My wordpress site must be being affected by outside sources [duplicate]

Sounds like you got a recycled domain and/or your hosting configuration is not configured right. Also by running a traceroute you have multiple domains set for both http://www.kgstiles.com & http://www.kgstiles.com/pureplantessentials This is a pretty common scenario but can sometimes cause some domain issues.

I wouldn’t rule you the possibility of some external source affecting your site but it also wouldn’t be my first consideration.

Have you tried accessing that URL with a dummy directory to see if it still redirects?
