This 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.


Cause: Redirect errors in your web browser are generally caused by blocked cookies.

Quick temporary solution:

Go directly to your blog's login page: 

  • Your blog login: https://blog.nus.edu.sg/insertyourblogname/wp-login.php
    • e.g. If your blog URL is:
      • https://blog.nus.edu.sg/myblog/, then your login URL is
      • https://blog.nus.edu.sg/myblog/wp-login.php
  • Click your blog's title (the link with the Home icon on the top horizontal toolbar). You should be able to access your blog.
  • If this does not resolve you issue, continue with the instructions below.

Solution:

First try to access Blog.nus on a different web browser to see if the redirect issue is indeed a browser-specific issue.

If it is not a browser-specific issue:

  • Allow/unblock cookies:

  • If cookies are already not blocked or unblocking cookies does not work:

  • Additional instructions for Firefox:
    If clearing the cache and deleting cookies does not work, it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

    • Go to the Firefox profile folder, delete or rename cookies.sqlite (to cookies.sqlite.old).

    • Also delete other present cookie files such as cookies.sqlite-journal.

    • Finally, check if DOM Storage is enabled.

      • Go to about:config.

      • Search for: dom.storage.enabled

      • If dom.storage.enabled value is false, right-click it, click Toggle to make the value true.

If all of these steps do not work, please send a support request to contact@campuspress.com, detailing the issue and the measures you have taken.
