 * I cannot login to my wordpress admin dashboard. When I enter the correct login/
   password it directs me to this page (link below) instead of the dashboard.
 * [http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.10degreeslatitude.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.10degreeslatitude.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1)

 * So you are on this page, [http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.10degreeslatitude.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.10degreeslatitude.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1)
   and logging in brings you back to the same page?

 * @kmessginger – yes, if I am at [http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.10degreeslatitude.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.10degreeslatitude.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1)
   it recursively returns me back to that page even when using correct login/password.
   I’ve tried on cache clear browsers and different browsers and iphone – same result.
   Also none of the page or post links work. I’ve copied the new WordPress version
   over the top, and the issue is the same.

 * Have you tried:
    -deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem.
   If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic
   plugin(s). -switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * You can do this with FTP or by logging into your hosting account and using the
   file manager. Rename the plugins folder, plugins-old. Rename your theme to paalam-
   old and WP should open with the default theme.

 * Ok, I tried that and now the screen is blank on the website and the same recursive
   login issue remains.

 * Try to renaming `.htaccess` file _(located in the root)_ to something like `.
   htaccess-bak` temporary and retry. If that works, the culprit is your `.htaccess`
   and you need to create a fresh copy of `.htaccess` manually.

 * Ok, I deleted my .htaccess file and recreated with contents below, but it didn’t
   work.
 * # BEGIN WordPress
 * <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule

 * Notice how when you go to [http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-admin](http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-admin)
   it auto redirects to [http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.10degreeslatitude.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.10degreeslatitude.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1).
   I think that’s the problem.

 * That happens even though you enter correct username and password. Am I correct?

 * Are you guys able to get [http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-admin](http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-admin)
   to register in the URL bar, or does it change to this url once you click enter?

 * **[@nmueller1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nmueller1/)**, that’s normal
   with any WordPress site when you try to access WP Admin with [http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-admin](http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-admin).
   Try [http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-login.php](http://www.10degreeslatitude.com/wp-login.php)
   instead and it will open the same page without any redirect _in URL_.
 * The problem here with you is it won’t allow you to login _(redirect loop issue)_
   even though you enter the correct usename and password. Confirm please.
