I think you are infected with some malware or may be your site is been hacked by someone. You have to solve this issue ASAP.
A malicious redirect is code inserted into a website with the intent of redirecting the site visitor to another website. Malicious redirects are typically inserted into a website by attackers with the intent of generating advertising impressions. However, some malicious redirections can have more damaging effects. A malicious redirect can exploit vulnerabilities in a site visitor’s computer through web-based scripts to install malware on unprotected machines. As such, it is critical to remove malicious redirects from your site.

Removing this redirect: </strong>
Start by downloading your .htaccess file. Your cpanel file manager might not show you this “hidden” file, and sometimes downloading it to your computer’s hard drive might make it disappear even though you can see it in your FTP application. You will need to remove the redirection, leaving behind the code necessary for the operation of your site. This can be hosting provider dependent, as there are often entries within an htaccess file necessary for your site’s functionality.
<strong>
Ad networks</strong>
Some advertising networks are lenient in their standards for the advertising they accept into their network. The site may be completely free of malware, but an advertising network may be redirecting site visitors. Determining which advertising network may be the culprit can be a very difficult task as malicious advertising redirects can be served up sporadically and unpredictably.

<strong>Removing this redirect:</strong> If a site is maliciously redirecting your site visitors, if you have exhausted all other options and you have advertising networks placed on your site, removing those ad networks may solve the malicious redirection problem.

Hello @kstylesapp

I think i have solution for your problem, Just follow these simple steps mentioned below, I hope you would be able to fix this issue in a short period of time.

Step 1. Clear Browser Cookies and Cache
If you are able to access your website normally using a different browser, then you need to clear browser cookies and cache on your regular browser.

Step 2. Deactivate All WordPress Plugins
To fix this, you need to deactivate all WordPress plugins on your website. Now, normally you can just go to Plugins ? All Plugins page inside the WordPress admin area and deactivate plugins from there.

Step3. Fix WordPress URLs
Normally, you can view these options under Settings ? General page.Since you may not have access to the WordPress admin area, you may need to fix the WordPress URLs using an FTP client or the File Manager app. Simply connect to your WordPress site using an FTP client and go to /wp-content/themes/your-theme-folder/.

Step 4. Reset WordPress .htaccess File
Sometimes WordPress plugins may make changes to your website’s .htaccess file which may trigger this error. It is also possible that dectivating a plugin will not remove those changes form your .htaccess file.In that case, you’ll need to manually reset your WordPress .htaccess file.

Step 5. Preventing Error Too Many Redirects in WordPress
If it was a plugin, then you need to report the issue to the plugin’s support forum. See our guide on how to ask for WordPress support. However, if you are unable to get help then you can always find an alternative plugin that does the same thing. If the error was caused by a WordPress site misconfiguration, then you can make a note of it and ensure that your site settings are properly set up.

Please have a look I think it’s been hacked by someone:

Look out for these signs that might show you that your <strong>WordPress site might be hacked.</strong>

1. Unsuccessful login – Hacker could have changed your login password and privileges for admin user.

2. Malicious content is added to your site – Site ahead contains malware – ALERT

3. Suspicious visits from spam websites

4. A sudden drop in traffic

5. Search engine results show Japanese language characters

6. You can’t send/receive emails

7. Site demands cryptocurrency as ransomware – It could be due to a conhive crypto malware hack

8. Suspicious files on your server – Could be due to remote file inclusion vulnerability

9. Unknown users – You must monitor wordpress users

10. “This Site May Be Hacked” message in Google

11. Suddenly your Google Ads are Disapproved

In case you think that your wordpress website might be hacked, we have listed few ways on how to find if WordPress is hacked.

1. Run Malware Scan
Use <strong>WordPress</strong> malware scanner to scan your site for an in depth analysis of your website The scanner will also identify if your WordPress Website is hacked. There are exceptions however. If your website has been shut down due to a hack, the scanner will not be able to access your website at all to perform a scan, as an example. However, if your website is shutdown by the hosting provider, it’s most likely an indication of a hack anyway. Scanner tools look for the irregular redirects, spam, malware redirects, malicious code,  backdoors, and several other security issues in the number of pages of your websites.

2. Monitor WordPress Users
It’s almost difficult to track the activity of a user in WordPress. By the means of various plugins such as User Activity Log, you can keep track of various unusual activities like generation of a new unapproved content, creation of new users, changed user roles, changed existing user’s password etc. These changes can also be the indicators of a hacked WordPress Website.

3. Use Google Webmaster Tools Notifications
Apart from improving the SEO, Google Webmaster Tools will monitor your website for various website infections and provide results based on the information it finds. If your website is being hacked, a notification with the warning sign will show up as the visitors try to visit your WordPress site.

4. Google Scanners
Google safe browsing diagnostics can be used to monitor the WordPress websites. You will receive a clear notification if your site is hacked.

5. Keep track of WordPress Traffic and Site Activity
As a general rule of thumb, a huge increase in the traffic, especially from the foreign countries that your website doesn’t cater, is one of the best indicator of a hacked wordpress website. The traffic shifts and fluctuations on your website can provide clues that are worth exploring to determine if your website is indeed hacked. Google Analytics and Google Webmaster tools can help your keep track of the activities and traffic on your website.

6. Monitor WordPress Files for Changes
One of the best way to monitor the WordPress files is by checking if any malicious code is being inserted by the hacker. Search for the entire file structure, new files in the web-root and upload directory, functions.php files, modified index.php files and more. When hackers place some malicious code in the files changing the source code may result in WordPress getting hacked . Free plugins such as file changes monitor, can be used to monitor file changes across your WP installation.

7. Bad Content on your site
Check whether your site has been revamped with the new content without any admin approval, unwelcome links in the footer of each page or an invisible code has been added that is only visible to the crawlers like Googlebot can be an indication of a blacklisted WordPress site. Such kind of hacks are known as Gibberish Keywords Hack  &  Japanese Keywords Hack

8. Website slows down or crashes
If you find your website is slow or crashes down, that may be a clear indication that your website has been hacked. The case may be a hacker may have added your WordPress website to a network of spam emails or the network of websites which is not acceptable again. You may find this image.

9. Immediate bounce off in the website traffic
If your website is slow, crashes infrequently or frequently, or has inappropriate content, you may see the bounce rate increase. This increase will be higher if Google has blacklisted your website, as an example In these scenarios, most likely your website is hacked and will require a professional wordpress security services.

10. Website opens Pop-Ups on loading
One of the clear indicator of a WordPress site is being hacked is by a display of unintended pop up windows on your site. Some popup windows loading in the background but may not be visible when you open the site. You may see those pop-ups if you minimize your browser as they take up a large portion of your screen.

These are some of the basic WordPress Errors you may experience

<strong>ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT </strong>— Caused by a slow or overloaded web server.
<strong>ERR_CACHE_MISS</strong> — If you see this, look into your website’s cache or PHP tools like plugins, as they’re very likely the cause.
<strong>500 Internal Server Error</strong> — A serious error that can usually be traced back to server file corruption.
<strong>Error Establishing a Database Connection </strong>— Corruption in your database or a database server issue can be the root of this problem.
<strong>HTTP 503 Service Unavailable</strong> — Indicates an issue with your server.
<strong>HTTP 502 Bad Gateway</strong> — Yet another server issue, often caused by too many visitors overloading it.

You Can solve this issue of Critical error by following these steps:
`Enable Debug in WordPress
Step 1: Connect to your site with FTP.
Step 2: Find wp-config.php in the root folder and open it with a text editor or IDE.
Step 3: Place the following code at the bottom of the document, just before the final message, then save and close the file:
define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );

define( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false );

Roll Back Your Site
Revert to a Default Theme
Disable All Plugins
Raise the PHP Memory Limit

On the Settings -> General screen in a single site installation of WordPress, there are two fields named “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)”. They are important settings, since they control where WordPress is located. These settings control the display of the URL in the admin section of your page, as well as the front end, and are used throughout the WordPress code.

The “Site Address (URL)” setting is the address you want people to type in their browser to reach your WordPress blog.
The “WordPress Address (URL)” setting is the address where your WordPress core files reside.
Note: Both settings should include the https:// part and should not have a slash “/” at the end.

Every once in a while, somebody finds a need to manually change (or fix) these settings. Usually this happens when they change one or both and discover that their site no longer works properly. This can leave the user with no easily discoverable way to correct the problem. This article tells you how to change these settings directly.

Additional information is presented here for the case where you are moving WordPress from one site to another, as this will also require changing the site URL. You should not attempt to use this additional information if you’re only attempting to correct a “broken” site.

I think you should contact your Hosting Provider First or maybe this particular plugin you are using is causing an error in your website. Try to use another Plugin may be your theme doesn’t support this one!

Clear Cookies to Resolve Login Issues
WordPress uses cookies for login authentication, so the first step in troubleshooting WordPress login issues is the simplest one. Clear your browser cookies and cache.

In Google Chrome, click on the browser settings menu and then select More Tools ? Clear Browsing Data.
This will launch the Chrome Settings page with ‘Clear Browsing Data’ popup displayed on the screen.

From here, you need to select ‘Clear cookies and other site data’ and ‘Cached images and files’ options.
Next, click on the ‘Clear data’ button and Google Chrome will clear the browser cache.

Also, make sure that your browser has cookies enabled. After doing that restart your browser and then try to login. This should fix the issue for most folks.

Update WordPress URL Settings
WordPress comes with a settings option that has the URL of your website and the URL of your WordPress installation.

If you had access to your WordPress admin area, then you could see this option under Settings ? General page.

Delete .htaccess File in WordPress
Sometimes .htaccess file can get corrupted which can result in internal server errors or login page refreshing error.

Simply access your website through an FTP client or via the File Manager app in your hosting account dashboard.

Once connected, locate the .htaccess file in the root folder of your website and download it to your computer as backup`

SIMPLY FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO UPLOAD FEATURED IMAGE IN WORDPRESS
Step 1: Edit the post or page you want to add an image to
Step 2: Click on “Set Featured Image
Step 3: Choose an Image from Your Media Library
Step 4: Click on “Set featured image” blue button

Next Steps…Resizing Your Featured Images
Now that you know how to properly set your featured images the next step is to learn how image resizing is handled in WordPress so you can display them at the right dimensions on your live site. For this, it’s important to note that every theme is a bit different and while most themes use the native WordPress resizing function which only crops images based on theme defined sizes on upload (each time you upload an image it is resized to every custom defined image size in your theme)

Other themes, much like our premium “Total Theme“, have their own built-in resizing functions that are more optimized and allow greater user control. If you are a developer you may want to checkout the core add_image_size function to learn how to define custom sizes in your theme and if you are a user then you should check out the documentation for your theme or contact the theme developer and ask how you can manage your featured image sizes.

But generally speaking most themes will work with the WordPress image resizing function (not really because it’s better but because it’s easier) so be sure to see if your theme has any custom options to select your custom sizes either in their theme panel or in the Customizer under Appearance > Customize. If you locate settings and you can tweak them accordinly and if not, most likely the theme has preset sizes, but in either case if your theme is using the native WordPress sizing function simply go to Plugins > Add New and search for and install a popular and high rated “Regenerate Thumbnails” plugin than visit it’s settings and run the script so that images on your site can pass through the correct functions and get resized either according to your custom settings or the theme’s default settings.`

To Change your site Favicon you can follow these simple steps:

1.Log in to your WordPress website.
2.Click on ‘Appearance’.
3. Click on ‘Customize’.
4. Click on ‘Site Identity’.
Here you can define your site name, tagline, logo, and icon. The image you set under “Site Icon” will be used as your site’s favicon:

WordPress comes with two built-in taxonomies called categories and tags. These taxonomies allow you to easily sort your content into different topics.

When used correctly, categories and tags can also be very helpful in improving your WordPress SEO.

WordPress allows you to add descriptions for your categories. However, many users don’t notice it because they create categories when writing a post which doesn’t let them add description.

Here is how to easily add description to your categories.

Head over to Posts ? Categories page. If you are creating a new category, then you can simply enter category name and description here and then click on ‘Add new category’ button.

Add category description

If you want to add description to an existing category, then you need to click on the ‘Edit’ link below that category.

This will take you to category edit screen where you can add description for your category.

Editing a category to add description

Don’t forget to click on the ‘Update’ button to save your changes.

Repeat the process to add descriptions to all your categories. You can use the same method to add descriptions for tags as well.

Display Category Description on Category Archive Page
Most WordPress themes will automatically display the category description on the category archive pages.

Category description shown on category archive page in WordPress

However if your theme does not display category description on archive pages, then you will need to edit your theme files.

Connect to your WordPress site using an FTP client and then go to /wp-content/themes/your-current-theme/ folder.

Now you will need to locate and edit category.php file. If your theme doesn’t have category.php file, then you will need to edit archive.php file.

Copy and paste this code where you would like the category description to be displayed.

<?php
the_archive_description( ‘<div class=”taxonomy-description”>’, ‘</div>’ );
?>
You can now save your changes and upload the file back to your website.

After that, you can visit the category archive page on your website to see the description in action.

Display Category Description in WordPress Theme
If you want to display the category description in other parts of your website, then you can also use the category_description template tag:

<?php echo category_description(3); ?>
Don’t forget to replace 3 with your own category ID.

If you want to display category description inside a single post, then you can use this code.

$catID = get_the_category();
echo category_description( $catID[0] );
This code simply gets all categories for the current post and then outputs the category description of the first category.

If you would like to list all your WordPress categories with a description in list format, then you can add this code in your theme’s functions.php file:

function wpb_catlist_desc() {
$string = ‘

‘;
$catlist = get_terms( ‘category’ );
if ( ! empty( $catlist ) ) {
foreach ( $catlist as $key => $item ) {
$string .= ‘
• ‘. $item->name . ‘<br />’;
  $string .= ‘‘. $item->description . ‘

‘;
}
}
$string .= ‘

‘;

return $string;
}
add_shortcode(‘wpb_categories’, ‘wpb_catlist_desc’);
This code creates a shortcode which displays all your categories and their descriptions in a plain list.

You can now use [wpb_categories] in your posts and pages. To use this shortcode inside a text widget, you will need to enable shortcodes for widgets.

Step One: Download Popup Maker
From your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New, and search for Popup Maker. Once you’ve located the Popup Maker plugin, click install and activate the plugin.

popup maker location in wordpress dashboard

Step Two: Open Popup Maker from the Dashboard
Once you’ve installed Popup Maker you will find a new tab for it in your dashboard. From this tab you can select whether you want to view previously created popups, add new, change you themes, etc. For now, select “Add Popup”

This will open a page where you can name your popup, assign a title, set conditions for the popup, when it will trigger, set the theme, publish, etc. For the time being, let’s just stick with the basics of how to put a popup on your site.

Step Three: Add Text and Append Your Form
For this tutorial, I’ll be making a popup that will open on my home page. After you’ve had some time to familiarize yourself with Popup Maker you can create popups requesting registration, informing viewers of upcoming events, etc. For now, let’s put in some placeholder text and link this popup for a previously made contact form.

wordpress popup form generator; add new popup

Once you have your popup text the way you want it in the rich text editor, adding any Ninja Form is very simple. With both Popup Maker and Ninja Forms installed side by side, you’ll see an “Add Form” button just above the text editor options:

`Click Add Form to see a list of all your Ninja Forms:

shortcode selection box for adding a wordpress popup form with ninja forms

Now that we have your WordPress popup form created, let’s set up when/how it will be presented to your guests.

Step Four: Presenting your WordPress Popup Form
The last three actions are to set your conditions, triggers, and cookies. These options determine how and when a popup opens, and can be set at the far right of the dashboard and below the text box:

conditions, triggers, and cookie settings within popup maker

To make sure the same popup doesn’t arise everywhere, I’m going to set the condition to only show on the home page:

condition settings

…and the trigger to automatically open when the page loads:

trigger settings

Finally, set a cookie that will tell the popup not to open again after it’s already been presented once. Don’t be that website that spams popups, please ??

cookie settings

Step Five: Publish!
Once you have looked over all of your work and you are happy with it, hit “Publish” in the righthand column. You should now have a very basic popup form that opens on your homepage with a simple registration form on page load. Congratulations!
