Update: I have figured out this was caused by a conflict with iThemes Security plugin and some of the settings there. Preview is working again now.

I’m having same issue. Did you find a way to fix this?

You need to change the ownership of the files. My developer did this for me, but my understanding is that it can’t be done via FTP. This link might help

Resolved ??

I managed to get this resolved finally! It was all to do with the Owner/Group of the files via FTP …so simple and yet something I overlooked. Hugely appreciate your time to help to figure out the issue and come up with a solution. Many thanks michalzuber for your advice and help! ??

Yes the site had Password Protected plugin installed – this has been deleted via FTP and I’ve just logged in to the database and found it still showing under Active Plugins. So I removed the reference from here, but still no luck in logging in. Apart from that, the login process was default.

Current active plugins are: Advanced Custom Fields, Akismet, All in One SEO Pack, Contact Form 7, Google XML Sitemap, Highlight Search Terms, jQuery Collapse-O-Matic, Login Logo, Shareaholic, Simple 301 Redirects, Google Fonts. I did not build the site, so unsure if any of these would be causing any issues?

I checked out that other post, but it didn’t help. I’ve cleared cookies/cache and still get the login redirect loop. Thanks for taking the time to help again! ??

Hi thanks michalzuber…I tried your .htaccess code but it returned a 500 internal server error. I have all my WP files now in the root of where the domain is pointing…still redirect loop for login.

Yes https://dev.employment-law.lamp.wiredgroup.com was the dev URL for the site…do you think this has something to do with it…could you explain further or give me something else to try based on your findings? I am totally stuck for ideas now…really appreciate your help! ??

Thanks for the tips! Deactivating plugins does not help (I did this through the database) and the theme should not be causing any issues. It was working perfectly on development URL.

What happened was that the live domain was already pointing to a sub directory on the server with existing website files (non WordPress). The files from this WordPress site were then copied from elsewhere into that same sub directory overwriting the existing files that were there. I’m wondering if there is an option somewhere that needs to be updated to reflect this move? I do not know enough about it, so just throwing some guesses ??

I have tried using: https://www.employment-law.co.nz/wp-admin/ and https://www.employment-law.co.nz/wp-login.php. I do not have redirect_to= in the URL.

Thanks for the tip. I followed your screen cast and can see that wp-login.php goes through many 302 Moved Temporarily redirects and then results in (failed) net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

However, I am unsure how this helps to fix my problem? Could you please advise further? Thanks ??

Yes the error given is “The web page at https://www.employment-law.co.nz/wp-admin/ has resulted in too many redirects.”

Apologies for my lack of knowledge on the subject…are you suggesting I just rename the .htaccess file to htaccess without the dot?

I do not know if this helps to pinpoint any issues, but here is my current .htaccess file (untouched):

# 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

Thanks for taking the time to help ??

Perfect, thanks for posting fried_eggz! Exactly what I needed ??

So it has to go within the loop? I get a very broken layout when I try that. I am using multiple loops and all is fine until I include the code above into one of them ?? Think I’ve messed something up somewhere. Thanks for the tip ??

In case anyone else is looking for this solution, here is what I’ve ended up with…

<?php
$mypostype = get_posts('post_type=profile&posts_per_page=100&order=ASC');
if($mypostype) : ?>
<form action="" id="myform">
<select id="myselect" name="select_post_type" onChange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<?php foreach ( $mypostype as $mypost  ) : ?>
<option value="<?php echo $mypost->post_name; ?>"><?php echo $mypost->post_title; ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
 </select>
</form>
<?php endif ?>

I’m not sure if you still have this problem or not….but I also ran into the same issue and figured out the cause.

In style.php (apart of WP-Creativix theme) this is causing the one column:

.content div {
display: block;
clear:left;
}

Specifically the clear:left; remove or overwrite this and it will solve the problem.
