1.)
Do other parts of your site work fine? just the /wp-admin having issues?
2.)
But now I can’t access /wp-admin
When you visit the page, what does the page show? blank?
* renamed plugin folder
Why do you renamed plugin folder? to hard disable the plugins?
* I added settings according to this forum, in the function.php of the theme:
update_option( ‘siteurl’, ‘https://jaime.digitalconcept.se’ );
update_option( ‘home’, ‘https://jaime.digitalconcept.se’ );
Instead of the above, maybe you want to try editing wp-config.php
define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://example.com' );
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.com' );
1) all other pages seems to work fine.
2) if I try /wp-admin I get the response from the browser “to_many_redirects” and the browser cancels loading the page, like a 404 or 500 error.
3) I renamed the plugins folder because that is what may guides on fixing a redirect problem on WP/wp-admin said I should do to disable all plugins, in case one of them where the problem.
4) I have already tried that in the wp-config.php
1.) Disable the plugins temporarily:
I.) Rename wp-contents/plugins directory to something like wp-contents/plugins_old
II.) Visit example.com/wp-admin/plugins.php file in your web browser, this will disable any plug-in that is “missing”.
2.) Edit wp-config.php file for HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO
I.) Comment out your previous HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO code mentioned above.
II.) Add the following code at the top:
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
if( strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'], 'https') !== false )
$_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';
else
$_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'off';
I don’t know i needed to open /wp-admin/plugins.php when renamed plugin folder.
Now it works again. Thanks
Glad to hear.
Yes, as far as I know, that’s what you need to do to disable the plug-ins.
However, to explain the cause further:
It’s probably not due to disabling the plug-ins that fixed the issues (disabling is only for insurance), but the code snippet that I posted above that fixed the issue. Your web server and reverse proxy were running in an infinite loop due to WordPress not being properly configured to know there is a SSL reverse proxy in place; that’s why you were getting ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS from you web browser.
