Without seeing your exact code I|other people can't help much.

Yes, the core changed a little in the past 2 years, as did a few other
things. e.g. I personally don't use a _generic folder anymore since
you can just do $this->render('/elements/this_one'); - as can be seen
in the repo solution I linked to.

If you're being redirected to confirm_action in a loop the form token
that's generated 'manually' (see the form helper create function if
you want to see what else uses it) doesn't match what the security
component is expecting. Except for the period of time when I was
originally writing this technique - I haven't seen that happen. You'd
need to debug and find out why.
