Admin Log-in Redirects to WP Install

  • Hi computer whizzes. This is the fourth day I have been trying to fix this problem on https://www.ifitshipitshere.com with my host iPower, much to my chagrin and many tears.

    Beginning on the 18th, when trying to log in to my blog as admin, I would get a redirect to the install page. Viewers of the blog would get a message that it was not redirecting properly.

    The only thing that preceded this was my changing the preferred domain from https://ifitshipitshere.com to https://www.ifitshipitshere.com in my google webmaster tools. But I do not see how that can be the problem. I did not add any new plugins or update wordpress.

    The first tech member on here to review said there was an error on page 2 regarding too many queries. So we thought it was an SQL database problem.

    Steps we have taken:
    Initially we thought the problem was some bad code found from WP Super Cache which was deactivated long ago, but even after removing that from the SQL database in the active_plugins line and then repeatedly turning off all plug-ins and trying to turn them back on one by one does NOT seem to be working.

    About 10-15 minutes after all the plug-ins are turned off, the blog will load or let me log-in as admin. So I assume it’s a plug-in.

    But as I turned on the plug-ins one at a time – and wait about 10 minutes between turning on each one- it seems to work fine (no immediate redirect or problem comes up) then about 60 minutes afterwards the redirect loop begins again, so I’m having trouble determining if a particular plug-in is causing the problem.

    Do I need to wait up to an hour after turning each plug-in on to determine the problem? Or perhaps one of you can see another problem.

    FYI: when the following are turned on, seems I can log-in and work on the blog for about 2 hours:
    jetpack by wordpress
    wp instagram widget
    wordpress popular posts
    feedburner form
    wp google analytics

    I am guessing the problem lies within one of the following plug-ins:
    yoast seo
    google analytics dashboard for WP
    Aksimet
    all-in-one favicon

    Please, please advise. I’m losing money, traffic, rankings and it’s killing me.
    Thanks so much in advance,
    Laura
