I just got finished adding IK to the leg bones of my model, but when I add a pole target the leg twists immediately, I tried fixing this by rotating the pole angle but this results in the IK not following the pole target as it should, I checked the axes of the bones to make sure everything was in order, and I could not find anything wrong what should I do?

The following img shows the before and after of attaching the pole target

@JaroslavJerrynoNovotny I've already seen that post, it does not answer my question, unfortunately I've found the correct pole angle (-79.628) to prevent the mesh from twisting, but then the IK chain does not follow to pole target correctly... – Elton's Stuff Productions Feb 03 '19 at 15:56
Then probably something else is broken, have a look at also this: https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/21379/how-to-ik-rig-legs maybe that could help. I can't look into your .blend now but later I will check what could be the problem.. – Jaroslav Jerryno Novotny Feb 03 '19 at 16:05
I checked the link, it didn't help... but I do appreciate you looking at my .blend – Elton's Stuff Productions Feb 04 '19 at 15:55
The leg bone chain is straight, if you pre-bend the knee in edit mode (just a little bit), the IK solver starts behaving predictably again. – Jaroslav Jerryno Novotny Feb 04 '19 at 16:24
I didn't quite understand...? – Elton's Stuff Productions Feb 06 '19 at 17:42
Move the knee joint so the legs are bend a little bit. In edit mode. The problem is the legs are straight. – Jaroslav Jerryno Novotny Feb 06 '19 at 18:05
