Getting a 301 redirection in the backend

  • Hello everybody!
    I’m getting a strange 301 redirection to my main page (blog.mywebsite.com) when I’m clicking in the admin backend on an author’s name to show only his posts (blog.mywebsite.com/wp-admin/edit.php?author=2)…

    Any ideas? If I click on a category name, everything is fine. It shows all posts from this category.

    I have redirection plugin installed, but deactivating this doesn’t help.

    Best,
    acy

    Do you have a .htaccess file in the /wp-admin/ directory?

    No there is no .htaccess file, but in the main directory is one with the following content:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Seems to be okay for me and not causing the problem…

    cheers, acy

    Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one until you find the cause.

    Okay. This helped me. The plugin “Robots Meta” caused the strange behavior. It has an option “Disable the author archives” which disables also the possibility to sort the posts by author in the backend.

    cheers, thx for help!
