I have checked my Apache error log and found the following errors:
[Tue Mar 13 05:04:47.855612 2018] [core:error] [pid 18177] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] AH00124: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.
This is a copy of my .htaccess
file:

Can anyone suggest what i need to change?
Your problem caused by this line :
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
So , get this ?
out between ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)
and (wp-(content|admin|includes).*)
like this :
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
Because , a?c
will match against ac
as well as a
and at your case if a URI is starting with wp-admin
it will match in two rules , first with this RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
and then with this and that why error happened.
Note: clear browser cache then test it .
