Troubleshooting: This Webpage Has a Redirect Loop

While working on a website, adjusting the custom logo for WordPress login form, I suddenly run into an error: After unusual long page loading time, I got a “This webpage has a redirect loop” error on browser window, instead of the login form. The page URL is: http://yoursiteurl/wp-login.php

The last thing I did was to add one line code in style.css, and there is no problem there. It is weird and out of blue. Well, giving this is a live website, I have to fix it immediately.

Trying a different browser on different machine, smartphone regenerated the same result.

This page has a redirect loop

(Different browser may show different message. For example, the message is “The page isn’t redirecting properly” on Firefox.)

After few round of search and test, I finally fixed this problem by simply re-saving the Permalink structure. It makes sense but unexplainable, as the last update I made to the site has nothing to do with .htaccess.

Here is the steps:

Step 1: Login to WordPress admin dashboard.

Step 2: Goto Settings > Permalinks, and locate your current permalink settings. (I assume you are using “Post Name“)

Step 3: Change the setting to something else, such as “Default”, click “Save Changes“.

Step 4: Quickly reset the permalink to original setting “Post Name“, and click “Save Changes“.

This is how I fixed the problem.
