Hi everyone,

I will heed the advice here.

Thanks again

ok that worked, both admin and site is running now. thanks !

If i update the URL in the general settings and have “www” in both, my site won’t load and i need to edit the functions.php to force it back to be without the “www” .

I will try checking the domain directing method to ensure if I’m using their name servers.

Sorry but, where can i check that information ?

Update:

Ok i managed to log into my admin panel using another computer, maybe i didnt clear my cache on the other computer.

I can login to my admin panel now, but the site wouldn’t load. It still says ” ” Too many redirects occurred trying to open https://www.xxx. …this might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page. “

My current .htaccess file (both in the “www” folder and “public_html” folder) :

“# 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”

My current settings in the “general” tab of my WP-Admin is :

wordpress address URL – ” https://viralarchives.com “
site address URL – “https://viralarchives.com ”

Admin panel loads, site doesn’t load. What could be wrong?

Thanks for the help, much appreciated !

If i add your instructions, it is below, but it doesnt’ help anything:

# 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>

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.viralarchives\.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.viralarchives.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# END WordPress

Removed the statements from the functions.php file.

In my .htaccess, this is what it is, which is the default :

# 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

I just realised there are 2 directories with .htaccess files,
1) /public_html
2) /www

Which one do i edit?

The error message i get now from my WP-admin book mark is :

“Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server”.

Entering my website URL gives me the error message:

” Too many redirects occurred trying to open https://www.xxx. …this might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page. ”

Thanks Andrea.

I’ve copied your code into my .htaccess file and followed your instructions, but i still can’t load my admin page nor load my website.

The reason i edited the .htaccess file in the first place was because editing the WP settings/general didn’t do anything for my site, so i contacted my host at Hostgator and he told me to edit my .htaccess file…

How come the settings doesn’t go back if i just removed what i edited in my .htaccess file?
