Receiving "Error 429: Too Many Requests" when logging into /wp-admin

  • Whenever I try to login to my page using https://www.mywebsite.com/wp-admin I am able to login but only temporarily. Whenever I try to click on something on my dashboard or menu to update my site, it will log me out. Then I have to log back in but this time, after I hit enter, it will display a page on https://www.mywebsite.com/wp-admin that says “Error 429: Too Many Requests” It can happen after clicking just one menu item or after working for a while on my site, it will then kick me out and I have to just keep trying to login. Has this happened to anyone else? And what is the solution?

    Thanks!

    Try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
