I installed a new plugin (BackWPup) on my wordpress installation. Since then the website shows "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS".

The example.com page isn’t working

mysite.com redirected you too many times.

Try clearing your cookies.

Cannot access my admin dashboard anymore to deinstall the plugin. So I logged into the server and had a look at my .htaccess file to find any redirection loops. Anyone have any Ideas on how to fix this issue?

my .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]    
</IfModule>

php_value upload_max_filesize 64M
php_value post_max_size 128M
php_value memory_limit 256M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300
# END WordPress```

  • [The plugin itself may do the redirects.](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4871942/how-to-redirect-to-another-page-using-php) .htaccess *seems* not to be the reason for the redirects.

the .htaccess file wasn't the problem. The plugin itself was the problem. So wanted to delete it manually on the server. Couldn't delete it but rename the folder of the plugin was enough! Website and loging in to the dashboard is working again! Thank you!
