Hello, gabegriggs1, & welcome. That is actually expected behavior.
Hi,
Here is a nice article with detailed steps to rectify this problem. http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-wordpress-login-page-refreshing-and-redirecting-issue/
Try following the instructions.
If that doesn’t work, check your server error logs for the domain.
Good day!
I previously followed these steps and got my CSS back on the site, however, I still cannot log in to wp-admin. I think this is an issue with the sites cookie settings but I’m not sure how to fix them. Some of the cookies are retrieved from my main website, since WP is installed on a subdomain. Any other ideas?
Gabe
If you’re using chrome, open chrome://settings/content/cookies and erase the cookies associated with your primary & subdomains or erase all cookies.
Try logging in after that.

I have tried accessing the link from different browsers but i’m also facing the same problem.
Can you try disabling all your plugins using the server’s file manager / ftp. Just rename plugins folder to plugins_old. That should disable all the plugins.
Then try logging in.
Also check your server’s error log for any info related to problem. If there is, that should provide sufficient info.
Gabe, create a backup of your htaccess file and erase the existing file. If you’re able to login after that, the problem was associated with your .htaccess file, and you can generate a new file by accessing the Permalinks section.
Hope this helps.
#1. Tried renaming the plugins folder and it did not work.
#2. I don’t even have an htaccess file.
Thank you for helping me by the way!
Gabe
It seems that it is still trying to pull cookies from the main site. Not sure as to what I can do about that.
Are you sure that you don’t have an htaccess file. Usually it’s hidden.
Are you perchance running any caching plugins, Gabe?
When I went to the login page, it appeared just fine. Are you saying you’re getting login errors, you’re logging into your main domain, or what precisely is occurring?
It’s not there according to Windows, even with the settings showing hidden files and folders.
Gabe, when I go to http://beta1.betahunters.com/wp-admin it goes to http://beta1.betahunters.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fbeta1.betahunters.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1. That’s expected. I also receive a login screen. If you are not, then are you perchance running any caching plugins on the site?
Also, you may have a .htaccess file in -your web root. I don’t know what that is, as these are not standardized, but commonly it’s either htdocs or public_html. You’ll need to get to that using either your hosting provider’s file manager or an FTP client, preferably 1 that supports some sort of secure file transfer. You will need to enable the viewing of hidden files in whichever of these you choose, though sometimes it is enabled by default.
I know it goes to wp-login but that’s not the issue. It’s getting to the dashboard. I cannot get to my dashboard. Also, my server is Windows-based.
