# Redirection issue

 * I’ve been getting an error message when trying to access my blog since Tuesday.
   GoDaddy says it’s fine on their end & it might be my ISP. My ISP says they aren’t
   blocking anything and it’s GoDaddy. Some people can still access my blog and 
   read posts while others can’t. I’ve tried multiple devices & browsers. My blog
   is coming up right now, but the admin page still gives me the same error message.
   I ran a traceroute per GoDaddy’s twitter support. I spoke with another GoDaddy
   rep via chat with the traceroute results. They said it’s redirection issues and
   to talk to my developer. When I asked if that would be WordPress, they said yes.
   How do I resolve redirection issues, especially if I can’t even access my admin
   page?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fredirection-issue-20%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Yep, definitely a redirection issue. Going there, I get:
 *     ```
       HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
       X-Redirect-By: WordPress
       X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block

 * So, something is causing it to redirect to a localhost address (it loaded my 
   local website on my PC). Either something in your .htaccess file or some security
   or other plugin is doing something weird maybe.

 * I had something like this happen to me last night when ‘jiggering’ a Turnkey 
   install to a subdirectory in preparation to bringing it back as a multisite.
 * What happened in my case was there was a pair of ‘defines’ in the wp-config for
   the site URL and the actual WordPress address which differed slightly from the
   addresses I’d ‘shoehorned’ into the database since I couldn’t change them via
   the settings page with those defines preset.
 * I commented out the one but left the other thinking I needed it until the move
   was complete. Wrong!!!! I wound up redirecting to my local machine which doesn’t
   have a web server on it (it’s a Chromebook! <Grin>). I have an excuse… I’m getting
   old.
 * Anyway, you might look at those pieces. WP-Config, the settings page, and kill
   your htaccess (just rename it). That should possibly get you there.
 * Resetting (toggling) your permalinks will rebuild your htaccess giving you the
   correct WordPress statements which you can copy back to your renamed htaccess
   and then ‘fix the name’ once you have got the site and dashboard both working
   again.
 * Hope this helps at least set you on the right path.

 * Thanks for the replies. How do I do this when I can’t access my admin page?
