Solution via WordPress Admin Panel

Make sure that the SSL settings are correctly written to your site address in the “General” settings section under the “Settings” section in the WordPres admin panel (wp-admin).

Manually Checking and Changing URL Settings

In the process of resolving the WordPres err-too-many-redirects error, you may have problems logging into the WordPres admin panel. Don’t panic, the solution is quite simple. For solution, access wp-config.php file in public_html via Cpanel/Plesk or FTP.

After right-clicking on the file, click “Edit” and add the following codes:

define('WP_HOME','https://yourwebsite.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://yourwebsite.com');

Disable Plugins

Another reason for Err_too_many_redirects error can be corrupted, outdated and not working properly plugins. Elimination of a plugin-related error is naturally possible by disabling this plugin. For this error, which is usually seen in SEO plugins, our advice is to first check the settings of the SEO plugin. If you cannot access the panel and you are not sure which plugin is causing this error, access your files via CPANEL/PLESK or FTP panel.

To disable plugins, open the “wp-content” folder inside the public_html file and rename the plugins file to plugins1.

Then check your site to see if the error has been fixed. If the problem is fixed, you can now access your WP-ADMIN screen.

After accessing your WP-ADMIN screen, rename the file you named plugins1 via CPANEL/PLESK or FTP to plugins. You can find which add-on is causing this problem by activating the add-ons one by one.

Edit the .htaccess file

Another reason for this problem is that an error in the “.htaccess” file puts the website in a redirect loop. If you tried the above methods and did not reach a result, returning the “.htaccess” file to WordPress basic settings will most likely solve the problem. For this, delete all the codes in “.htaccess”, add the following code and save your “.htaccess” file and close it.

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Most likely, your problem will be completely fixed after this code edit.
