Can't login to wp-admin after changing site's url and enabled redirect
-
Hi!
I assume made two key changes to our website in a wrong way.First, I changed both site’s url and wordpress’s data url in Settings->General. That lead to the fact that website’s resources became unavailable.
Later I enabled redirect plugin, configuring it to redirect from what I thought is the old url to a new one I set in the previous step. As a result I cannot access wp-admin anymore.
When I try to access old-url/wp-admin it gets redirected to new-url/wp-admin?redirect_to=old_url%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
how can break this redirection loop and regain access to wp-admin?
Thanks.

What is the URL of the site with the problem?

It’s on http://xn--halbestundeben-qsb.de/ (appears as Halbestundeüben.de) and it’s hosted by WordPress as far as I know.
I wanted to change the URL to our google-hosted domain halbestunde.com. and this is where it’s being redirected now.

That is a self-hosted WordPress.org site, which we really can’t help with here.
To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/
WordPress.org has complete documentation for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/support/ and support at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
With that said, they do have a few ways to fix that over at https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-the-site-url/
