Can't login to wp-admin. Too many redirects

Most probably it is because of WordPress home URL or site URL issue. So do the following to resolve the issue.

1: Access the file wp-config.php and add the following.

define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://yourdomain.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://yourdomain.com’);

Replace “yourdomain.com” with the your website name”.

Then rename current .htaccess and create a new .htaccess file with the following contents.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

This could resolve the issue.

Hi

Thank you for replying.

Unfortunately that didn’t work.

Does it matter where in the wp-config.php file you put the define(WP_etc…)?

I have lost access to my Dashboard and Admin and can’t find out why. (I transferred my domain name away from Go Daddy because they failed to alert me to renewal but that may not be the reason). I’m happy to start again, but I don’t want to lose all the work I’ve done over the last nine months, and my hosting is still valud for another month. I cannot find anyone to help me. Someone must have experienced this problem

Hi all

Any other ideas? I’m still not getting anywhere…

The site is michaelbevan.com. Don’t know if that helps…

Michael

Okay…these may be some further clues.

I have noticed all the other “define…” lines in my wp-config.php list the url as dev.michaelbevan.com

I tried putting in define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://dev.michaelbevan.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://dev.michaelbevan.com’) and I got too many redirects coming up on the home page.

I thought that might be a clue so I changed all the other “define…” lines to dev.michaelbevan.com with no effect. I changed them back.

Next I tried putting dev.michaelbevan.com/wp-admin/ in my browser (safari if that’s of any relevance). It opened up one of my pages “Project Prolific” (please ignore the fact that I haven’t been to prolific lately, I’m planning on changing that).

I had noticed that sometimes when I go to my homepage it would also apparently be logged into wordpress. I was able to access the drop down menu with the dashboard link on it. I haven’t been able to reproduce that, but from memory the dashboard link gives “too many redirects” and the other links go the the “Project Prolific” page…

Hey Folks!
It worked for me! I did exactly as instructed and it worked! Now I don’t have to crack open a bottle of Crown Royal to dull the pain.
Whoever came up with this solution, thank you so much!
Cheers,
Don

Hi there,

I would like to implement this potential fix but cannot find the .htaccess file. Would veeeryyyy much appreciate your help, I’m at my wits end here ??

Hello, I have been through a number of articles about redirect loop and found the various methods to get rid. But recently I encountered a problem on particular “single” page which produces “too many redirects error” after changing the slug.

I tried too many things but unfortunately failed to resolve and observed that in past few days ranking for the targeted keyword “SEO company in Udaipur” is declined. I need to fix one asap.

What did I exactly in such scenario?

1. Go to Yoast > Redirects
2. Go to Yoast Redirects Settings
3. Change Redirect method to .htaccess
4. Save Changes
5. Clear Cache & Cookies

Bingo! my page is working fine ??
