 * When I go to the admin page on this site: [http://www.upperrissington-pc.gov.uk](http://www.upperrissington-pc.gov.uk)
 * I get this message: The webpage at [http://www.upperrissington-pc.gov.uk/wp-admin/](http://www.upperrissington-pc.gov.uk/wp-admin/)
   has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing
   third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration
   issue and not a problem with your computer.

   code: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
 * Can anyone help?

 * It could be a faulty plugin or theme option causing the redirect loop.
 * I would use either FTP or your hosts cPanel.. and rename the “plugins” directory.
   This will force all plugins to deactivate.
 * See if this fixes the redirect issue. If it does, you should be able to log into
   your WP admin panel. Rename the plugins directory back to it’s original name..
   and you can reactivate plugins. If the error happens again, you should know which
   plugin is causing the issue.

 * Very strange I get the look of logged on.
 * The menu system appears at the top – making you think that you can add or edit
   pages.
 * Clicking on them I get a 404 error.

 * Hmmm… have you changed anything in your .htaccess or wp-config.php files?
 * When exactly did this start happening?

 * Only discovered it today.
