Hi Marty,
The error “too many redirects” means that the website keeps being redirected
between different addresses in a way that will never complete.
Usually the error too many redirects comes from your browser.
1)
check that the base_url within your site is not conflicting with a redirect in the .htaccess file.
These conflicting redirects will flip flop back and forth and never complete.
2)
clear your cache and cookies in your browser.
3)
check there is no conflict between redirecting from http to https back and forth
4)
The next step in troubleshooting these kinds of redirect loops is to use the Developer Tools
in Firefox or Chrome. These tools are commonly opened by pressing the F12 key. Make sure you
select the Network tab in either of these and then reload the page you are having an issue with.
After reloading the page, you should see the series of redirects listed out for you in the new
window. Looking at the redirects, you can see if they are redirecting between a few different
things or redirecting to the same thing. Either way, you can see the steps that lead up to
the error, instead of just the end user’s browser error.
