can't access subsites – "redirect loop"

    “Web page has a redirect loop” is the message I get when I try to access my subsites. I cannot access the Admin for them, nothing.

    I deleted site, created new one, and in WP Network Admin I downloaded/installed again. No change.

    Any input is appreciated. I am not a programmer, so coding solutions may not be an option. Database stuff, no way. Otherwise I will delete the entire install and start over.

    Thank you

    Are you using sub-domain or sub-directory installation? also are you using a mapping plugin?

    Hi,
    I don’t know what that means, directory vs. domain – directory I think.
    Main site: toni-english.com
    “Subsite” Quizzes is: toni-english.com/quiz

    Mapping plugin – I don’t know what that is either. Example please?

    And thank you so much for responding!

    You’re not using mapping. You are using Subdirectory

    What’s in your .htaccess?

    I will have to get that .htaccess. I don’t remember where it is. Which directory?

    NEWS: My WP Admin bar – that goes across the top of the site im Admin Mode. disappeared from the site view. There is an empty space. And Meta says I am still logged in.

    I still have that Admin bar across the top in Admin View.

    Not good.

    Okay. Plugins are a problem. The nav bar came back.

    Just ensure that your “Subsite: Quizzes – toni-english.com/quiz” is pointing to the subfolder location where you want it to. Alternate solution to the problem has been reported and solved at:

    Thank you very much! I don’t get it, but I am working on it. I see that I have some WP reference stuff to look up.

    I do not know where/what to look/find where Quizzes points to.

    I read the posts. I do have a Static Page for the front page on the main site. I am not terribly clear on those posted solutions.

    Note to self: The subsite Quiz I just created was there this time, without any CSS. (Nexus/Lexus looking) When I then changed the Front Page on the Main Site back to a Posts page – I went to the new subsite – nothing but “Redirect Loop” came up for that subsite I had just created.

    Well, my sites are no longer visible online. I am a moron. I used a plugin and “cleaned” my database.

    The core tables are gone.

    Thanks for everyone’s time and input.

    Next time I will not have a Static front page – since that seems to be at the root of the Looping thing.
