Redirect error stops pages from loading (ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS)

Hello community

Every once in a while I get the following error when trying to open a static page on my podcast-website:

Google Chrome:
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
Error%20Chrome

Microsoft Edge:
Error Code: INET_E_REDIRECT_FAILED
Error%20Edge

(Same on mobile devices)

  • Affected are only static WordPress pages. For example https://gametalk.fm/archiv/ or https://gametalk.fm/kontakt/.
  • The main page https://gametalk.fm/ is not affected.
  • Individual episode pages are not affected (e.g. https://gametalk.fm/kingdomhearts/).
  • The archive page made by Podlove (in my case https://gametalk.fm/podcast/) is not affected.
  • The WordPress backend https://gametalk.fm/wp-admin/ is not affected.

The temporary solution:
Podlove -> Tools -> Repair button
Just clearing the cache does not solve the issue.

Unfortunately, this is only a temporary fix. The issue will reappear sometime in the near future.
Therefore pages of my website will be temporarily unavailable for visitors until I notice and fix the issue again.

Is there a way to solve this problem once and for all?

Nice, Everything looks fine!

I seem to experience the same issue in the current Publisher version 3.8.1. Have you ever found a solution or a better workarround?

This seems to be a known issue: It could be this one reported on GitHub some time ago. The issue has been closed though. There is no solution in sight.
