I have configured WordPress to display a static front page as described here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_SubPanel#Reading_Settings
When I save changes and try to visit my front page, my browser displays the following error:
"The page isn't redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

Changing cookies settings does not remedy the situation.
I'm using the theme Constructor (http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/constructor), which I suspect may be contributing to the problem.
How can I make WordPress properly display my front page?
create a page called home or whatever, go to
**Admin->Settings->Reading**
Change the......
Front page displays
1. Your latest posts
2. A Static Page
Select Static Page and from the dropdown select your newley created home/page.
if its not redirecting check your permalink settings...set it to default.
Check the homepage is working, re-apply any permalink settings you had..
If the page is still redirecting in a away it will never complete, then try opening your .htaccess file in the root of your wordpress site, delete anything inside and save it,
Again check your homepage... if its still not working, then it's def; down to your theme you are using, if there are particular theme templates for the homepage then that may be the cause.. no time to check the template myself just now, (maybe later)..
You could check the
admin->edit-page
you should see all your loaded pages on the site,
hover over the homepage listing and click "Quick Edit" onm the right hand side, have a look and check the template drop down menu for any homepage specific template that needs applied to that particular page, then click update and re-check the homepage status now.
"The page isn't redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
this problem happening when you redirect to a page who redirect you back. and it create indefinite loop of redirecting. So, the browser will trap and confuse and produce such error. Read you code again
maybe you need contact the theme author

I installed the Ultimate Member plugin in my wordpress site and I created all the needed pages (register, login...). On my side, it seems to work fine, but one of the site's users is redirected to his profil when he try to access the home page. However, the home page is not linked to any UM behaviour.
We tried to clear cookies and cache but nothing changes, and I don't see where the problem can come from.
seems like you have to set the Default Start Site in the Customizer, maybe this helps with your problem. Otherwise please check if the Link in your Menu is correct and refers to your Homepage.Customizer Start Site
I have a wordpress installation on a wp folder.
I need my clients write
www.example.com
in the browser, and the page
'about'
to be displayed, preserving the www.example.com address, not showing the www.example.com/wp/about/ address.
Which are the proper way to do this?.
You can assign it by go to setting -> Reading and choose the page you want to display at Front page displays. You can choose either page or posts.
Just update WordPress.
This bug is not present in current versions...
I hope my problem can be solved through this forum
I wanted my site to handle dead and non-existent links by displaying the 404 error page- Instead I noticed that it redirects these non-existent links and missing pages to the main page like for example - www.mysite.com/non-existent-link (redirects to) www.mysite.com/non-existent-links with no apparent changes to the url.
Another problem is, when accessing the following URL: mysite.com/genre/comedy - the intended page loads up fine but upon accessing mysite.com/genre it redirects to the homepage when it is supposed to display the error page
Only Exception when the error page actually works is when, links such as these www.mysite.com/+16476567 or www.mysite.com/444 or mysite.com/genre/gibberish are in use.
I have spent hours modifying the htaccess with different parameters, used default setting for permalinks and tried tweaking the template. But all in vain
Wish someone could throw some light on the problem
I have just installed a WordPress site on GoDaddy but unfortunately the home page of the site does not appear - just stays in waiting mode with the progress wheel spinning.
But if I go down a level to http://example.com/about-us, the site appears as required but going back to just http://example.com/ does not show anything?
Perhaps the home page is set to look up data from a location that is unavailable? Try looking up the source of the home page and see if it is trying to resolve a non-existent page. In addition you might like to use the W3C Validatior to check for errors before proceeding. You error otherwise seems quite vague.
I made some pages in Wordpress and displayed a navigation so the user can click to go to those pages.
When you click on any of the links, other than the Home link, it will go to a 404 Page not Found Page and display a message as the one below:
The requested URL /new_mtt/about-us-2
was not found on this server.
I realized I don't have a page.php file. Do I need that in order to view pages other than the index?
Why are my pages not working correctly?
There has to be a .htaccess-file in your Wordpress-directory. In there should be the rules for url rewriting.
The problem could be: that file is missing, the file is corrupt or mod_rewrite is not allowed.
You most likely need to regenerate your permalinks -- that solves the problem around 90% of the time. Click on Settings, Permalink; then pick any option that's not selected, hit Save, pick the option you originally wanted again (likely a custom structure with %postname%), hit save again, and verify that it saved.
If it can't save, as with the previous answer, make sure you check that your .htaccess file has global write access.
