Been reading your thread, BSTHARP, with great interest! The thing is I have a problem SOMEWHAT similar. Yesterday, I completely lost the possibility to go from DASHBOARD to MY SITE (on localhost) to view changes.

I got the error message from SAFARI that there are too many redirects. In one forum it was suggested that the problem could be used by clearing cache, history/cookies etc.
Which I did! No result!

Another forum suggested changing browser – that the problem was with SAFARI. This morning I downloaded Firefox – what happened when I entered http://localhost:8888/wordpress???? Same thing – an error message indicating that I had
redirections on the page pointing at itself (so it would never end!)

When I installed MAMP and WordPress (and the theme of my site), I followed the instructions in a youtube video, and it worked out well.

I am really blocked and do not know how to get further!!!

Being a newbie, I do think sometimes suggestions are what we in Denmark call ‘black talk’ – i.e. something absolutely incomprehensible. I therefore trust I can get help here, as the problem seemed similar to a certain degree – in a language I can understand and that tells me exactly what to do!

In relation to the above: in my Settings (in the dashboard), the URL is listed as http://localhost:8888/wordpress, so that should be correct, right? My files are in htdocs in the folder ‘wordpress’ (as was the instruction in the youtube video), also ok, right?

HELP! & Thanks a lot.
