 * We have temporary deactivated the plugin and it fixed the issue.
    When trying
   to access the home page right after the update to version 4.16, it said, “too
   many redirect try clearing your cookies.” Cleared cookies nothing, can’t access
   the home page. Tried from different computer and from different IP address. Still
   no home page. Disabled the plugin. The site is live and working. Where can I 
   find an older version as it worked perfectly?
 * Thank you
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-update-crushed-the-site%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Sounds identical to the one I reported a week or so ago. Sadly no answer to mine
   yet. Im looking for another plugin.

 * Yes I do need help.
 * I have created NO new redurects. All I have done is upgrade the plugin.
 * So the upgrade must include s change which is causing an existing redirect to
   fail, which did not fail before.
 * What might that change be?

 * I’m encountering an identical issue as well. Updating the plugin to version 4.16
   causes a “too many redirects” error on the home page. The plugin worked fine 
   in version 4.14 with WordPress 5.0.3 installed.

 * So, I reactivated the plugin and went into redirect settings. If you have an 
   old home page with http, may be, redirecting to home page with https in this 
   plugin, get rid of that redirect. I also got rid of all redirects that weren’t
   clicked ever but linked to home page. It fixed the issue.
    I don’t know how scientific
   is that. But it works now.

 * Thats great. But it would be a LOT easier if we were told what had changed to
   cause the error to only happen after the update. Then we would need to spend 
   hours guessing.
