WAIT: Using Bricks on a Mamp Pro local site

I’m getting to my wits end on this.

I have repeatedly created a bare WP (latest version) on MampPro 6 (latest version) and I keep getting to the same situation.

The site will load and display the front page. Login as admin and start setting up a blueprint site. Plugins added (tried with all plugins disabled, same issues).

After a while trying to visit the home page gets ‘Too many redirects’ error. I can still (as admin) see and return to the dashboard, but trying to edit a page with Bricks produces a similar error message.

I’d appreciate any thoughts. Is anyone using Bricks on a MampPro install?

There is a video of the failure (network in dev tools) here:

Cheers

Not a direct answer but I use Local and it works great.

Hi @golfbravo ,

Does the issue only happen on the home page?

Based on your description, it seems like some plugins or custom code that causing the infinite redirect loop on your home page. ( I can only see ACF from your video, custom Post type with incorrect rewrite rules will cause issue too)

If you suspect it’s related to the MAMP local setup, you should clone your site and place it on a real server to check if the issue persists.

The issue happens on the home page and if trying to edit any page.

I do have (Dreamhost) hosted version of the site - not migrated - that fnctions as expected. I’ll migrate the problem site and see if I get similar results.

BTW, what is the correct way to included support? I couldn’t see a way to tag them on the OP.

It works fine on Local, but that doesn’t help localize the issue to MAMP or Bricks :frowning:

Hi @golfbravo ,

I just rewatched your screen recording again.
Seems like opening the home page bricks-vanilla:8890 also failed.

What if you install and switch to the WP default theme, and the infinite redirect issue still occurs?
Suspect it’s related to server environment setup, check your server rewrite rules, website general settings, and permalink settings.
