im having the same exact problem
you installed wordpress on localhost, christie?
I cant even understand the op’s post — so im unclear how you can.
I have a login problem too. I have reinstalled 3 times using the fantastico tool.
I tried requesting a new password but that was not sent to me. I went to the blog address and was not able to reach it.This message was given
Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked.
There are not blocked cookies and I cleared my cookies to be sure.
Any ideas as to how to fix this.
PS Also there are no redirects
Do you have Cpanel? If so, then maybe you should try a manual install and see if that works better. See the video below for step-by-step directions.
