A client's website redirect loop took me two full days to fix
They had an old plugin conflict on their WordPress site that kept sending visitors in circles. I thought it would be a quick fix, but I spent over 16 hours digging through .htaccess files and server logs. Has anyone else had a simple plugin turn into a multi-day debugging nightmare?

That .htaccess digging sounds brutal, but at least you found the plugin conflict.

Actually, it was a caching issue.

Digging through .htaccess for 16 hours is rough. What was the actual conflict, like a security plugin fighting with a redirect plugin? I've seen that break a login page completely. @matthew_west had a caching issue, which can look the same. Did you have to turn off every single plugin and test them one by one, or did you find a clue in the server logs first?
