• Hi, when I attempt to login to my dashboard I get a message that there this webpage has a redirect loop. When I ask for more it says:

    The webpage at https://www.simplyhis.org.au/wp-admin/ has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

    I have cleared my cookies and the ISP is of no help. I can access my cpanel and I am able to get to the back end of the site with my ftp client.

    I am wondering if I should manually re-install wordpress 3.6 or is there something else I can do? Will someone help me please, I have been reading and re-reading the forums but am no further ahead in understanding what I should do.

    Thanks you,

    Ron

    Hi Krishna,

    Thank you for your post. I have just attempted to login however my attempt was unsuccessful.

    The message received was:

    Error code: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

    Try:
    – switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    Hello Esmi, thank you for your input.

    1) I followed these instructions:
    a) Via FTP or your host’s file manager, navigate to the wp-contents folder (directory)
    b) Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename the folder “plugins” to “plugins.hold”
    c) Login to your WordPress administration menus (/wp-admin)

    When I navigated to the simplyhis.org.au page and attempted to login I achieved the same result:

    The webpage at https://www.simplyhis.org.au/wp-admin/ has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

    2) I followed your instructions
    ” switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.”

    And then navigated to my site and received this message:

    Unable to Access the Network:
    The connection to https://www.simplyhis.org.au was interrupted by a change in the network connection.
    Check your Internet connection.
    Check any cables and reboot any routers, modems, or other network devices you may be using.
    Error code: ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED

    3) Using my FTP (FileZilla) I took out both of these changes and accessed my site, it came up a bit squiffy but had already signed me in to the dashboard!

    I was able to then update to WordPress 3.6.1 which I did immediately.

    Now the site is still not right and I still cannot login and still getting the error message:

    Error code: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

    NOW:

    It seems that navigating to my site:
    https://www.simplyhis.org.au

    actually automatically LOGIN to my dashboard!

    Whoever navigates to my site is automatically in my dashboard!

    Please help, I don’t know what to do.

    Thank you

    I don’t get that error. I go to your site as it should be. Try again and report back.

    You are correct. Thank you.
    However the login issue persists.

    First deactivate all your plugins, delete the unused plugins (if any), revert to 2013 theme and then Manually update from a fresh download of WordPress except wp-content – do not overwrite but delete wp-admin and wp-includes and replace them with fresh copies.

    Okay, thank you, how can I deactivate my plugins if I cannot get into my dashboard?

    The message I received ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS is when I attempt to get into my dashboard.

    Okay. This is what I did.

    I changed to 2013 Theme and de-activated all plugins.

    I have downloaded wordpress and by FTP deleted wp-admin and wp-includes; replacing them with the new versions.

    Attempted to log-in – unsuccessful.
    Error code: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

    THEN: I saw that after failing to login, when I went back to the site https://www.simplyhis.org.au I found that there is the grey line up top indicating I am logged in.

    Then I changed back to my preferred theme (Revolution Blue) and reactivated plugins.

    Then I updated again to WordPress 3.6.1 as it said I was still on 3.6. Update successful.

    Then I log out.

    Navigated to the site and attempted to Log in – unsuccessful
    Error code: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

    Navigated back to the site to find that I am logged in.

    Any clues?

    via FTP or your hosting control panel, you may rename your plugins folder by adding something like -HOLD. That will deactivate all plugins. Similarly, you can revert to the default theme also by renaming all other themes. Keep them that way and then try to login.
