 * Yes, it is in there.
    Along with twenty thirteen, twenty twelve, and two other
   themes I tried out and decided not to use.

 * I would think the fact that it didn’t revert to twenty-fourteen when I “removed”
   the current theme should be telling. That course of action had a different result
   than what should have happened. That means something.
 * I just don’t know what.

 * I have not changed anything on this site for the last month, except to update
   the plug-ins. The only security plug-in I use is Wordfence Security.
 * Going through the Login Trouble link Tara provided. So far nothing is working.
   -
   Tried using a different computer, and cleared the cookies and cache. -my wp-config
   file has no “DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE” in it. -Disabled the plugin folder. Did not
   change this problem. -Removed and Replaced the wp-login.php file. No change. -
   Tried renaming the current theme. It didn’t revert to twenty-fourteen, the site
   just went blank. I still was redirected to /not_found when I tried to access 
   the login page.
 * The next step is to manually adjust my database tables, which I’m not really 
   comfortable with doing.

 * I’ve been working it over with my friend who usually handles the server stuff,
   and we finally got it working. It looks like there has been some problem with
   file privileges. I’ll share some more info when I have the details, in case someone
   else has this problem.

 * Graaahhh!
    I just created a new database, and erased everything from the site,
   and downloaded and re-installed WordPress brand new again, and I STILL am getting
   this redirect loop nonsense!
 * Is there a problem with 3.8.2 that nobody caught yet?

 * Yes.
    I have two wordpress sites. They are both running on the same server. They
   are both connecting to the same database. They are however using different domains,
   and I ftp into separate folders. (Obviously.)

 * Okay.
 * Just cleared the cache, no change. Tried IE and Firefox, no change.
 * Still just a blank page.

 * Okay, I just tried adding the code that site mentioned.
 * Now when I try to access the site I get a blank screen. Nothing is visible; it’s
   just a blank white screen. When I look at the source code, it’s just an empty
   head and an empty body.
    When I try directly accessing the wp-admin page, it 
   is the same.
 * My other site is still working flawlessly.

 * If I just rename the file I only see an error message declaring “Error establishing
   a database connection”.
    If I change the database name, user, and password to
   what the database uses, (as well as the table prefix, of course) then I still
   have the same loop error.

 * Okay, I tried that, but it didn’t work.
    I was taken to a page that said:
 * > There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get
   > started.
   > Need more help? We got it.
   > You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t
   > work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.
 * I clicked the button that said “create a configuration file” but nothing would
   happen. I manually copied the link to /wp-admin/setup-config.php and entered 
   that URL but it just sent me back to the “Not found” page I’ve been staring at.

 * What old files?
    I’m running TWO websites on this server. (Actually three, but
   the third isn’t using WordPress.)
 * There are no old files for this domain; only the wordpress files I uploaded.

 * Well if you say so, I’ll just have to take your word at it. It still sounds silly;
   this is for my links page and I can’t imagine that I will get very many views
   on that page, especially compared to the actual content of my site.
 * So for the parts that I want to alter, the context is universally body.page-id-(
   page name here)?
    So to alter my links page it would be body.page-id-links #Part_To_Alter?
 * (Forgive me if I read that wrong, still new to php and css)

 * > No. The stylesheet is loaded once and then cached for subsequent pages.
 * Then why can I make a change to my stylesheet, load a new page, and see the changes?
   Whereas if I changed an image file I can go to a new page, come back, and it 
   still shows that same file until I hit refresh.
