You might have faced a common error the ‘infinite redirect’ error that occurs on WordPress sites. This can appear in a different way based on your browser. For example:<\/p>\n

Firefox<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nChrome<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cause of the Error<\/h3>\n

This error is usually occurs when the HOME and SITE URL within WordPress isn\u2019t configured properly. For example, if your site name is example.com, the Home and Site URL in your database should take to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • http:\/\/example.com.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If \u2018www\u2019 gets added to the Home and Site URL, it may appear as below in your database:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • http:\/\/www.example.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This will redirect your site in a loop.<\/p>\n

      Other causes<\/h3>\n
