installation screwed up login
-
After installing timeline express plugin from WP repository, I got messages saying could not load /wp-admin because of too many redirects. I looked at log in URL and it looked like this
https://www.americanstudies.online/wp-admin/admin.php?page=timeline-express-welcome
so how that timeline-express has attached it self to the wp-admin login?
I used sftp to remove the the plugin and the wp-admin loaded ok.
Like an idiot I installed the plugin again thinking that whatever it was had cleared. But alas.
Now I look at dir for plugins and timeline-express isn;t even listed yet again showing up on log in.
I have cleared cache and saame results

Hi @americanstudies,
From the URL it looks like the redirect is occurring when the plugin gets activated. You should be redirected to a welcome screen, but not logged out, and it should only redirect the from the admin page.
When the welcome page is viewed the redirect should no longer take affect.
You can try adding a small snippet to your functions.php file to disable to redirect altogether if you are comfortable trying that. You should only have to need the code in place for a page load or two after the plugin is activated.
Let us know if you’d like to give that a shot.
