over to WP3.0 and did a page and it did the redirection bug. Luckily I just did another back up to restore it to what I have now (so the front page is back to normal and where I can just do regular posts).

 

Hopefully they'll have a fix for this soon. In the meantime, since it didn't seem to affect my other blog, I'll use that one to post pages and just link it to there on my main one.

Just an update, but I discovered it was a bug in the redirection plug-in. I found a workaround so now all is back to normal.

Thanks for the update and glad you have a solution.
