After an upgrade to WordPress 3.1, everytime I hit the front page of my wordpress site I was getting 100% CPU and the page would fail to render, no 404 just a hourglass and lots of waiting. However I could get to the admin site fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It turned out to be a problem that is discussed here: http:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/topic\/windows-server-infinite-redirect-after-upgrading-to-31?replies=4#post-1958450<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The fix\/workaround for now is to do the following: Open the blog\u2019s admin dashboard (thankfully this is still functional) and install the Permalink Fix & Disable Canonical Redirects Pack plugin and all is back to normal again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more info see these links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/permalink-fix-disable-canonical-redirects-pack<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n http:\/\/www.boche.net\/blog\/index.php\/2011\/02\/27\/wordpress-3-1-upgrade-issues\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After an upgrade to WordPress 3.1, everytime I hit the front page of my wordpress site I was getting 100% CPU and the page would fail to render, no 404 just a hourglass and lots of waiting.
