Can’t login after enabling object cache

After enabling the object cache dropin in wp-content, do you still have any issues?

Not sure what you mean by enabling dropin in `wp-content.

As of now, things have gotten worse. I enabled caching. All my browser windows got logged out with no way of logging back in.

When I try wp redis disable it tells me Error: Object cache could not be disabled. Same when I run ‘wp cache flushand even deactivating the plugin through wordpress-cli does nothing. Even after Iflushall`.

I also created an empty object-cache.php file, but when I do I can’t even enable caching any more since the interface tells me An unknown object cache drop-in was found. To use Redis, please replace it now. I assumed the plugin was only using advanced-cache.php.

Ok, just got this email:

1. Delete the /wp-content/object-cache.php file.
2. Do a full flush of your Redis server: redis-cli flushall
3. Make sure your database is empty.
4. Go to “Settings -> Redis” and tap on “Enable Cache”

Sorry, nothing is working.

I did all the steps you mentioned, deactivated the plugin, flushed the cache with wp-cli. Then reactivated it. Still the same issue.

I tried to set WP_REDIS_HOST in wp-config. I set it to 127.0.0.0 and localhost, but it’s the same.

I also set maxmemory 128mb and maxmemory-policy allkeys-lfu in ~redis.conf` for good measure.

I ran monitor in redis-cli and I see the plugin working. I see the object-cache.php (I didn’t realize the file got deleted when you disabled object cache). When I run info keyspace, I see the DB, but for the life of me I can’t figure out why the WP admin gets stuck. I enter my user name and password, press submit and it shows the login screen again.

You’ll have to be more specific. What exactly isn’t working, what’s the current status?

As I mentioned, I can’t log into WordPress once the plugin is activated. I get to the login screen, enter my user name and password, and instead of logging me in, it presents the login screen again.

The problem goes away when I Disable Object Cache.

Additionally, when I Enable Object Cache and the plugin connects to Redis, I can’t flush the cache. When I press the button, it tells me there was an error. Similarly, I can’t use wp-cli to flush the cache or disable redis-cache. It also throws Error: Object cache could not be disabled.

What does that print?

redis-cli flushall
redis-cli dbsize

127.0.0.1:6379> flushall
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> dbsize
(integer) 0
127.0.0.1:6379> 

Ok, great. Now when you enable the object cache in “Settings > Redis”, what happens?

When I click Enable Object Cache

1. I see

Status: Connected
Client: PhpRedis (v5.1.1)
Key Prefix: wlikjwe9812wklj

I also attached a copy of the diagnostic at the end of this message

2. The WordPress login screen is no longer working. When I enter my username and password and press enter, instead of loging me in, it asks me to enter my username and password again.

3. When I press the Flush Cache button, I see Object cache could not be flushed.

4. When I press Disable Object Cache the WordPress login screen is usable again.

Try deleting all your cookies for the domain and try logging in again.

Also, try using WP_REDIS_DATABASE=8 or whatever to make sure there are no conflicts.

Just tried it and nothing. Cleared all cache and cookies from the browser. Set WP_REDIS_DATABASE=8. I also added WP_REDIS_SELECTIVE_FLUSH=true (it wasn’t set before), but that didn’t do anything either, so I removed it.

Thank you so much for sticking with me on this. I’m sure I must be an edge case, so I greatly appreciated it.

Just one thought, could the fact that the domain isn’t publically available cause the issue? It’s a staging server at the moment, so /etc/hosts on my machine and the server’s is pointing the server’s IP. I don’t see why, but I’m at a loss.

Thanks again for your help.

P.S I’m encountering the issue on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox

Looks like it’s not a browser issue and the site not being publicly available isn’t a problem. I’ve seen the redirect-login-loop before, but never related to Redis, usually it was a SSL/TLS issue or related to cookies.

I’m tempted to say, disable all your other plugins (since it’s staging) and see if it’s a conflict with another plugin.

Thanks again for your perseverance.

Before contacting you, I had enabled troubleshooting mode, but after your suggestion, I manually deactivated all plugins, but unfortunately, the issue is still there.

Should I try to remove the SSL certificate and Certbot?
