Links are not connecting to single-page.php

In your terminal: cd to your WordPress root directory.

-- cd ../ to go up one directory and type ls -l (that is a lower-case "L")

-- wp root dir should be - rwx-r-x-r-x -- this is equal to chmod 755 (if there is a "d" at the start it means directory, if there is a "-" or "f" it means it's a file)

-- FYI: All WordPress files should be set this by default (chmod -R 755 "%WP-ROOT-DIR%" -- -R means recursively, in other words, all files/folders inside) with the exception of .htaccess and wp-admin/index.php (these are set to chmod 644)

-- go back inside wp root dir and type cd ls -al (-a is for all files including .htaccess, and again that is a lower-case "L")

-- .htaccess shoud be - rw-r--r-- -- this is equal to chmod 644

-- cd wp-admin

-- ls -l

-- index.php should be rw-r--r-- (chmod 644)

• If you need help with using ls type: ls --help or man ls.
• If you need help with chmod type: chmod --help or man chmod.

It might be a quick fix to flush your permalink settings.

Go to Settings -> Permalinks : Common Settings - select a different option briefly then change it back to what you had it and save.

If this doesn't work then perhaps there is a permission issue either with your directories or .htaccess.

Hmm well the flush didn't work. You think it has to do with my MAMP?

Hmm, are you getting the error message on the main work page or the single work page? This looks like the code for the main work page, but URL you mention would seem to be run by the single-work.php or single-portfolio.php, whichever you named it. What does that file look like?

oh its on the single-work.php file.

Heres the code for that file :

<?php get_header(); ?>

<p>This is the single-work.php</p>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

    <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
    <?php the_feild( 'description' ); ?>
    <hr>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

    <p>There are no post or pages here</p>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thanks!

Is this the page that is throwing the error or the main work page? What happens when you remove the Loop code for the single-work.php page. Does the error still appear?

No its on the single work page. And yeah the error is still appearing after i got rid of the loop.

Hmmm, interesting. Keep removing code and see what might be causing the issue. Is your custom post type slug named "work"?

yeah the custom post slug is work, I heard it might be a permissions issue? is there any truth to that?

Like in the config file for MAMP, I need to turn off a setting...idk. I see a lot of other people have this issue and I have seen 100 different solutions.

Ok so when I cd to the folder that is holding all the WP files. I assume thats the root dir. So for this project is is called "allisongrayce.com" that is the folder that is in my htdocs, holding all the WP Files. Is that the root dir.? and when I ls -l the file I see all the files in the folder. It looks like this

now am i headed in the right direction?

This is what the allisongrayce.com folder looks like

drwxr-xr-x 24 burkenpastrent admin 816 May 4 15:37 allisongrayce.com

Ok so after looking at all the files index.php, and .htaccess are chmod 644. And my Root Dir is equal to chmod 755.

yes. it looks like its not a permissions issue. This is very frustrating. Then I read that if you delete your cookies on chrome it will sometimes work, But i'm working locally i cant imagine that working :(

Well I tried fireFox and this is what I got.

"Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

So pretty much the same thing. I guess it something with my code. Idk I just mess around with it. Thanks for the help

So after messing with files and stuff. I broke my WordPress.. lol, and I decided to start from scratch. I restarted the project and i'm still stuck on the same issue. What could it be :(

Zac Gordon, Hey I have found that when I deactivate the CTP UI plugin the redirect loop goes away. IDK if that has anything to do with it. But I don't understand why i have this error. I have read everything on redirect loops and I even spoke to one of the developers of the CTP UI plugin. Im not having any luck :(. I just can not find any clues on what could be going on.

Just a recap:

Im developing locally with MAMP And the redirect loop happens when I click on a link in the work page.

no worries

Sean T. Unwin I flushed my permalinks and it worked like a charm. Thanks!
