Error - Too many redirects

My website URL is:
libat.design

What I’m seeing is:

Error: too many redirects

I’m using this software:
Wordpress 5.3, new installation

Additional information:

I tried flushing DNS.
Still doesnt work.
Main Wordpress page loads correctly (same one as above)
Admin page (https://libat.design/wp-admin/) results in ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
Login page (https://libat.design/wp-login.php) results in HTTP ERROR 508

Thanks for your help!

This issue is probably caused by Flexible SSL. If you configure your WordPress site to use secure connections only, then WordPress will redirect people if it detects an insecure connection. Cloudflare by default uses Flexible SSL, which means the connection between you and Cloudflare is encrypted, but the connection between Cloudflare and your website is not. WordPress detects this insecure connection and will try to redirect the visitor to the secure URL. Even if the visitor is already using a secure connection on the other side of Cloudflare.

To fix this, you could try the following:

  1. Change the WordPress Site URL to NOT use https: Changing The Site URL – Documentation – WordPress.org
  2. Login to the Cloudflare website, find your domain, go to the Crypto tab and enable “Automatic HTTPS Rewrites” and “Always Use HTTPS”.
  3. Try to open your website in private browsing mode. This will help to circumvent any bad redirects cached by your browser.
