As you may know. WordPress operates on an SEO Friendly URL Structure to make it easier for crawlers from Google, Bing, and other search engines (yes, there are others!) to find content on your website.<\/p>\n<p>Several plugins also use this redirect feature, such as Yoast SEO which allows you to perform advanced SEO features with categories and posts. Sometimes these changes can cause the redirects to malfunction, and users will be redirected back and forth from one URL to the other, then see the too many redirects error.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-to-fix-the-wordpress-too-many-redirects-error\">How to Fix The WordPress Too Many Redirects Error<\/h3>\n<p>Typically this error is caused because incorrect URL information is present in the WordPress Address URL or Site Address URL in the General Settings of your WordPress Site.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Struggling with WordPress troubleshooting?
