Admin Login Screen Keeps Redirecting?

  • I’m not sure what is going on. I’ve been working on this website for almost two months now with no problems, but then one day I tried to log into my website by typing in the following:

    mysitename.com/wordpress/wp-admin

    Instead what happens is the page will redirect me to:

    mysitename.com/wordpress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmysitename.com%2Fwordpress%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

    I have no idea where this is coming from. I can’t log in to the back end of my website anymore and I don’t want to lose all of the work that I’ve already put into this website. I am aware that someone posted almost a year ago with the same issue, but I can’t seem to fix the problem. I did follow what was said in the codex and it didn’t manage to fix things.

    I also did the typical things such as renaming my plugin folder in my ftp in order to disable them. I cleared my cookies and my cache about five times now and I’ve tried various other “fixes” and nothing has done anything.

    My website name is https://musicsplace.com

    My host is godaddy and it’s on a linux server. Please, I really want to get this sorted out so I can get back to working on my website. Thanks in advance for any advice anyone takes the time to give me!

  • I have the same issue right now.. Did you already find a solution for your problem?

    I also have this problem and I’m going crazy!! I have just worked on my website very long and I was about to publish it when this went wrong. The website looks al scrambled and I can’t get to the login page!

    Can you please help me out, I need to have this website online by tomorrow, we already put word about it in the papers about the new website, please!!

    https://mysitename/?page_id=2%2Fwp-login.php&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mysitename.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

    Yes, I found out how to fix it!
    The explanation is in part 1.2:
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL

    I accidently changed my website URL, causing the wp-admin page to be redirected to a blurry homepage. Not being able to login, leads to not being able to fix what I did wrong!

    Sollution in short:
    – Downlaod FileZilla
    – Connect to the website using FTP inlog data, which you have received from your WebHoster (in my case YourHosting)
    – Download all the data about your website, in particular functions.php (or make one; see link above)
    – Change this in notepad
    – Upload it again by FileZilla

    And voilá!! You can login again!

    I’m so happy that it worked!

    Ah thanks for the explanation. I solved it in a different way.. I looked up the table ‘wp_options’ (or something similair) in the database. In there, the site URL was in the first row. I changed it to what it should be and that worked aswell :)!

    I think I did something wrong again. Now I am able to login again, and the website is looking fine, but the program WordPress itself isn’t. If I want to edit pages ‘wysiwig’ options are shown like it html. If I press on html nothing happens. All the letters are white. I can’t change the status of the pages. I can’t activa the Maintance Mode plugin, nothing happens. I can’t even log out!

    I think I have accidently changed something when trying to get the original URL back. Can someone help me with this?
