Redirect loop when using any maintenance plugin

  • This only became an issue since I updated to version 4.5.3.
    After updating, a lot of other things happened that caused me to reset my website with a fresh install, including the redirect error, even without any maintenance plugins.

    Now, I only seem to get this error “ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS”, any time I enable maintenance mode with any maintenance mode plugins.

    I’ve read over this post as well, and did not find any solution.

    I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what’s going on, and have even contacted my web host which then just recommended I post here.

    My website is https://raxtest.tk/. Maintenance mode is not enabled currently, but I will activate it if need be.

    If any more information is needed, I’d be happy to provide it.

  • To put a WordPress site into maintenance mode, you may use the code example below (just upload it to root of the site and you will be in maintenance mode – to stop being in maintenance mode, rename it, or move out of root – the HTML can be whatever you like – the first and last lines are required).

    The file must be named:

    .maintenance

    (dot maintenance)

    <?php $upgrading = time(); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<title>Maintenance</title>
</head>
<body style="background-color: green">
<h2>Site Maintenance Is being Performed</h2>
<h2>Some Downtime is necessary - look back soon</h2>
<h2>Thanks!</h2>
</body>
</html>
<?php die(); ?>

    Hope this helps you and others.
