Redirection Loops in non Premium version

We are sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with a redirect. Can you please share the example page URL where the issue remains occurring for you so that we can take a look at it?

We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi @oliverhamburg,

There are only a few scenarios that would cause Yoast SEO to add redirects and they depend on your SEO settings. For example, if you set Yoast SEO to remove the category prefix or if you disable date archives, it will create redirects for you.

To see if we can help, can you give us an example URL or let us know what type of page is being redirected?

Also, please check for conflicts by temporarily deactivating all plugins except for Yoast SEO and switching to a default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty-One. Does the redirect still happen?

Hello,

since the error occcurs on our major side, we always try to fix this asap.

As soon as Yoast is disabled, the error is gone.
Re-enabling it later on, the error is still gone for hours or days. But sooner or later we get the redirection loop.

What I intend to say: Sorry, we cannot provide a running error sample.

>There are only a few scenarios that would cause Yoast SEO to add redirects and they depend on your SEO settings. For example, if you set Yoast SEO to remove the category prefix or if you disable date archives, it will create redirects for you.
Where can I disable this having the standard, non professional plugin?

Is there some kind of php code to prevent Yoast from redirecting?

Thanks!

As much as we hate to say it, your question goes beyond the technical expertise of me and my colleagues on the Yoast support team. This means we can’t give you a solid answer to your question without looking into the specific issue and error.

Since we don’t want to take the risk that we break your website by suggesting incorrect or incomplete code,?we cannot advise you on how to make such changes. And even though we cannot be of any assistance, you’re completely free to change anything in the plugin to better suit your needs.

But we don’t want to leave you empty-handed either, that’s why we’ve created our developer portal at developer.yoast.com. This has proven to be useful to many developers in the past, and hopefully will serve you well too.

Sorry we can’t be of more help here.

Hi, well, on your blog page

https://yoast.com/help/page-redirects-unexpectedly/

your are explaining your redirection policy

The post level 301 redirect feature has been removed from the free plugin in favor of the more robust premium redirect manager as discussed here. If you have an older version of the free plugin you may still see these.

and

Although you can no longer add new post level redirects, previously entered post level redirects may appear under the

advanced tab

of the Yoast SEO (free or premium) meta box.

Where do I find this

advanced tab

in your free version?

Maybe there I would find the reason Yoast is redirecting some pages in a loop.

@oliverhamburg Thanks for your reply. The advanced tab of the metabox is no longer a tab, but rather is a collapsible area, but is still labeled as ‘Advanced’ on the Yoast metabox (see image here).

We are going ahead and marking this issue as resolved due to inactivity. If you require any further assistance please create a new issue.

Despite of seeing

x-redirect-by: Yoast SEO

in the page header, I kind of fixed my problem by deactivating the Woocommerce-plugin and reactivating it again.

Put it in a cron job checking the page regularily and doing the above job using WP-CLI.

So this case can be closed
