    Website was running 4.4 then updated to 4.4.1 and started having the redirect loop on the front of the website. Sub-pages of of the website work, and access to the wp-admin panel works fine. The problem is only a re-direct loop from the main page.

    – disabled ALL plugins = problem still persists
    – changed wordpress/site url from WWW to not having www = problem still persists
    – deleted .htaccess file completely = problem still persists
    – deleted all (meta_key = ‘_wp_old_slug’) from the wp_postmeta table = problem still persists
    – installed new theme (twentysixteen) = problem still persists

    Hi @mark_cox From your earlier post:

    I have several WordPress sites that were effected by this problem. I found the same workaround (inserting index.php in the Admin URL).

    The problem in this topic isn’t the same as that issue. It was something that was reproducible on demand and the work around did not involved inserting index.php in the admin URL.

    But as Marius asked, can you provide a link to your site?

    @jan Dembrowski

    Oh yes, my apologies. There is no redirect loop on the frontend of the website, only when trying to login to the wp-admin. I see others have also posted my problem in this thread by mistake; if a more relevant post is not already started I’ll create a new one.

    My issue has been corrected. I suspect my hosting company fixed it before I could notify them.

    [ SOLUTION ]
    It seems this error is only caused by having ANY capital case characters in the WordPress Address (URL or the Site Address (URL). So you have to ensure your url’s both have no capitals.

    examples:
    https://www.domainname.com = works without problem
    https://domainname.com = works without problem
    https://www.Domainname.com = redirect loop
    https://DomainName.com = redirect loop

    * Thank you @marius(Clorith) for pointing this out.

    Yep – Thanks Adrian – Fixed my site as well!
    All lowercase works!

    Thanks to all.

    I had the infinitely redirecting static home page problem that went away by getting rid of pretty permalinks.

    Marius’ and others’ lower-case url solution allowed me to return to my original permalinks.

    What a valuable asset you all are.

    @henry88g – agreed – that lowercase change allowed me to return to my original permalink settings and my site is now functional.

    thanks to all for the hard work to come up with this solution. I am very new to WP but already I am very impressed with this Community!

    Good morning, I can see the isue solved for you, unfortunately not for me.
    The side address is a bit steange for me here in Germany, but taking care if uppercase lowercase does not solve a thing.
    Any other suggestions? My address involves dashes …
