2.14.1.1.1. Infinite redirect

The most common cause of an infinite redirect is a mismatch between the protocol and/or site address within WordPress itself and the protocol and/or destination address specified in the site settings or the .htaccess.

To rectify the situation:

  • If an infinite redirect loop occurs between HTTP and HTTPS, try disabling the HTTP/HTTPS redirect and check the situation again in 15 minutes.
  • If you encounter an endless redirect loop between the site address with www and without www, try disabling the corresponding redirect and check the situation again in 15 minutes.
  • If redirects are disabled in site settings but the issue persists, check the .htaccess file for any redirect directives. If any are present, correct them.
  • If the site uses an Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) containing characters from a national alphabet (e.g., Cyrillic), make sure it is listed on the site using the punicode (the name begins with xn–). If this is not the case, convert the original domain name to a panicode and update it on the site.
