Title: Can't Access Multi site Network Admin Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Can't Access Multi site Network Admin * Resolved [StouffvilleDave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stouffvilledave/) * (@stouffvilledave) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-access-multi-site-network-admin/) * When logged into my site’s wp-admin dashboard I click on “mySites” then Network Admin” it does not load and I get this browser error. “Too many redirects occurred trying to open stouffville.com/ap-admin/networkadmin/” * Can anyone help. This started out of the blue a week or so ago and I can’t figure it out.
