Today I have just opened [https://gohugo.io/variables/page](https://gohugo.io/variables/page) and got an endless loop with the error ‘ERR\_TOO\_MANY\_REDIRECTS’ in all of my browsers: Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

Is that something happening on the hosting or genearating new sites?

Thanks.

An alias loop I would guess.

The introduction to templates – [https://gohugo.io/templates/introduction/](https://gohugo.io/templates/introduction/) – seems to be having the same problem.

So is the documentation page for the `cond` function: [https://gohugo.io/functions/cond/](https://gohugo.io/functions/cond/)

It puzzles me a little that these issues pop up now. These redirect have been there for a long time. Maybe people start to actually read the docs.

For technical interested:

- The hugo docs creates a 301 Netlify “\_redirects” file based on the alias definitions.
- We have turned off the Hugo alias feature (client side redirects), which is why the above is only a Netlify issue

It seems like something changed in the hugoDocs/Netlify config (probably that feature that you turned off?)… I have not yet investigated.

The reason I believe this is a deeper issue is because [RSS templates | Hugo](https://gohugo.io/templates/rss/) was giving a 404 earlier (and it was working fine the last time I modified it)… and I had to remove the `aliases` front-matter to fix it in my [last commit](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs/commit/ce14da4350c586c7d184326f0326a14d60818645) to it.

Something changed with multi-languages and aliases setting?

It something has changed, it is now working correctly.

I have diffed public/\_redirects in Hugo Docs from Hugo 0.46…0.40 with identical output, so if something has changed regarding this in that timeframe, I think it would have to be in the Netlify code.
