Things to do in 2021
A random collection of a bunch of things I want to do this year, ie. 2021 🙂
Breaking the Curse of the Admin Redirection Loop
Second time this has happened to me: A WordPress site needed to be updated to WP 5.x and switched over to a temporary subdomain. After doing the usual dance of backup, duplicate and manual update of WP, when I was trying to access the frontend, I’ve got redirected again to the backend. The usual suspects […]
