Redirection problem again in new rules.

[Muhammad Yousuf Khan]

Hi All,

Thanks for your help. Ph. Gras and Francis for your support and advice i
really appreciate that.

Ph. Gras, i tried "break" but now it is showing 404.


Francis,

Sorry for the mistake in a's and b's i was typing that in general because
the context was not the URL but the problem.

Yes , i have double checked but my redirection rules are not created wrong.
so i am sure no loop is happening there.


BTW just to update you guys. i am using wordpress.

i am doing two redirections , one domain base and second URL base.

domain base is working fine however URL redirections are giving me issues.


could this be related to wordpress?


Thanks,
MYK
