  Forgive my ignorance here… :(

  I recently inherited a site that was composed via ‘Plain’ permalinks. I stupidly thought I could just change the format to ‘Post Name’ and all would be well. When I tried to access the website via Chrome and IE, I got an error stating too many redirects and nothing would load. I could still access the anything on the wp end of things, so I knew it wasn’t a domain issue. I set the permalinks back to ‘Plain’ and all is right with the world. Which bring me to this, I have done the research and figured out ways to change the pages via redirection, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what URL to use for the home page / landing page (alanturnermusic.com) In the URL list I generated, it’s just http://alanturnermusic.com/ So, that being said, I don’t know what to enter as the Source URL and the Target URL. Thoughts?

  Or is there another reason this is breaking that I haven’t been able to locate yet?
