Title: network admin getting redirect loop Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # network admin getting redirect loop * Resolved [hemant.sathe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hemantsathe/) * (@hemantsathe) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-getting-redirect-loop/) * Hi, * I have multiple blogs for past more than a year using WPMU. Recently when I upgraded to 3.1, I noticed that the super admin menu is replaced by network admin and when I tried to access the network admin, I am getting redirect loop basically for all URLs starting with /wp-admin/network. I have tried all options like disabling all plugins, removing all plugins, reinstalling fresh copy of 3.1 and changing the config file, reinstalling plugins, installing plugins to block canonical redirects. But so far nothing has worked. The blogs are working OK (have not done extensive testing) but things look good. Only in case of wp-admin/network/* I am getting the redirect loop. Can some one help? Thanks in advance. * Hemant Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 30 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-getting-redirect-loop/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-getting-redirect-loop/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [hemant.sathe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hemantsathe/) * (@hemantsathe) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-getting-redirect-loop/#post-2011471) * BTW, I am hosting site on godaddy.com. I am the only user and administrator. Not sharing the URL yet since only network admin function is affected. * Hemant * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-getting-redirect-loop/#post-2011491) * What’s the content of your .htaccess? * [Andrea Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) * (@andrea_r) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-getting-redirect-loop/#post-2011526) * I know partly this will be futile, but you’ll have to ask GoDaddy support for help. * on some servers, any foldders under wp-admin are getting ignored. * Thread Starter [hemant.sathe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hemantsathe/) * (@hemantsathe) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-getting-redirect-loop/#post-2011735) * Got some resolution.

For me, the setting of: define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘www.domain.tld’ ); had some issues with the www in front of the domain. Removed the www. and network admin worked again. * [DJIO | Dionizio Bach](https://wordpress.org/support/users/djio/) * (@djio) * [14 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-getting-redirect-loop/#post-2011795) * > … had some issues with the www in front of the domain.

I’ve tried everything that has been mentioned in the posts above but to no avail. * The main difference is that I’m running WP as an internal company intranet, so it’s on a local webserver which isn’t accessible externally. * I have the following in my config file, and commenting out doesn’t help: * ``` /** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */ define('DB_COLLATE', ''); define('VHOST', 'yes'); $base = '/subdir/'; define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'ukintranet.eu.company.net' ); define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/subdir/' ); define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1); define('BLOGID_CURRENT_SITE', '1' ); ``` * [pencilneck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pencilneck/) * (@pencilneck) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-getting-redirect-loop/#post-2011849) * Removing the www in this line: * `define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.domain.tld' );` * Worked for me.

Not true. * Without the www, I’m no longer able to create new sites in my network. My guess is that the abset www invalidates the nonce somehow, and it won’t let me proceed. * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-getting-redirect-loop/#post-2011852) * Shouldn’t be related to the nonce, but dump all your cookies and log back in. * [chickenrun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chickenrun/) * (@chickenrun) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-getting-redirect-loop/#post-2011854) * I’m having the same problem… removing the www from `define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE',' www.domain.tld' );` worked… now part of the network admin is redirected to the non-www version of the domain… is this a bug or something that will be switched back at some point (www.domain.tld network admin available again)? * Thanks 🙂 * enrico Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 30 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-getting-redirect-loop/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-getting-redirect-loop/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘network admin getting redirect loop’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [iis](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/iis/) * [network admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/network-admin/) * [upgrade](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/upgrade/) * [wpmu](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/wpmu/) * In: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) * 30 replies * 12 participants * Last reply from: [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * Last activity: [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-getting-redirect-loop/page/2/#post-2011888) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
