 * I’m receiving a redirect loop when trying to visit the index.php page. I’ve uninstalled
   and reinstalled as well as had it in my main directory and sub directory. When
   I try to log in via wp-login.php I enter in my credentials, hit enter, and nothing
   happens. The fields are blank and there is no error message. This is via Godaddy’s
   installatron thing.

 * Have you checked with their support people to see why the automated thing isn’t
   working?
 * How about installing manually? Is that something you’d be up for trying if they
   aren’t able to help you get it resolved?

 * Ok, figured out what was wrong. When installing the app there is a drop down 
   to choose what URL to use for the install. There were two options, [http://www.namehere.com](http://www.namehere.com)
   and [http://namehere.com](http://namehere.com). I was choosing the first option
   with the www and apparently that was throwing the redirect loop. When I reinstalled
   it and used the [http://namehere.com](http://namehere.com) url it worked fine!

 * I have a problem as your subject title. But the case is difference.
 * Yesterday I updated the WP to 3.8.1. Today I try to login to the edit my website.
   But I can’t login anymore.
 * I use the normal login link: [http://www.phily.nl/wp-admin](http://www.phily.nl/wp-admin),
   then I got a redirect link of the login page: [http://www.phily.nl/wp-login2.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phily.nl%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://www.phily.nl/wp-login2.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phily.nl%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1)
 * It shows “wp-login2.php”. I don’t see any wp-login2.php on the WP folders or 
   file. It’s only wp-login.php. Anyway…I fill in the username and password. Then
   URL shows: [http://www.phily.nl/wp-login.php](http://www.phily.nl/wp-login.php).
   But it’s a blank page.
 * I have no idea what’s wrong. If anyone knows anything about that?
