The error \u201cTOO MANY REDIRECTS<\/em><\/strong> ERROR<\/em><\/strong>\u201d occurs on the WordPress platform. It might look like a simple problem that has one issue, and you can solve it in a few clicks. Unfortunately, it is one problem that occurred for several reasons, and there are different solutions to get rid of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we have suggested that there are many reasons behind it. We have tried all solutions to identify the culprit and get rid of it. So you have no other option but to try our all solutions to punish the culprit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution<\/g> for Error Too Many Redirects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are the steps to resolve too many redirects are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution #1<\/strong>: Disable All Plugins <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Usually, plugins are designed to get a difficult task done in a few clicks. However, WordPress users add multiple plugins on the platform, and it interferes with one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/strong>: Log in to your WordPress account, and click on \u201cPlugins > Installed Plugins<\/em><\/strong>.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"too<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/strong>: Mark all plugins, select \u201cDeactivate\u201d from the drop-down menu, and then click on \u201cApply<\/em><\/strong>\u201d to finish the changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"error<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to clear the cache of the browser, and then test the site, if the problem persists. If the issue has not been resolved yet, then move on to the next solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution #2: Confirm Address <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A newbie does not understand the difference between a site address and a WordPress address, so they end up having different URLs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"error<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The differences can cause major issues with the page loading because the browser is expecting the site address and then it gets the WordPress address. The error \u201cERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS<\/em><\/strong>\u201d is cause due to the wrong URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can check the URL by going to WordPress dashboard > Settings > General and then checking Site Address & WordPress Address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution #3: Delete .htaccess <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The site runs on a path, and it is created by the .htaccess file the redirection process’s main culprit could be the wrong configuration. In many cases, we have errors due to the wrong configuration, and you can solve them by correcting them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/strong>: Login to\nyour YouStable cPanel account and type \u201cfile manager.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"error<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/strong>: Click on the \u201cfile manager<\/em><\/strong>\u201d and click \u201cpublic_html<\/em><\/strong>\u201d to open it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"error<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3<\/strong>: I could\nnot find the .htaccess file, so you have to click on \u201csettings<\/em><\/strong>\u201d located at the\ntop right menu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"MANY<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 4<\/strong>: A\nconfirmation pop-up shows up, and you have to click on \u201cshow hidden files (dotfiles)<\/em><\/strong>\u201d\nand click on save. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"error<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 5<\/strong>: Now, I\ncan see the .htaccess file, and right-mouse click to view more options, and you\nhave to click on \u201drename<\/strong>\u201d to disable\nit. I have also pointed out that you should remember this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"error<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 6<\/strong>: Now, add\n\u201c.old<\/strong>\u201d to the file name because we\nare going to disable it, and then check if the problem resolves or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"error<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 7<\/strong>: In case,\nif the solution worked out for you, then go back and remove the\u201c.old<\/strong>\u201d to restore it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"error<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now, add the given codes at the bottom of the .htaccess file, and you can edit it by following the step I asked you to remember earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have shared the code above, so copy and paste it to resolve the issue. In case, if the problem persists, then you can contact the YouStable support team for information. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
