Title: WP-admin redirect loop Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # WP-admin redirect loop * [Freshspace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/freshspace/) * (@freshspace) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-43/) * Hi, * With most of our WordPress sites when we go to wp-admin and input our login it states that the page is on a ‘redirect loop’. Turns out we are logged in but we have to access the dashboard directly through the url or wp-admin/index.php and not simply the url followed by wp-admin.

Rename the current .htaccess file and create new one with the following contents. * # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!- d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress * You can refer the following WordPress page to configure .htaccess correctly. * [http://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess](http://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess) * If still the issue persists please try after removing www prefix in Site URL & Home URL fields from wp_options table of the WordPress database.
