How to Fix a Redirect Error in WordPress

1. Check with your Web hosting company to ensure that either mod_rewrite for Apache and lighttpd or Microsoft with the URL Rewrite 1.1 module is installed on your Web server. Otherwise, the WordPress rewrites will be unable to function correctly.
2. Log in to your WordPress blog.

3. Click 'Settings,' and 'Permalinks.'
4. Select one of the permalink structures listed on this page. You can also create a custom permalink structure using various tags, such as 'tegory%,' and '%postname%.' Save your changes to update your .htaccess file. Your WordPress blog begins redirecting the default numerical post names to the permalink post names once you have done so.
