301在Wordpress中删除.php扩展名后出现循环重定向错误

Question

long time ago... when I installed my web-site (actually it was moved from Drupal to WordPress) I decided not to change links and leave them like it is. So they are all now have .php extension (in settings of links I have /%postname%.php plus I use .PHP to PAGE plugin). Now I am trying to remove .php and make 301 redirection using .haccess.

First I change settings /%postname%.php to /%postname%, disable ".PHP to PAGE" plugin... Redirection doesn't work, it gives me loop redirection problem... any idea how to fix it?

p.s. loop happens only when removing .php, if I don't remove .php from link settings all pages redirects to 404
