I changed the permalink of a page in the WordPress site. It caused to infinitely redirect between the new and old permalink. To test the scenario I changed the permalink several times and now it has began to redirect all among those URLs. What may be the issue?

I had the same problem after changing the URL of a page. I found that issue occurred due to a plugin "Yoast SEO". That plugin keeps old URLs and new URLs.If a page redirects unexpectedly or causes a redirect loop only when your plugin is active, this means a redirect has been added to your plugin. To solve this go to the redirects section under SEO plugin and delete the relevant redirect record.
