I have a WordPress network where I run +/- 10 sites. Recently, I got a redirect error when accessing the wp-admin page for one of the sites. All sites in the network are working fine, I can also access their admin without any issue except for one site.

I get the error: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Here is what I have done:

  • clean all my cookies
  • clean cache in browser, server and cloud
  • rename htaccess
  • rename plugin folder
  • rename theme folder
  • add define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, false); to wp-config

This site has exactly the same configuration as the others, I don’t understand why I can’t reach my admin page.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks

Laurent

I have been experiencing exactly the same thing. I run 5 WordPress sites on the same server, but suddenly started getting ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS when I try to access wp-admin on one of them (the others are fine). If I delete .htaccess entirely in that domain’s subdirectory I can access the admin panel again, similarly if I delete the WordPress code from the top of the .htaccess file (although then I lose the redirects for pretty permalinks).

Having consulted with my host, they advised me that it may be an issue with using SSL and Cloudflare. Once I disabled Cloudflare everything returned to normal. I have now changed the Cloudflare SSL support to ‘Full Strict’ and am waiting for it top propagate.
