   Hi,
   I had this error on the product tag page. I tried all the possible repairs mantioned above with no luck.
   Finally, I had to rename slug for tags not to be numbers, eg. 2016, so I renamed it to r2016 and it started to work!
   It must have been caused by some wordpress update, because it have been working few years before with tags named as numbers.

     Thanks for sharing what worked for you, if your product page is created by a plugin you may want to try reaching out to the plugin’s support to let them know about that issue

   Hi,

   My whole website is running properly, but the homepage is redirected too many times and same issue with the wp-admin page too. I tried all the methods you mentioned but nothing worked for me.

   Please advice me if there is any another solution for that.

   Thanks in advance…

     If none of the methods from the article worked, you would want to reach out to your hosting provider for them to see if there are any issues they can see on their end.

   My web site is a Bitnami Wordpress deployment on Google Cloud Platform.

   When I use:
   define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http:/example.cloud’);

   the home page gets redirected to itself and browsers error message.
   I now use the original Bitnami setting and it works great !
   define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://’ . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . ‘/’);

     You are missing a slash next to your http in the first define statement but thank you for sharing your workaround.

   I had to desactivate a plugin and it worked back fine. I identified the plugin to desactivate by looking into my URL where I was getting a redirect error. The plugin name was written there.

   I’ve tried all the steps here with no luck today. Luckily my website is functioning ok but I can’t log into the wp-admin dashboard for anything.

   What are the other options? There must be other ways I can figure out what’s causing it?

     I’m having the same. My site works fine for visitors, but I only get the redirect error for the backend, my WP dashboard.
     It’s a new site and I don’t even have any plugins installed yet. I’m stumped.

   Holy Cow That worked, I’ve done many websites migrations and never ran into this issue. Thank you the define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://example.com’);
   define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://example.com’); worked with the www.

    Hi!

    Thank you for your post…

    I was able to solve mine changing the WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME to lowercase letters. I capitalized each word formerly for readability and as it turned out, it redirects post paginated pages.

    Everything seems fine now. Thank You

    I made a redirect in ADDOn Domain to rid my site of a tail, “/blog”, behind my URL, appeared when launched the site. This was in my opinion automatically done, as I have two sites on the same PUBLIC_html directory. probably to avoid conflict of files with the same name of the two sites

    None of these fixes worked for me. In the end it turns out I had setup a custom page rule in CloudFlare a long time ago to treat the wordpress dashboard different to the rest of the site. It had “SSL – Flexible” set which causes the error. I just set the rule to “Full” and it works fine again.

    I also had the problem, so I started searching for a solution and found out that the CDN was causing that error. I switched it off and it worked again

    • Jennifer

      Thank God I saw your reply. I thought because I had added the Yoast SEO plugin, it was causing the issues, but I had also activated CDN in my control panel and that was the problem!

21. Dan

    Just had this happen to me on a new site I’m working on. The issue turned out that I created my child theme with spaces in the name. As soon as I renamed the child theme folder to my-child-theme it worked. I did have to go and make my child theme active again to make it work right. Hope this saves someone so grief and aggravation!

    I’m finding that when I try to set my Permalink to Post Name I get the redirect issue. When I set it to Plain, no issues. I’ve disabled all the plugins and still the same thing.

      Hi Maria,

      You can fix this by adding this code to your WordPress site’s wp-config.php file.

      define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
      define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

    I tried all the things mentioned in the blog but issue still persisted so I did what Jake Philips(one of the comment above) did and I found that something had changed the permalink structure setting to:
    /’/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/’

    I changed it back to (as the comment suggests) :
    /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    and then everything was working fine again…

      Hi, CINDY.
      That’s because you didn’t use Yoast plugin, and didn’t set the rules on Facebook tab. The issue is related to open graph protocol.

35. Khori Carnes

    Hi. I am having a some what odd issue, i feel. My redirect issue is that when i attempt to access my wordpress admin page using my domain, it redirects me to godaddy.com. my only explanation I can come up with is that i purchased my domain name from godaddy. However i purchased my web hosting from hostgator. Regardless, i can not access my admin page for wordpress to begin establishing my new website.

    Any and all help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Khori,

      You can contact GoDaddy support and they can help you point out your domain name to your hosting provider. All you need to do is go to your GoDaddy account and point Name Server settings for your domain name to HostGator.

    In my case the problem was special characters in the URL. You can’t have those with wordpress. E.g. German umlauts: ÄÖÜ – need to be converted.

    Responder

    • Teemu

      Yes and no. I succesfully ran a website with “ä” character in there for a few years. But this time this might be the reason why I’m searching help to this problem here with a website that now has the same “ä” character there also…

    I panicked when I could not access my website home screen (though I could the other pages). I messed around with the Settings=>General URL settings, and I saw that the same address appeared as the Wordpress URL and the website URL—which meant it was going around in circles, as you pointed out. I fiddled with that for awhile, almost locking myself out of Wordpress altogether, but then deactivated several recently installed plugins. Fixed! I’m not sure which plugin caused it—I will investigate that, by omitting the one I think is most likely and one-by-one reactivating the others, but my suggestion is to follow your article from the bottom up. Check out those recent plugins!

    I had just enabled CDN and SSL in Bluehost for my WordPress site when this started happening. I found that something had changed the permalink structure setting to:
    /’/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/’
    I changed it back to:
    /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
    and then everything was working fine again…

    Hi,
    Your article is really good and may be a solution of my recent problem. But I am not a WordPress expert and not enough brave to experiment with my site, though the blog is completely built by myself.

    However, I’m seeing the following things from last two days–

    “This page isn’t working
    m redirected you too many times.
    Try clearing your cookies.
    ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS”

    I’ve tried many times after clearing cookies, still, I can’t log into my site.

    Can you please give a solution?

    My problem seemed to be a mixture of plugins and wp-config.php. After deactivating my plugins, I was able to access my site but not my wp-admin area. I fixed this by updating my wp-config with the codes provided above. However, they worked only after I put them before the “/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */” line. This was something you guys didn’t include in your tutorial but I found somewhere else. So thanks for everything. My site works now.

    Just wanted to say this article helped me a great deal… Here’s my case:

    WP installed in a directory: domain.com/widget

    domain.com .htaccess edited for SEO purposes to say
    DirectoryIndex /widget/index.php /widget/

    This caused the “too many redirects” issue. Possibly because of the trailing slash in the domain.com .htaccess file??

    Anyway, this fixed it:

    domain.com .htaccess edited to:
    DirectoryIndex /widget

    Now it works.

    Huzzay for cPanel!!!

42. Mirjam

    My issue is that trying to access the login page keeps giving me a redirect to https:// but my site is in http://. Have tried everything, adding home url to config.php, disabling plugins, renewing .htaccess. There is no redirect defined in CPanel so I’m lost as to why this is happening. The site is available, but I cannot access admin.

    Getting a bit hopeless here…

    Thanks a lot, Finally i solve it by spending whole week. only adding to the wp-config.com
    define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://example.com’);
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://example.com’);

    Responder

45. Adrian

    One way that you can create the infinite redirect loop is to set WordPress Address and Site Address using camel case, MyExampleWebsite.com for example . The domain part of a URI is supposed to be case-insensitive, the file part has to be case sensitive to cope with case-sensitive file systems. WordPress breaks if you use camel-case.

    I had the same problem, solved it by going to cpanel then look in the security tab if there is mod security , if yes deactivate it.

    That was it for me.

    Thank you for writing this. I set up redirection with Easy HTTPS Redirection, and ran into the “too many redirections” problem. I solved it by turning off a property in Woo Commerce. In the checkout settings, I had both “force secure checkout” and “force HTTP when leaving the checkout” selected. I unselected the “force HTTP when leaving the checkout”, and no longer see the “too many redirections” problem. I didn’t have to edit any .htaccess file.

    Responder

48. Asser

    If the issue is happening only when accessing the admin control panel , then look at the wp-admin and check if there is htaccess file in place (www/wp-admin/.htaccess ) and if you find one then rename it and refresh the admin URL (example.com/wp-admin/) and it should work .

    Hi, I’ve tried all the troubleshooting options here but nothing seems to work. The last thing I remember doing was to take a full backup using the Backup Wizard on the cPanel. Could that in any way lead to this error (Too many redirects)

    Here’s a list of what I’ve done so far to fix this issue:
    1) Removed the backup file from the root directory
    2) Edited the wp-config file by adding those 2 lines of code, both with and without www
    3) Deleted the .htaccess files from the root directory and wp-content folder one at a time
    4) Scanned through all the comments to see if there is any possible solution, to no avail

    I have sought for the help of the root admin, hopefully we’d be able to fix this ASAP. If you think I’ve missed out on anything or could try anything apart from these, please do let me know.

    Thanks

      I could finally fix the problem. It had something to do with the backend I guess. My admin reset the server and that breathed life into my website again. Thanks for this post though. Good luck to all trying to fix this problem. May the force be with you
