</span>If you can show one specific url which does show the problem, then it<br>
makes it much easier to see what is going on.<br>
<br>
If you can also include one small but complete config file that shows<br>
the problem, that makes it much easier for someone else to repeat your<br>
experiment.<br>
<br>
(And sometimes, the act of making a small config that shows the problem,<br>
will show you what the fix is.)<br>

</span>Part of the point of you asking the question, is that you do not know<br>
where the problem is.<br>
<br>
So usually, the best thing is to run a test nginx with your config, then<br>
remove as much as possible while still showing the problem. Maybe that<br>
config will just have two location{} blocks, and the loop will be obvious.<br>

</span>Use "curl" to test your broken url and see what exactly is returned.<br>
<br>
Do something like<br>
<br>
curl -i <a href="http://your-server/aaaa/bbbbbbbb" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://your-server/aaaa/bbbbbbbb</a><br>
<br>
and you should get a http 301 response, with something in the Location:<br>
header.<br>
<br>
Then do "curl -i" against that url, and see if you get the loop.<br>
<br>
The *rest* of the headers may show that PHP was, or was not, involved<br>
in the redirections.<br>
<span class=""><br>
> could this be related to wordpress?<br>
<br>
</span>It could be.<br>
<br>
If the "curl" responses show that PHP is involved, then it probably is.<br>
