Normally this error is specific to firefox, but is due to the config of the blog and would generally give an error whatever browser you were using. When you can access your blog using another pc and the same browser, it is likely your local firefox or network / connection settings. You should logon via ftp and delete all plugins and all themes except your default and classic theme, then try to access your wp-admin area again. Sometimes themes can cause issues on the admin area. Alternatively, instead of visiting YourDomain.com/wp-admin/ you could try visiting the login file directly. Sometimes this can work. You would visit YourDomain.com/wp-login.php Please reply with the details of your website, I would be happy to take a look for you. Does the problem happen when you enter you login details, or does it happen before you can enter your login details?

I have inquired with other users who live in Morocco (where I live) and they don't experience the same problem, so I am guessing it is not a problem with my Internet provider blocking certain sites, for example, but rather some sort of setting on my own computer? But some of the sites I cannot access include: marrakechxanthe.wordpress.com, and almiraatblog.wordpress.com. I get a blank white screen after a minute or so, but no content every arrives. YET, I can access http://cabalamuse.wordpress.com/. My Internet connection speed is 54.0 Mbps, cookies are enabled, I use WIndows Visa Home PRemium, with Service Pack 2. I just am not sure what's going on - but I appreciate you taking the time to check it out for me:) Thank you SO much for your reply!

Or just websites hosted at wordpress.com? It may be a local issue and not one directly associated with wordpress or the server. I would assume that if it were a problem with wordpress or the server, it would have been fixed pretty quick due to the number of people who would have been effected. If you can provide some examples of websites that display this problem when you try to connect to them, I would be happy to investigate it for you. Are all wordpress based websites effected?

I have not been able to access Wordpress blogs (or anything from Wordpress.com, or Typepad, for that matter) for several months. I use the most recent version of Safari. I found one fix which involved saving a code to my computer's root directory and then making it a proxy server for Wordpress, but a) I am not quite that tech-savvy, and b)there must be some simpler reason why I am not able to access Wordpress. Any further ideas would be SO welcome! I feel like I am missing out on valuable content in the blogosphere! What about if you are experiencing this problem from as a user?

The solution would ultimately depend on the problem at hand. This loop is caused by something sending the user back to the place the loop starts. It could be two or more plugins or your theme causing the loop. Have you deactivated all your plugins by logging in via ftp to see if that fixes it? If not, try doing the same with the theme you are using. This will force your site to use the default theme. Thank you for your kind words.

Then delete all plugins and all themes except your Classic and Default themes. This will stop all plugins and themes from working and you should now be able to access your wordpress blog and login. Once logged in, visit your plugins section where you will see it confirms that your plugins have been deactivated. Now you can upload and activate your plugins one by one, testing your site as you go. You will likely find that you get the same error when you activate a plugin or theme. This will be the one at fault. Hope this helps. Best wishes Hello, If you are getting this error with wordpress, you should download your plugins and themes via ftp.

This then creates an eternal loop. Normally this only efffects the login/admin section, however there are some category plugins that cause the same problem with a single category. We are very happy that it helped you. Whenever we come across a problem that takes a long time to diagnose, but is simple to fix when you know how, we will post it on our site to help you.

After going through each plugin, we were able to conclude that Category Visibility - RH Rev is the plugin causing the redirect loop. Firefox is really a smarter browser. That loop can bring a server down. This is an excellent post, thanks a lot for sharing. We were having issues with Pinoy Sports> which was upgraded to 2.7.1 from 2.0.
