ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

  • I was in the site a few days ago and things were fine. Suddenly I get this error when trying to log into admin. I looked at various solutions here and none seemed to work. Cleared cookies, etc.

    I am running my own server and I have many WP sites on the server and I have checked others and none are having this problem, so the problem isn’t the server side.

    I can get to the home page, but when I try to log into admin, I get the error. I actually do get logged in as I see the admin toolbar, but I can’t access admin. If I try to access the dashboard I get the error.

    If I try to click on the other tabs, I get a “Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.”

    The website is:

    https://minnesotavikingsfanclubofnewmexico.com/

    I need to update the site but can’t. I even renamed the plugins folder, that didn’t work. Don’t know what else to do? Help please!

  • Wow, this is a new one. I have had this on sites before but never on WordPress.

    Here’s what’s happening when you see that error..

    When you go to your login screen it is automatically redirecting to another page,
    When you get to that page that also redirects you,
    Browser decides you are spammer and blocks you.

    The fact that you renamed the plugin folder and didn’t fix shows it is not a plugin issue.

    I think your site is missing several key files. Do you have a backup?

    list .htaccess here

    check permissions /wp-admin/index.php, must be 644.

    No backup….typical huh…

    which htaccess, main one or admin one?

    index.php is 644

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    # Wordfence WAF
    <Files “.user.ini”>
    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
    Require all denied
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    </IfModule>
    </Files>

    # END Wordfence WAF

    Thanks!!

    No ideas?

    Is there a way to get the data out of the site and replace the WP files, hopefully resolving the issue? Is it possible a config file got messed with?

    Help please!
