   I’ve tried all the suggested solutions but unfortunately none of them seem to work for me. The last thing I remember doing on the cPanel was to use the Backup wizard to take a full backup of the site. After that I’m assuming, the too many redirects error started showing up. I don’t even have access to the admin panel now. Could that in any way be linked to this problem?

   Here’s what I’ve done so far:
   1) I added those lines of code to the wp-config.php file with and without www
   2) I deleted 2 .htaccess files, one in the root directory and another in the wp-content folder, one by one
   3) I renamed the plugins folder to deactivate it
   4) I downloaded the backup file from the root directory and deleted it from the server
   4) I ran through all the comments scanning for a possible fix, but to no avail

   Any assistance in any way would be highly appreciated.

   Thanks!

   It can be fixed by disable or enable plugins on WordPress Tools.

   In my case the culprit was a redirect plugin that had a feature (which I don’t remember turning on, so it may have been done automatically during a version update) that monitors changes in page URLs and creates automatic redirects. The idea behind it is, if you had a page that you originally created under Category A, then moved it to Category B, the plugin would automatically create a HTTP 301 redirect from /category_a/slug to /category_b/slug. Except it isn’t smart enough to delete that redirect if you subsequently decided to move the page back to Category A and would stupidly create a second redirect from /category_b/slug to /category_a/slug. This would create an infinite redirect loop.

   My solution to this idiocy was to disable the auto-redirect feature.

   I found out that there are two .htaccess files, one in www folder and other www/wp-admin folder. I also discovered that I had security enable where the admin folder was only allowed from a specific IP. My DSL provider changed my outbound IP at sometime and start causing me „redirect“ issues. Once I add the new IP into www/wp-admin/.htaccess file, I was able to see my admin login page.

   I deleted the .htaccess file but a new one has not generated. Is there something I need to do to generate the new .htaccess file?

   Antworten

   • Martha

     After deleting the .htaccess file, you need to log in to your admin area, go to Settings -> Permalinks, select the appropriate url choice you prefer, then hit Save. A new .htaccess file will be generated for you.

    When I change my domain, on both the WordPress address and the site address, when I log it to the admin page will it be with my new domain?

    Right now it is http://www.example.com/wp-admin/

    I have infinite loop redirection when I change in settigns->general
    http://example.com to https://example.com , I think this means that there is some redirection from https to http, but I cannot find it, as far as I know I dont have plugins that redirect from https to http, but I think this is a standard feature of worpdress, how can I turn it off?
    Thanks.

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Romas,

      No it is not a WordPress feature. If you do not have SSL installed on your site then you need to use http:// in both site address and WordPress address fields on Settings -> General page.

    My solution: when I noticed that none of the above solutions worked, I realized that each time the only way I was able to successfully get to mydomain/wp-admin was to go to GoDaddy cPanel, Installatron, My Applications and click on the link for mydomain.com/wp-admin
    So I right-clicked on that link and pasted it to the Bookmark property. When I did that the path was really long and not the expected mydomain.com/wp-admin
    GoDaddy was doing a lot more than that to get me in.
    Once I updated the Bookmark with the right path I now have a one click solution to get me to Admin level.

    The same thing is happening to me. I was unable to access the administrator when the Polylang add-in is active.

    I have used the method of deactivating the polylang folder (wp-content / plugins / polylang) by ftp, changing its name to „polylang_backup“ so that it at least enters the dashboard.

    But I need it to work with the activated polylang. We have a lot of content with the customer already translated.

    * I noticed this happened when I cleared the cache

    Thank you for your tutorial. I recently moved my website to https but I realized it put a lot of cpu load on the server so I decided to change it back to http after 3 days. I received the too many redirects error but I was able to fix it following your tutorial and clearing cookies.
    My problem is, the people who visited the https version of my website are getting too many redirect errors and some do not know that they should clear their cookies. Is there any way I can do something on the server side so they won’t get redirect errors?
    Kind regards

    Hello wp beginner
    My website was not opening with non www version so i have done some changes like domain forwarding to my own domain (i really don’t know what i was doing). But now i am facing problem. My website has too many redirect loop error. Please help me how to solve this error. It’s very important for me
    Thanks!

    Antworten

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Akash,

      First, you need to undo the changes you made to your website like domain forwarding. Next you need to contact your WordPress hosting provider. Some WordPress hosting providers configure their servers in a way that allows you to automatically redirect users from non-www to www URL and vice-versa. Choose the one and then stick to it and don’t forget to enter your prefered URL in WordPress settings.

    How Blessed & pleasant Today is!
    It took me 51 days to solve all these problems.
    My site problems started with „Error establishing Database Connection“.
    I visited many web forums for help but to no avail, until I changed my host.
    The new host did all they could then my admin back end started working. My site started another error “ Internal Server Error“ and this was solved after googling for solution. Then the third error started „Too many redirection“.

    I read this post and did all prescribed solutions, also to no avail. I Continued reading the comments until I came across SARAH HAYES comment. Guess what?
    A single capitalLetter that I used in my domain name caused the error.

    This is what I did:
    I replaced myDomainName.com with mydomainname.com in my wordpress database and my wp-config.php file and the problem was solved immediately.

    What a painful lesson to learn. NEVER USE CAPITAL LETTERS FOR DOMAIN NAMES in your website settings and files.
    always use small letters all through.
    Thanks everyone for sharing.

    Hi there,

    I want to share my solution. I had the same issue and I was searching for a hole day to fix that. I had tried all of the solutions above, but nothing worked for me. For me it has something to do with my hoster.

    After I deactivated my ssl certificate it workt again. So I dug deeper and find the reason. The ssl certifacation was for my domain without „www“. After I activated ssl again and changed this lines in wp-config, everythink worket again:

    FROM
    define(‚WP_HOME‘,’https://www.example.com‘);
    define(‚WP_SITEURL‘,’https://www.example.com‘);

    TO (without www)
    define(‚WP_HOME‘,’https://example.com‘);
    define(‚WP_SITEURL‘,’https://example.com‘);

    I hope I could help somebody with the same problem.

          The error means that there is an extra colon : in your wp-config.php file’s code at line 83. You need to edit that file using an FTP client, and go to the line 83. The code on that line has a misplaced or unwanted colon.

      Connect to your website using an FTP client. Locate the .php file and download it to your computer as a backup. Once you have it on your computer, you can safely delete it from your server. Your redirects should work fine now.

    Thanks for the post. My client’s site had this issue and it was caused by a plugin called the „Verve SSL“ which alters the https and http URL settings.

    Hello Everyone, I had the same issue (Too many redirects) and I wanted to share my solution.

    I have an intranet with a custom made theme.

    The issue started when I changed the Front End template in Reading Settings, from Your latest post to a Static page. I switched back to Latest Post and it worked.

    I didn’t notice it right away because I was logged in all the time. I only saw it when I tried to log back in. But I had made so many changes that I didn’t know what was the problem right away, leading me to this great post!

        Hi Laura, I’m glad it helped.

        It turned out that I was using the wp_redirect( home_url() ) function in my index.php, which generated the home_url() so it redirected back to that same page, which will cause and infinite redirect loop.

        I ended up removing that line of code from the index.php and using the static page as the home page. If the user is not logged in, instead of redirecting it simply displays the login form.

    recently I installed Wordpress and Travelo – Travel and Booking Theme. Everything worked smoothly from the beginning. Then too_many_redirects issue occured on my screen. I have an access to my Wordpress Admin Panel. Everything is set well (site url, wordpress url), my permalinks are set on Day and name. I deactivated all plugins, deleted .htaccess file, contacted my host provider (they were nice and trying to help me) and we found out that Travelo theme causing the issue. Everytime I activate Travelo the issue occures. When I change the theme everything is in perfect shape. I concacted Soap Theme Support and waiting for their solution. If you guys have an idea how to fix it, please let me know. Thanks.

    I am wondering if anyone else has seen redirect issue(s) related to using the plugin named Rename wp-login.php. I like using that plugin to change the default address of wp-admin. I have used it along with a function that adds a specific sting to the end of the login URL (example: ?jedi=theforce). This additional function uses a couple redirects. The function only specifies that if the string is missing or not correct, then redirect to Google. It (I think) has caused the too many redirects on one of my sites. If anyone has a possible resolution, please let us know.
