Hey,
My site is creating a 301 redirect chain for the sort filters on my ecommerce store. Like for example https://example.com/prodct-category/?orderby=rating to https://example.com/prodct-category?orderby=rating. It is creating millions of such redirect chains and combinations. How to fix it.
This is my complete htaccess code

I believe the first two sets of conditions are conflicting each other try this for wordpress
### http to https
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
### non-www to www
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yourdsite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
### default wordpress rules
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
If this works now go to your respective plugins and configure them again to set their rules automatically in .htaccess
I tried this and the code is making the site down. After adding the code, I am getting an error “The page isn’t working”
Try this :
### http to https
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]
### non-www to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
### default wordpress rules
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
Tried this code and still the same error. Page isn’t working (Too many redirects)
What about that?
What if I don’t use www and http rules at all? And will it automatically redirected if https is enabled and www rule is not added in DNS?
You can try these rules
### http to https
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]
### default wordpress rules
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
I think the many conditions for a 301 redirect are causing the loop
The code is working but the same error still persist of 301 the sort links are https://kiltzone.com/camouflage-kilts?orderby=rating that are 301 redirecting to https://kiltzone.com/camouflage-kilts/?orderby=rating
The links on these columns and stuffs
Disable all plugins and enable only that plugin you are using for this feature. See if the issue still persists.
This the default theme feature, not an external plugin
Then this might be a permalink issue. Can you reset wordpress permalink settings (set to plain) and see if issue persists
I can’t do that as the site is live and getting traffic from SEO so can’t really touch the whole permalink structure.
You should setup a staging site for this as this is proper way of updating a website in production.
Can you please tell me how to setup a staging site on cyberpanel then?
