Hi Nebu,

Thanks for your reply. I have went ahead and deactivate the theme that I had (which changed the UI of the site as it should) but it didn’t fix the admin loop.

I also deactivated the plugins by changing the plugins folder name to “plugins-disable” and it broke the UI of the website but didn’t fix the loop and the htaccess keeps being rewritten with the hummingbird code shared above.

Not sure what else to try at this point.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Patrick,

Yes, I just confirmed that all those things were removed and cleared. And I also went through many articles online including the one you sent! Unfortunately, I am facing the same issues. This is why I wanted to have a clean .htaccess to make sure I rule out the hummingbird plugin.

From your article, I did everything except the htaccess file which I am having issues with. Whenever I remove it it gets regenerated by WordPress and the hummingbird code is also added.

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for getting back to me. I am not sure why but this started when I installed the plugin and since I can’t access the admin I tried to remove it manually by delete the files via ftp but it’s still happening.

Here is the code that keeps getting added after I remove it from the .htaccess:

# BEGIN WP-HUMMINGBIRD-CACHING
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WP-HUMMINGBIRD-CACHING" and "END WP-HUMMINGBIRD-CACHING" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
