Tareq Hasan | I was so excited to see some of the changes in the latest version, but it looks like the update is causing an infinite redirect loop. I am using WPUF on a multisite installation. Everything was working as usual until I updated to the new version. After updating, I tried to switch over to a subsite's dashboard and received this message: "The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies." I was still able to go back to the main site dashboard and could see that the WPUF menu options were updated. I tried clearing my cache and cookie history, then went to log back into the main site using the wp-admin link. Now, trying to go to the main domain or any subdomain /wp-admin brings up the redirect error. I have been able to get into the dashboards using /login (I am using TML as well), but trying to get to another dashboard through "My Sites" on the admin bar also brings the same redirect error. I have confirmed that this is not a plugin conflict. With all other plugins active, and WPUF disabled, the redirect error does not occur. Likewise, with all other plugins disabled, and ONLY WPUF active, the redirect DOES happen. Below is an example of what the URL looks like when I get the redirect error. Any thoughts? http://creativedivergents.com/wp-admin/?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fcreativedivergents.com%2Fwp-admin%2F%3Fredirect_to%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcreativedivergents.com%252Fwp-admin%252F%253Fredirect_to%253Dhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fcreativedivergents.com%25252Fwp-admin%25252F%25253Fredirect_to%25253Dhttp%2525253A%2525252F%2525252Fcreativedivergents.com%2525252Fwp-admin%2525252F%2525253Fredirect_to%2525253Dhttp%252525253A%252525252F%252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%252525252Fwp-admin%252525252F%252525253Fredirect_to%252525253Dhttp%25252525253A%25252525252F%25252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%25252525252Fwp-admin%25252525252F%25252525253Fredirect_to%25252525253Dhttp%2525252525253A%2525252525252F%2525252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%2525252525252Fwp-admin%2525252525252F%2525252525253Fredirect_to%2525252525253Dhttp%252525252525253A%252525252525252F%252525252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%252525252525252Fwp-admin%252525252525252F%252525252525253Fredirect_to%252525252525253Dhttp%25252525252525253A%25252525252525252F%25252525252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%25252525252525252Fwp-admin%25252525252525252F%25252525252525253Fredirect_to%25252525252525253Dhttp%2525252525252525253A%2525252525252525252F%2525252525252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%2525252525252525252Fwp-admin%2525252525252525252F%2525252525252525253Fredirect_to%2525252525252525253Dhttp%252525252525252525253A%252525252525252525252F%252525252525252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%252525252525252525252Fwp-admin%252525252525252525252F%252525252525252525253Fredirect_to%252525252525252525253Dhttp%25252525252525252525253A%25252525252525252525252F%25252525252525252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%25252525252525252525252Fwp-admin%25252525252525252525252F%25252525252525252525253Fredirect_to%25252525252525252525253Dhttp%2525252525252525252525253A%2525252525252525252525252F%2525252525252525252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%2525252525252525252525252Fwp-admin%2525252525252525252525252F%2525252525252525252525253Fredirect_to%2525252525252525252525253Dhttp%252525252525252525252525253A%252525252525252525252525252F%252525252525252525252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%252525252525252525252525252Fwp-admin%252525252525252525252525252F%252525252525252525252525253Fredirect_to%252525252525252525252525253Dhttp%25252525252525252525252525253A%25252525252525252525252525252F%25252525252525252525252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%25252525252525252525252525252Fwp-admin%25252525252525252525252525252F%25252525252525252525252525253Fredirect_to%25252525252525252525252525253Dhttp%2525252525252525252525252525253A%2525252525252525252525252525252F%2525252525252525252525252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%2525252525252525252525252525252Fwp-admin%2525252525252525252525252525252F%2525252525252525252525252525253Fredirect_to%2525252525252525252525252525253Dhttp%252525252525252525252525252525253A%252525252525252525252525252525252F%252525252525252525252525252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%252525252525252525252525252525252Fwp-admin%252525252525252525252525252525252F%252525252525252525252525252525253Fredirect_to%252525252525252525252525252525253Dhttp%25252525252525252525252525252525253A%25252525252525252525252525252525252F%25252525252525252525252525252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%25252525252525252525252525252525252Fwp-admin%25252525252525252525252525252525252F%25252525252525252525252525252525253Fredirect_to%25252525252525252525252525252525253Dhttp%2525252525252525252525252525252525253A%2525252525252525252525252525252525252F%2525252525252525252525252525252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%2525252525252525252525252525252525252Fwp-admin%2525252525252525252525252525252525252F%2525252525252525252525252525252525253Fredirect_to%2525252525252525252525252525252525253Dhttp%252525252525252525252525252525252525253A%252525252525252525252525252525252525252F%252525252525252525252525252525252525252Fcreativedivergents.com%252525252525252525252525252525252525252Fwp-admin%252525252525252525252525252525252525252F |

Tareq Hasan | I think you need to create a page called “Login” with shortcode The new version comes with a page installer, clicking that link would’ve created the pages automatically for you. |

Dawn | Ok, that seems to be working. However, I have to get into every subsite using /login and use the page installer on each one individually, even though WPUF is network activated. Would be great if this or similar process are simplified in future updates as I have many subsites. |

Tareq Hasan | Sorry for the trouble, I didn’t check on multisite. So may be I overlooked it or it isn’t possible doing in multisite, not sure! |
