can't access wordpress admin

Question

Please could someone help me with my issue? My new website does not appear to be available, I have followed the one click wordpress installation on a droplet, and when it comes to set the admin password I follow the link and I get nothing. the IP address is 167.71.176.249. the domain name is starrysnapshots.com , and the nameservers are with cloudflare (moved from GoDaddy where I recently aquired the domain). I have tried clearing all local cache and purged DNS cache. my DNS ‘A’ record for starrysnapshots.com points to 167.71.176.249, and I have verified this on https://www.whatsmydns.net/ which is a propogation checker. I have successfully got HTTPS certificates for starrysnapshots.com , and www.starrysnapshots.com from letsencrypt via ssh into the droplet, and installed WP. Thanks in advance.

Hey @10002be05ea84cdbb9aa686305b637 , When I open your website, I get the page redirected you too many times.. The “redirected you too many times” error in WordPress is usually caused by a misconfiguration in your site’s settings or plugins. If this is a new Installation and you did not add any new Plugins then it’s about misconfiguration of the site’s settings. Check your .htaccess file: The issue may be caused by a misconfiguration in your site’s .htaccess file. Try renaming the file to .htaccess_old and see if that fixes the issue. If it does, you can regenerate a new .htaccess file by going to Settings > Permalinks in the WordPress dashboard and clicking the Save Changes button. Disable plugins: I know I said it shouldn’t be a plugin but just to be a 100% sure. Sometimes, the issue is caused by a conflicting plugin. Try disabling all your plugins and see if that fixes the issue. If it does, you can enable your plugins one by one to identify the plugin causing the issue. Use wp-cli to remove any https redirection if it’s in your database: Install WP-CLI Open your terminal or command prompt. Install PHP on your system if it’s not already installed. You can verify if PHP is installed by running the following command: php -v Download wp-cli by running the following command: `curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar` Verify the integrity of the downloaded file by running the following command: curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar.asc gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 80F70E11F0F0D5F10CB20E62F5DA5F09C3173AA6 gpg --verify wp-cli.phar.asc wp-cli.phar` Make the wp-cli.phar file executable by running the following command: `chmod +x wp-cli.phar` Move the wp-cli.phar file to the /usr/local/bin/ directory by running the following command: `sudo mv wp-cli.phar /usr/local/bin/wp` This will allow you to run the wp command from any directory on your system. Verify that wp-cli is installed by running the following command: `wp --info` This command will output the version of wp-cli that you have installed, as well as other system information. Use WP-CLI to change your siteurl Open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to the root directory of your WordPress installation. Enter the following command to log in to your WordPress site using wp-cli: wp login This will prompt you to enter your WordPress username and password. Once you are logged in, enter the following command to view the site’s current URL settings: wp option get siteurl This command will output the current site URL, including the protocol (http or https). If the site URL includes https, enter the following command to change the site URL to http: wp option update siteurl http://example.com Replace example.com with your site’s domain name.
