Redirect Issues Again

    After upgrading to WordPress 4.3, I am having redirect issues. I reviewed the other topics that relate to this problem and still have not found a fix. I have deactivated all Plugins and looked at the theme (twentytwelve). When I go to “customize your site” in the Dashboard and check the links both within and outside of the “wp” directory they work fine. When I check the pages in another browser or try to “view” a page in the dashboard page edit function I get “The page isn’t redirecting properly”. I have cleared the browser caches.

    The Site and WordPress address are both set to:
    https://www.mvgenealogy.org/wp

    The webhost is Yahoo (and I understand that Yahoo! does not allow users to make.htaccess file changes to the account) so in the past I put the following code in the “index.html” header section to make the root directory redirect to the wp directory and that had been working.
    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=https://www.mvgenealogy.org/wp">

    Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.

    Reviewed Yahoo help section and the suggestion was made to create a “php” redirect file as follows:

    <?php
    define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
    define(‘WP_IN_ROOTDIR’, true);
    require(‘.//wp/wp-blog-header.php’);
    ?>

    Still did not correct redirect problem. I suspect the issue is in the theme template but don’t know where to look.

    Changed the theme from twentytweleve to twentyeleven and redirects continue.

    Problem was a Yahoo specific plugin “Customizable Permalinks” needed to be activated. Yahoo will spinning off their Web hosting business in the next few months, hopefully the new company will do away with “htaccess” restrictions.

    Diappointed in the lack of community response to this problem.
