If you’ve been using WordPress, you’ve probably encountered the dreaded WordPress Redirect Loop Error at some point in time. There are a few different reasons why this can happen, but you should first check out your .htaccess file inside the root of your server. If you’ve created a redirect inside your .htaccess file to redirect the non-www domain (ex: justincener.com) to the www version (www.justincener.com), you may be causing the redirect loop error.
Follow these easy steps and you’ll get your WordPress Blog and Admin Access Back:
- Backup your .htaccess file on your hard drive
- Delete the .htaccess file from the root of your server
- Go to your blog’s admin panel and log-in
- On the left sidebar, go to Settings –> General and changes your WordPress Address and Blog Address to include www (so it should be http://www.domainname.com instead of http://domainname.com).
- Save Settings
- Take your .htaccess backup and reupload it to the root of your server
Thats it, you should be up and running again!
