Whenever I create a new page or post, it automatically creates a redirect so that new page/post is now the homepage, i.e, if I click "HOME" it takes me to hxxp://www.mysite.com/cool-new-post. So I have to log into cpanel/myphpadmin/redirection items and delete that redirection.

It does it every single time and I can't what's causing it. It does it for all of the add on domains on that hosting account also. Any ideas where I can look.
 


Yeah I checked that out and it's fine. Plus it's doing it for every domain on that hosting account, so it must be a global setting somewhere that's causing the redirect.
 
You've got a table called redirection items? That's not standard with WP I don't think... i've always used the .htaccess file for stuff like that (permalinks, redirects).

Does that mean you are using some kind of plugin that alters things? Check.
 
Yeah there's a table called redirection items. On some of the sites I do use a redirection plugin, but not all of them that have the problem. I've been using that plugin for a while and on other sites where it doesn't cause this problem. I guess I could disable it on all domains on that host and see if it still happens.
 
Check your error log - probably kicking up an error somewhere if the host doesn't have something enabled that the plugin needs.
 
I had the same problem using the redirection plugin. You can fix it by going in the redirect table and deleting homepage / that corresponds with the new page. Saw this as a possible solution go to Tools –> Redirection –> Groups –> click edit group to the right of “Modified Post” –> uncheck the Enabled box and save it.

Click to expand...

I've been noticing this a lot lately as well, and redirection plugin has always been the culprit.
