  • Hi @hrishikeshbharaligmailcom,

    This seems to be an issue with your host settings.

    Can you contact them and ask if loopback queries on your domain name has been disabled or not?

    Hello Dave,
    I am hosted on a VPS and I am using Cloudflare as a CDN. As I have access to backend terminal, I can configure settings. I am new to this so request you to kindly guide me how to check for “loopback queries“.

    Hi again,

    Can you run the following command in the terminal on your host?

    nslookup thousandmilessite.in

    If it fails, it means that your host is unable to resolve itself.

    You can add a new line to /etc/hosts, so that your host is able to resolve:

    127.0.0.1 thousandmilessite.in

    Hi Dave,
    Thanks a ton for your help.

    You were right on the money! The problem was due to incorrect hosts configuration (I had dabbled with FQDN for setting up a mail server in the past)

    For anyone who might stumble across this thread, I followed this article which helped me resolve the error.

    In addition, this helped me resolve another related error : Unable to edit Theme files in Appearance>Theme Editor

    Now everything is working fine.

    Thanks & Regards,
    Hrishikesh
